About the cruise

Join us for a relaxing summer cruise around Britain’s most enticing ports. Travelling direct from Southampton, it’s an incredibly hassle free way to get away – and you’ll be amazed at just how much fun and pleasure you can pack in on board Oriana along the way.

First stop, magnificent Edinburgh, rugged capital of Scotland since 1437. With a striking mix of Medieval and Georgian architecture, it’s considered one of the most picturesque cities in Europe. Following a stop at Invergordon, you’ll arrive at bustling Kirkwall, capital of Orkney and home to the 12th century Bishop’s Palace. Take a thrilling ride on Belfast’s new Big Wheel, standing 200 feet high above City Hall, or stroll around the oldest covered market in Ireland, St George’s Market.

Glasgow offers a vibrant mix of culture and architecture, before you experience a little of the Irish ‘craic’ with stops at both Cork (from Cobh) and Dublin. Be certain to make the most of your evenings here too – perhaps with a chilled Guinness? Guernsey’s St Peter Port is your final port of call and it’s the prettiest town in the Channel Islands. Take time to explore the Ruettes – tranquil lanes dedicated to walkers, cyclists and horse riders. Leave some time for shopping too, as duty free Guernsey offers some of the world’s best bargains.
