Normally when you think about people taking a cruise, you probably imaging them cruising somewhere warm like the Caribbean, enjoying cocktails on the beach or by the pool. The British Isles may not be a place you associate with cruising, but I’ve just disembarked a 12 night cruise that took us around England, Ireland, Scotland, The Channel Islands and France. When I booked this cruise I did wonder if we would really be able to properly explore Britain by cruise ship, after all you usually don’t get very long in each port and I knew we’d have a lot of extra travel to do to reach the main cities.
I didn’t know if I would find the ports interesting as I’m from England and I didn’t know if the great British weather would let us down. I set myself a challenge to visit 27 of Britains best sites and I wanted to see if the cruise would be cheaper than making the same trip on land. The cruise ended up being both better, and worse than I’d imagined pre cruise with plenty of unexpected events.
Thank you to @rupert.t.drone on Instagram for the fabulous Liverpool drone shots! :-)

Doughnuts are definitely breakfast food in the US! Most independent doughnut shops open at 5 or 6 am and won't be open into the later afternoon. It's very common to bring boxes of a dozen doughnuts to work or other events in the morning to share

I just this video about the Princess Cruises around the UK. It just so happens by wife, and I took the same cruise on September 18th of 2022 on the Emerald Princess for her birthday. It was our first cruise ever and it sold us on cruising. Your description of the cruise and ports was exactly what we experienced, and we had signed up for another cruise in the Caribbean before we left the ship, which turned out to be really good too. I really enjoy your commentaries and videos on cruising, you truly do a great job!

Honestly, I love a good graveyard. It tells you a lot about a place and they’re often very lovely with gorgeous landscaping and architecture. When I went to Finland and Sweden some of my favourite places I visited were the cemeteries. I even went to one in NYC and to go from this hustling busting built up metropolis to a rolling green landscape was a breath of fresh air.

I'm from Greenock! I'm glad you enjoyed my wee town, it was heavily hit by the decline of heavy industry and the resulting poverty and the area is finally seeing investment and regeneration again, it would be wonderful to see more passengers stay and spend local, there are some more worthwhile things to see and do in the area with just a short bus or taxi journey! I'm really saddened that Princess displayed a sign warning of drugs but only for the Greenock Port. Yes the area has seen issues with drugs but no more or less than any large town in the UK. I feel it paints the area in a really poor light :(

Hey Emma! Me and some family took this cruise in June/July of '23. It was the first time going to the UK for me and my daughters. We had the time of of our lives!! We decided to go into Wales from Liverpool and it was one of my favorite stops. I was able to meet a Facebook friend in Glasgow and one of my daughters met her Instagram friend in Dublin. We disembarked in Lehavre and went into Paris for 3 days. We were a bit nervous because there had been a young man who had been killed by Police and there was a bit of rioting, but thank goodness things had settled when we arrived. We also got an amazing deal that included our airfare from the US. The only downside was there wasnt that many days at sea. We were trying to fit so much in a nearly 2 week period that we were exhausted and would barely make it through dinner. We are like you that we try to do everything as cheap as we can(including packing lunch baggies and bringing ham croissants when we went on land)😂 I would love to do this trip again. There were many things we missed because of time. It was so nice watching your video and reminiscing about our trip to The Beautiful British Isles.....and Paris😂

Greenock was awarded the most deprived town in Scotland according to government statistics a couple of years ago. The drugs warning was likely in recognition of that fact that its about the only 'business' doing well here. Taking a bus to Largs for a couple of hours would be a better shout, if you don't want to go straight to Glasgow. As someone who has lived in Greenock all my life, I can say with certainty, its not good for tourism. But its good that you saw all the spots I've grown up with. Watching that section made me feel a strange mixture of pride & sadness knowing that was about the only decent things you could see here. I live close to the Cemetery you were talking about, in the day its serene and perfect for walks. At night its utterly pitch black because there are 0 lights within its forested interior. Quite scary.

Interesting for me as I disembarked the day you embarked on Emerald Princess . However on my cruise around the British Isles with a slightly different itinerary, I caught Covid after Cobh and was put in a quarentine cabin . The day after the Captain advised all passengers to wear a mask on board unless eating or drinking . So my cruise experience was somewhat different and the weather was chilly from Belfast onwards until the last two days , one at sea and the other in Le Havre. Cannot fault the care and service from Princess staff . Outstanding. Room service including those lovely chewy cookies .

It is one of my favorite cities. I skipped La Harve. The Excursions were horribly expensive for a day on a bus and an hour in Paris. Not worth it.

As an Irish person I am glad you enjoyed your time here and took the time to add relevant comments on names etc. However we will have to disagree on the whole "british isles" term. That's a britism and is not accepted or recognised here. Would you be happy if you lived in the Celtic Isles? A more neutral term is the Islands of Britain and Ireland. However getting anyone from the Britian part of that to accept even that is difficult lol. Anyway clear sailing and looking forward to seeing your future travels.

I'd be chuffed indeed to visit Le Havre on the last day - find the nearest hypermarche and stock up on French goodies! Maybe that's just me. The Trawlermen were fantastic on our Ventura cruise in July, never would have expected to see a folk based act on board but stoked there was. So glad you got to see them!

Thanks for a very informative video. We visited Le Havre on a transatlantic cruise from NYC to Southampton a couple of years ago. We loved it! Many of the buildings, like the Volcan cultural centre, were designed by the Brasilian architect Oscar Niemeyer (who also designed Brasilia and the UN building in NYC). For any fan of postwar architecture, Le Havre is a great place to walk around. The Andre Malraux art museum is also lovely and worth visiting. We had such a great day in Le Havre and, like you, we didn't even consider going to Paris.

I did the cruise after which was very similar but with extra ports 11 ports in 14 days. A lot of tender ports, as I had already been to some ports so didn't bother. OK in the South and very wet in the north. Loved the Emerald Princess but the onboard wifi billed as fastest at sea is very slow. I found the food very American, but still really good. Sky Princess next year to Canada, keep cruising
