For more than 2,000 years, the Celts inhabited the rugged margins of northwestern Europe. From their remote homelands in Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England and Brittany they exerted a powerful influence on Europe—an influence far out of proportion to their numbers. In their role as missionaries and scholars, they kept alight the flames of faith and knowledge during the Middle Ages; as explorers and immigrants they journeyed to the far reaches of the globe spreading and perpetuating their unique culture; and as artists and poets, they captured visions and preserved them for generations to come.

Cruise with us for ten nights aboard the chartered, deluxe M.S. L E DIAMANT on a remarkable voyage of discovery. From the ancient Irish capital of Dublin and the misty, legend-haunted islands and Highlands of Scotland, cruise through the dark blue waters of the Celtic and Irish Seas and along the verdant shores of southern England and northern France. During the course of your journey, immerse yourself in the stark beauty and solitude of Scotland’s Orkney Islands and , discover exquisite gardens and imposing medieval castles in Wales, marvel at the soaring grace of Brittany’s Mont-St-Michel, and walk along the hallowed Beaches of Normandy 65 years after Allied forces made their historic D-Day landings.

Our unique itinerary allows you to experience the living heritage of the Celtic people on exclusive guided tours. Explore the scenic coasts of France and the British Isles and call at ports accessible only to small ships. Participants are afforded a carefully designed and leisurely paced travel program, plus the opportunities to complement the cruise with an optional two-night Pre-Program in Dublin, Ireland, and/or a two-night Post-Program in Paris, France.

Join us for this cruise through the historic Celtic heartland. This program has sold out quickly every year and the M.S. L E DIAMANT ’s capacity is limited. We encourage you to place your reservations today.

Sincerely,
