One lucky Coast reader will win the chance to explore the UK, with incredible experiences awaiting both onboard and ashore.
What’s on your holiday wish list? We bet stress-free is at the top, along with feeling totally spoilt. Maybe you want to combine adventure with familiarity. Perhaps you yearn to visit new places (provided you can do it in luxury, of course!). Good food is always on the list, so you’ll probably look to transport your taste buds and devour regional cuisine with local ingredients.
The thrill of visiting multiple destinations in a single holiday and only unpacking once sounds amazing, right? Especially when someone else organises it all for you. And above all, you want maximum value from your holiday.
The good news is that all of this comes as standard on a Princess cruise. Here are five main reasons to sail around the British Isles with Princess Cruises:
- Stress-free sailing from Southampton
Eliminate the need for flights which not only saves money, but also makes the start of your holiday hassle free. Boarding in Southampton also means you can pack as much as you like as you are not restricted by baggage allowances. So, you can pack that thick coat and extra pair of shoes!
- Value you’ll love
A cruise with Princess is exceptional value, and we make every guest feel special. Make sure you know exactly how much your holiday will cost, before you even leave home. All-inclusive packages start from an extra £50pp per day and include a Plus Beverage Package, wi-fi, crew appreciation, premium desserts, fitness classes and more.
- 5,000 years of history
Go in search of Medieval secrets in Dublin’s 13th century halls at the city’s fortress. Discover exciting tales of times gone by at Edinburgh Castle. Hunt for Nessie at Loch Ness, see Portland’s 5,000-year-old stone circle, and walk on 50-million-year-old lava at the Giant’s Causeway. Stroll along Royal Albert Dock in Liverpool, shop in Princes Street in Edinburgh, travel to Brú na Bóinne in Dublin, or see the prehistoric monument of Stonehenge.
- Diverse dining
Prized wines, whiskies, beers and gin and Michelin-starred restaurants offer immersive dining experiences around every corner. Try Irish Stew and potato bread farl in Belfast. Scotland’s national dish is haggis, and if you’re in Cornwall, Stargazy Pie is a must. If cheese is your squeeze, then Welsh Rarebit will ensure you get your fix. Follow in the footsteps of Vikings with some salty laverbread, or, in true English style, feast on sweet and creamy Eton Mess. Yum!
- The great outdoors
See everything from moors and mountains to craggy coastlines. In the UK we have 15 national parks, 34 AONB, and over 11,000 miles of coastline to explore – although there is much debate over the length as it depends how you measure it. If you want to feel the ocean lap over your toes, there are around 1,500 beaches to devote your time to. Explore the beauty of the British Isles on two wheels with hundreds of tracks and trails to embrace. Get off the beaten track on a jaw-dropping walk and appreciate the slower pace of life. Or find solace in one of the many stately homes or secret gardens.
