Expedition Cruise: England, Wales, Ireland, Northern Ireland & Scotland from Portsmouth to Edinburgh | 13 days | max. 114 passengers

+++ Up to 25% early-bird discount for new bookings made by September 30, 2026 +++

Most trips through the British Isles take place on the mainland. This expedition combines five countries on a single sea voyage: from Portsmouth across the Isles of Scilly, Wales, and Ireland, all the way up to the Hebrides, St. Kilda, Orkney and Fair Isle all the way to Edinburgh. Four UNESCO World Heritage Sites, some of the most significant Seabird colonies the North Atlantic and islands where more birds nest than there are people living in London.

The MS Sea Spirit carries up to 114 passengers to islands and ports that are inaccessible to large cruise ships. At suitable stops, Zodiacs are launched, accompanied by an experienced expedition team.

The route takes you to prehistoric sites older than the pyramids, to abandoned settlements on windswept cliffs, and to a volcanic rock formation that David Attenborough has called “one of the wildlife wonders of the world.” On board, ornithologist David Steel and award-winning wildlife photographer Kevin Morgans accompany every shore excursion with lectures and workshops.

Wir empfehlen Ihnen diese Kreuzfahrt rund um die Britischen Inseln, wenn Sie fünf Länder und vier UNESCO-Welterbestätten auf einem einzigen Törn erleben möchten — besonders geeignet für Naturbegeisterte und Kulturinteressierte gleichermaßen. Vor der Reise lohnen sich ein oder zwei Tage in London, nach der Reise in Edinburgh. Unser Team stellt Ihr individuelles Vor- oder Nachprogramm zusammen.

itinerary

From Portsmouth to five countries and Europe’s largest seabird colonies

Days 1 and 2 | Arrival in London and boarding in Portsmouth

You’ll arrive at London Heathrow Airport and check into your included hotel room at the Hilton Garden Inn, located right next to the terminal. The rest of the first day is yours to enjoy at your leisure.

The next morning, a bus transfer will take you to Portsmouth on the south coast of England. In the afternoon, you’ll board the MS Sea Spirit. Settle into your cabin and explore the ship: the library, lounge, deck jacuzzi, and open bridge are all at your disposal. At the captain’s welcome cocktail reception, you’ll meet the expedition team before the ship sets sail into the English Channel.

Day 3 | Tresco, Isles of Scilly

The Isles of Scilly lie 45 kilometers off the coast of Cornwall and benefit from the warm Gulf Stream. The result is a subtropical microclimate that is unmatched on the British mainland. The MS Sea Spirit anchors off Tresco, the second-largest island in the archipelago.

The Abbey Garden is home to over 20,000 exotic plants from more than 80 countries, ranging from South African proteas to New Zealand tree ferns and Brazilian bromeliads. The garden was established in 1834 on the ruins of a 12th-century Benedictine abbey. Next door, the Valhalla Museum displays a collection of figureheads salvaged from shipwrecks around the islands.

Days 4 and 5 | Dunmore East and the Saltee Islands, Ireland

The MS Sea Spirit crosses the Celtic Sea and arrives in Dunmore East, a fishing village on Ireland’s southeast coast. From here, two excursions are on the itinerary: a visit to Waterford Crystal, Ireland’s oldest crystal manufacturer (founded in 1783), and Mount Congreve Botanical Garden, which features approximately 3,000 plant species across 28 hectares.

On the second day, the ship sails past the Saltee Islands, Ireland’s most important seabird sanctuary. The two uninhabited islands are home to breeding colonies of northern gannets, puffins, razorbills, and guillemots. You’ll approach the cliffs by Zodiac, while the expedition team identifies and explains the bird species.

Conwy Castle, a medieval castle on the Welsh coast

Day 6 | Llandudno, Wales

The MS Sea Spirit is anchored off Llandudno on the north coast of Wales. The shore excursion takes you to Snowdonia National Park, a mountainous landscape featuring peaks over 1,000 meters high, glacial lakes, and slate gorges. The mountain village of Betws-y-Coed lies at the confluence of three rivers and is considered the gateway to the national park.

On the way back, the tour stops at Conwy Castle, one of the best-preserved medieval fortresses in Europe. King Edward I had the castle built between 1283 and 1289 to secure his rule over Wales. Eight massive towers, a 1.3-kilometer-long rampart, and the view over the mouth of the River Conwy make the site a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Day 7 | Portrush, Northern Ireland

From Portrush on Northern Ireland’s Atlantic coast, it’s just a short drive to the Giant’s Causeway. Around 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, most of them hexagonal, rise out of the surf. They were formed about 60 million years ago by volcanic activity and have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986.

The Causeway Coastal Route connects the Giant’s Causeway with steep cliffs, hidden coves, and Dunluce Castle, a medieval castle ruin perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking the sea. The site served as inspiration for parts of the series *Game of Thrones*.

Fingal's Cave on the island of Staffa, with its striking basalt columns

Day 8 | Staffa and Iona, Inner Hebrides

The day begins on Staffa, an uninhabited volcanic island off the west coast of Scotland. Basalt columns, similar to those at the Giant’s Causeway, form a 72-meter-deep sea cave here: Fingal’s Cave. The cave’s acoustics and the symmetry of the columns inspired Felix Mendelssohn to compose his Hebrides Overture in 1829. You’ll approach the cave entrance by Zodiac.

In the afternoon, the ship sails to Iona, one of Scotland’s most historic islands. In 563, the Irish monk Columba founded a monastery here that became the cradle of Christianity in Scotland. Today’s Iona Abbey dates back to the 13th century and houses the tombs of 48 Scottish kings, including Macbeth and Duncan, whose stories Shakespeare immortalized in his plays.

Day 9 | St. Kilda, Outer Hebrides

St. Kilda is the most remote archipelago in the British Isles: 66 kilometers west of the Outer Hebrides, a four-hour boat ride from the nearest inhabited land. The last community of 36 people was evacuated in 1930 at their own request, after life on the storm-battered cliffs had become unbearable.

Today, St. Kilda is one of only 39 dual UNESCO World Heritage Sites worldwide, recognized for both its natural and cultural significance. At Conachair, the cliffs drop 430 meters vertically into the sea, making them the highest sea cliffs in the British Isles. Over 1,400 cleits—small stone huts—still stand on the islands, where residents once dried seabirds and provisions. A million seabirds breed here, including the world’s largest colony of Atlantic shearwaters.

The Neolithic settlement of Skara Brae on the Orkney Islands

Day 10 | Kirkwall, Orkney Islands

Orkney has more Neolithic sites concentrated in a small area than almost anywhere else in Europe. The tour begins at Skara Brae, a settlement that lay hidden beneath sand for 5,000 years and was uncovered by a storm in 1850. The ten stone houses, featuring built-in shelves, beds, and a drainage system, are older than Stonehenge and the Pyramids of Giza.

A few kilometers away stands the Ring of Brodgar, a stone circle with 27 standing megaliths (originally 60), surrounded by a ditch that was carved out of the rock 4,500 years ago. In Kirkwall itself stands St. Magnus Cathedral, built beginning in 1137 from red and yellow sandstone. It is considered the best-preserved medieval building in Scotland.

Day 11 | Fair Isle, Shetland

Fair Isle lies halfway between Orkney and Shetland; it is one of the most remote inhabited islands in the United Kingdom, with a population of about 60. The island is known for two things: its knitting patterns, which have been handcrafted for centuries, and its seabirds.

The Fair Isle Bird Observatory is one of Europe’s most important bird-watching stations. Thousands of puffins, great skuas (Bonxies), fulmars, and cormorants nest on the cliffs. In May, wildflowers bloom on the sheltered slopes, while the expedition team guides you to the best viewing spots.

Days 12 and 13 | Isle of May, Bass Rock, and Edinburgh

The MS Sea Spirit enters the Firth of Forth, the bay off the coast of Edinburgh. The first destination is the Isle of May, a national nature reserve where between 40,000 and 50,000 breeding pairs of puffins nest. Amid the bird colonies lie the ruins of St. Adrian’s Chapel, dating from the 12th century, and the lighthouse built by Robert Stevenson in 1816.

In the afternoon, the ship sails past Bass Rock, a 107-meter-high volcanic rock that appears completely white in the summer. The reason: over 150,000 northern gannets (Morus bassanus), which form the largest colony of their kind in the world here. David Attenborough described Bass Rock as “one of the wildlife wonders of the world.” You’ll circle the rock by Zodiac, at eye level with the birds.

The next morning, the MS Sea Spirit will dock at the Port of Leith, Edinburgh’s historic harbor district. Disembarkation will take place after breakfast. A group transfer will take you to Edinburgh Airport or downtown.

Those who stay will find Scotland’s capital spread out before them: Edinburgh Castle on the Castle Rock, the Royal Mile, Calton Hill, and the extinct volcano Arthur’s Seat.

The daily programs described here are for your guidance. The itinerary may vary considerably due to local ice and weather conditions, last-minute permit procedures, and local authorities, but also to respond to current conditions regarding wildlife viewing.Theexpedition leader on board will determine the final itinerary and daily program. Flexibility is of utmost importance during our expedition-style voyages.

Photo tour (included)

A puffin among wildflowers in the British Isles

The British Isles offer world-class wildlife photography: puffins among wildflowers, northern gannets in a nosedive, gray seals on secluded beaches, and the dramatic basalt formations of Staffa and the Giant’s Causeway.

Wildlife photographer Kevin Morgans, winner of the Bird Photographer of the Year award and author of “Puffins: Life on the Atlantic Edge,” will be joining us on this trip. During lectures on board and during shore excursions, he will share practical tips on composition, lighting, and animal behavior.

Whether it’s a close-up of a puffin on Fair Isle or a panoramic view of the northern gannet colony on Bass Rock, Kevin knows the best vantage points at every landing site and will help you make the most of every opportunity.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get to Portsmouth?

Portsmouth is about a 90-minute train ride from London Waterloo. From German airports, you can fly to London Heathrow or Gatwick and continue your journey from there by train or shuttle bus. We’ll take care of all your travel arrangements, including flights, transfers, and overnight stays in London or Portsmouth.

When is the best time to take a cruise around the British Isles?

The best time to visit is between May and August. During these months, puffins nest on the cliffs, daylight in Scotland lasts well past 10 p.m., and temperatures range from a pleasant 12 to 18 degrees. June and July offer the best conditions for birdwatching in Orkney, Shetland, and the Hebrides.

What kind of clothing do I need for an expedition cruise to the British Isles?

Waterproof clothing is essential: a waterproof jacket AND waterproof pants. The weather in the British Isles changes quickly, and you will get wet during Zodiac landings. Underneath, we recommend fleece and thermal underwear in layers. Also bring sturdy hiking boots, a hat, gloves, and binoculars for birdwatching. Rubber boots will be provided on board.

What happens in case of bad weather?

This is an expedition cruise. The captain and the expedition leader adjust the itinerary daily based on weather, sea conditions, and visibility. If a port or island stop cannot be reached, an alternative will be chosen. St. Kilda, one of Europe’s most remote archipelagos, is particularly dependent on weather conditions. There are numerous alternative options along the British Isles, so the total number of shore excursions generally remains high. This flexibility is part of the expedition experience and is not a limitation.

Do I need a visa for the UK?

German, Austrian, and Swiss nationals do not need a visa to visit the United Kingdom for stays of up to six months. Since Brexit, a valid passport is required; an identity card is no longer sufficient. As of January 8, 2025, an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) is also required, which must be applied for online in advance (cost: 10 GBP, validity: 2 years). Since the route also includes Ireland: EU citizens may enter Ireland with a passport or national ID card. For the latest information, please visit the [U.S. Department of State](https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/aussenpolitik/laender/grossbritannien-node/grossbritanniensicherheit/206408). Different regulations may apply to other nationalities.

What animals can I see in the British Isles?

The British Isles are a birdwatcher's paradise. On the cliffs of Orkney, Shetland, and the Hebrides, puffins, northern gannets, guillemots, kittiwakes, and fulmars breed. With a little luck, you may spot minke whales, dolphins, otters, and gray seals in the waters. The Shetland Islands are home to some of Europe’s largest seabird colonies.

What sets an expedition cruise around the British Isles apart from a regular cruise?

The MS Sea Spirit carries a maximum of 114 passengers to places that large cruise ships cannot reach: remote islands, narrow bays, and uninhabited bird colonies. You’ll disembark directly onto pristine coastlines via Zodiac. An expedition team of biologists, historians, and ornithologists accompanies every landing and gives lectures on board. The itinerary is adjusted daily based on weather conditions and wildlife sightings.

Which expedition ship will be used, and how big is it?

The MS Sea Spirit is a modern expedition ship that can accommodate up to 114 passengers. With ten Zodiacs (inflatable boats), you can reach even the most remote landing sites. On board, you’ll find comfortable suites, a restaurant, a lecture lounge, a library, outdoor decks for wildlife viewing, and an open bridge. The ship is equipped with Rolls-Royce stabilizers.

Do I need to speak English for the expedition cruise?

The official language on board is English. All presentations, safety briefings, and announcements will be conducted in English. Some members of the expedition team also speak German and are available to answer any questions you may have. Since the trip takes you through English-speaking regions, a basic knowledge of English is helpful.

Do I need special insurance for the expedition cruise?

Emergency evacuation insurance with a minimum coverage of USD 100,000 per person is required for participation. In addition, we strongly recommend international health insurance that includes medical repatriation, as well as travel cancellation insurance. You can find suitable policies at [Hanse Merkur Travel Insurance](https://www.hmrv.de).

Which historical sites will the expedition visit?

The route takes you to some of Britain’s most significant historical sites: Skara Brae in Orkney (a 5,000-year-old settlement), the Ring of Brodgar, the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), Conwy Castle in Wales (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), Iona Abbey, and Edinburgh Castle. The expedition team provides historical context for each stop through lectures.

What is included in the price of the British Isles Expedition?

The price includes: one night’s accommodation in London Heathrow with breakfast, all transfers, all nights on board in the selected cabin category, full board, an all-inclusive beverage package (soft drinks, house wine, house beer, house spirits, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and espresso around the clock), all shore excursions and Zodiac rides, guidance from the expedition team, onboard lectures, an expedition parka as a gift, rental rubber boots, Wi-Fi, and port fees.

Can I extend my trip to the British Isles with a pre- or post-tour program?

Yes. Many travelers combine the expedition with a few days in London before departure or explore Edinburgh after arrival. Both cities offer a wealth of cultural activities, and we can arrange customized pre- and post-trip itineraries, including hotels and transfers. Please contact us.
