Cruise Description PONANT invites you on an 8-day cruise aboard Le Lapérouse for an exceptional immersion in Celtic lands, from Dublin to County Cork, via Scotland and Isle of Man. This interlude will take you to the heart of landscapes of wild and melancholic beauty. Between lush meadows, craggy cliffs, small colourful villages, peat bogs and moors, succumb to the charms of these lands steeped in mystery.

Over the course of your trip, at every port of call guests will each be able to choose one included excursion from the selection offered by Ponant. On this cruise, explore the coastline of the Isle of Man aboard heritage trains departing from Douglas, wander the streets of Cork city centre, or visit Canada Hill from Rothesay to admire the uninterrupted views. The range of experiences on offer promises intense and varied moments (for the full list of excursions, click on the Itinerary tab).

Le Lapérouse will set sail towards Rothesay, an elegant Victorian seaside resort on the Isle of Bute. Constructed around its 13th-century castle, the small town brims with charm, with its fine dwellings in the extravagant Georgian architectural style, and its sumptuous wild and landscaped gardens.

Your ship will then take you to the Isle of Man, located between the United Kingdom and Ireland, with a clear Celtic and Viking heritage. The capital Douglas is an authentic postcard from United Kingdom of yesteryear with a Victorian atmosphere. You will also discover Liverpool, a former industrial powerhouse, today completely redeveloped, located on the banks of the Mersey and famous as the birthplace of the Beatles.

In the north of Wales and in the west of the captivating Isle of Anglesey, succumb to the charms of the enchanting small port town of Holyhead. Often called “the mother of Wales” due to its importance in history, Holyhead is a paradise for anyone with a passion for natural landscapes and heritage. After a unique stop in Bantry, between spectacular cliffs, a fascinating bay, and vast stretches of orange-tinged moors, you will call at Cobh. Charming and romantic, a place of history and legend, the city reveals itself through its maze of cobbled streets with, in the background, its 17th-century fortress and its majestic forest.

Your cruise will end in Dublin, the Irish capital brimming with convivial atmosphere and authentic charm.
