It’s the UK’s first designated UNESCO City of Design and now has the first design museum outside of London. The new V&A Museum Of Design is housed in a world-class building at the heart of the newly transformed waterfront. Visit and learn the story of Scotland's outstanding design heritage. ### Day 6: Aberdeen, Scotland **Arrives:** 07:30 AM · **Departs:** 10:00 PM Where the rivers Dee and Don meet the North Sea, you’ll find the harbor city of Aberdeen. Remote and northerly, Scotland’s third largest city is a surprising gem with distinctive architecture and a cosmopolitan feel. Encompassing a veritable wonderland of urban delights and pastoral pursuits, Aberdeen stands apart from other Scottish cities. You won’t hear Gaelic around these parts, as this bright sunny port more closely resembles a typical English city. ### Day 7: Invergordon **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 08:00 PM Take a superb natural setting of mountains, tumbling waterfalls, rushing rivers, and serene lochs (and add one sea monster); pepper the landscape with amazing castles (such as Cawdor, setting for Shakespeare’s Macbeth); plant a crop of magnificent gardens; incorporate a pretty village or two (surely Beauly, with its lovely flower displays and 13th century ruined priory); toss in a trail of whiskey distilleries, and there you have it: the Scottish Highlands, shrouded in myth and folklore, and a... ### Day 8: Kirkwall **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM The 70 islands of Orkney are low lying, a pleasing, gently rolling panorama of fertile fields, heather cloaked moors, and lakes. The red sandstone walls of the imposing St. Magnus Cathedral dominate Kirkwall, the main town, capital, and hub for roads linking east and west. In summer whales and dolphins sport in coastal waters, and tens of thousands of breeding seabirds congregate on sharp seaside cliffs. The early arrival of mankind on this scene can be investigated at Skara Brae, an amazingly w... ### Day 9: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 10: Greenock, Scotland **Arrives:** 07:30 AM · **Departs:** 09:00 PM Greenock is a town and administrative centre in the Inverclyde council area in Scotland and a former burgh within the historic county of Renfrewshire, located in the west central Lowlands of Scotland. It forms part of a contiguous urban area with Gourock to the west and Port Glasgow to the east. ### Day 11: Douglas, Isle Of Man **Arrives:** 08:30 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM The tiny Isle of Man has quite a lot to offer for its size. Douglas’ lovely sea front is lined with picturesque hotels and restaurants, and can be traversed by horse-drawn trams as it has been since 1876. There’s a medieval fortress in Castletown; a ruined castle on the Isle of St. Patrick where tales of Vikings, monks, and a ghost dog abound; and the village of Cregneash, where people live in thatched cottages, speak the native Manx language, and practice traditional trades and crafts. Fron... ### Day 12: Dublin **Arrives:** 06:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM Dublin offers a wealth of historic sites dating back to a 1000-year-old Viking village, and as one might expect of the Irish, there is a tale to be told about every one. St. Patrick’s Cathedral is said to have been erected on the site where the saint himself converted pagans in 450 AD. From Dublin Castle the crown jewels were stolen in 1907; an unsolved mystery left to the fictional Sherlock Holmes to decipher. Some pubs, great sources of stories, are almost as old – you can sample a Guinnes... ## Pricing Prices shown are per person based on double occupancy in USD. | Cabin Type | Starting Price | |------------|----------------| | Inside | $5,569 | | Ocean View | $6,029 | | Balcony | $7,099 | ## Cabin Options ### Inside Cabins **Interior Stateroom - Guaranteed** (Code: Z) Interior Stateroom - Guaranteed ### Outside Cabins **Oceanview Stateroom - Guaranteed** (Code: Y) Oceanview Stateroom - Guaranteed **Club Oceanview Stateroom** (Code: 05) Completely refurbished with fresh contemporary décor in 2016 Two lower beds convertible to one Queen size bed Some staterooms feature sofa bed 40” flat-screen TV Mini-bar Thermostat-controlled air conditioner Direct-dial telephone with voice mail Writing desk In-room safe Hand-held hairdryer USB por... **Club Oceanview Stateroom** (Code: 06) Completely refurbished with fresh contemporary décor in 2016 Two lower beds convertible to one Queen size bed Some staterooms feature sofa bed 40” flat-screen TV Mini-bar Thermostat-controlled air conditioner Direct-dial telephone with voice mail Writing desk In-room safe Hand-held hairdryer USB por... **Club Oceanview Stateroom** (Code: 04) Completely refurbished with fresh contemporary décor in 2016 Two lower beds convertible to one Queen size bed Some staterooms feature sofa bed 40” flat-screen TV Mini-bar Thermostat-controlled air conditioner Direct-dial telephone with voice mail Writing desk In-room safe Hand-held hairdryer USB por... **Club Oceanview Stateroom (Obstructed View)** (Code: 08) Features: Completely refurbished with fresh contemporary décor in 2016 Two lower beds convertible to one Queen size bed Some staterooms feature sofa bed 40” flat-screen TV Refrigerator with mini-bar Thermostat-controlled air conditioner Direct-dial telephone with voice mail Writing desk In-room saf... ### Balcony Cabins **Club Veranda Plus Stateroom - Guaranteed** (Code: XP) Stateroom Features Veranda Two lower beds convertible to one Queen size bed Sitting area with 40” flat-screen TV Mini-bar Thermostat-controlled air conditioner Direct-dial telephone with voice mail Writing desk In-room safe Hand-held hairdryer USB ports under bedside reading lamps Stateroom: 175 sq.... **Club Veranda Stateroom - Guaranteed** (Code: X) Two lower beds convertible to queen size.
