From the English Channel to the Irish Sea

PONANT invites you on a cruise from Normandy to the British shores via mythical Cornwall and the Irish coast. This 9-day interlude will take you to the heart of lush green countryside, authentic ports, and historic cities. From the charming port of the Norman city of Honfleur, L’Austral will set a course northward, in the mythical waters of the English Channel, to reach the Isle of Portland. Succumb to the charms of this limestone-rich island covered in lush vegetation. Here, serenity and a gentle way of life reign. Next, you will sail to legendary Cornwall. In Fowey, you will marvel at Mother Nature’s masterpieces. There, you will discover a spellbinding environment of majestic cliffs and vast natural spaces, conducive to escape and tranquillity. Your ship will then sail towards the Isles of Scilly, a strange little archipelago whose landscapes seem to have come straight out of Enid Blyton's famous story, The Rockingdown Mystery. Here, long sandy beaches lie alongside green fields, while ruins of old castles stand proud on hilltops. L'Austral will leave England for Ireland, where you will discover the charming Kinsale Harbour, at the estuary of the River Bandon. Back in England, you will call at Fishguard. This small coastal town, sitting between two hills, was once a Viking trading post. After calling at Warrenpoint, a charming small town nestling in an exceptional natural environment, you will reach Portrush. From here, you will have the possibility of visiting the legendary Giant’s Causeway, a gigantic geological formation listed with UNESCO. For its grand finale, this trip draws to an end in Glasgow, Scotland’s biggest city, known for its convivial and authentic atmosphere.
