Isles & Empires Grand Tour – Liverpool & Dublin

About this cruise

This one leaves Dover on July 31, 2026 and spends 9 nights visiting Cobh (Cork), Dublin, Liverpool, Holyhead, Greenock (Glasgow) and Belfast at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. Fish and chips in one port, moules-frites in the next. Close neighbours, very different kitchens. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Carnival Legend keeps you well fed. 8 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The sweet spot for most travellers: you get to know the ship, see the ports, and come home before the laundry piles up. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
