Ireland, Scotland & England

11 or 14 days

Killarney, Dublin, North Wales, Edinburgh Region, London, with extension to Bath Region | TBR

Over the course of thousands of years on the British Isles, kingdoms have come and gone, borders have been erased and redrawn, while millions of everyday folk have lived out their lives in the shifting tides of history. This whirlwind tour over land and sea begins in Ireland, whose rolling glens and beautiful lakes are the stuff of song, story, and spirited poetry. By ferry, you'll cross the Irish Sea into Holyhead, to marvel at Conwy Castle's mighty turrets in Wales, then journey north to walk the winding, magical streets of Edinburgh, capital of Scotland. Finally, the beating, bustling heart of the Commonwealth awaits in London, where museums, famous locales, and centuries-old landmarks tell the story of one of the most influential Empires in history. Discover four of the most storied countries in the world, all in one spellbinding program.
