Celtic Crown & Calvados – Dublin, Kirkwall & Le Havre

About this cruise

If you've got 12 nights to work with, this sailing from Southampton on August 26, 2026 through Falmouth Jamaica, Cobh (Cork) and Dublin, with additional stops along the British Isles & Western France is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The British Isles & Western France route takes in Jamaica, Ireland, United Kingdom and France, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Of the stops, Liverpool tends to be the one people talk about: The beat goes on at the Mersey. Around 12 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Majestic Princess keeps you well fed. 9 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Southampton before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
