British Isles Grand Tour – Dublin & Edinburgh

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 12-night sailing leaves Amsterdam on May 9, 2026 and visits Cobh (Cork), Dublin and Holyhead, with additional stops along the British Isles & Western France. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 7 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Stone-walled harbours, cream teas, and rain that clears just long enough for the view to be worth it. Liverpool stands out. It's The beat goes on at the Mersey. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on Celebrity Eclipse. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 5 more when you feel like treating yourself. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. All in all, it's a solid trip.
