Begin with a 20-day discovery of the UK and Ireland, from lively Dublin and the wild Ring of Kerry to Belfast, the home of the Titanic Museum, and into the Highlands of Scotland, including Loch Ness and Edinburgh. Continue on to Shakespeare’s birthplace, Stonehenge and the heart of London. Then take an included flight to Paris for an 11-day cruise along the Seine, tracing Normandy’s rich heritage and traditions. Explore the sombre legacy of WWI at the Somme Battlefield, visit the home of the impressionist art movement as you feel inspired by the house and garden of Monet and uncover the legendary tale of French heroine Joan of Arc. Balance out the history with meanders through storybook villages, sampling delicious French fare from cheese to calvados, and enjoy a final fling with Paris before returning home. Luxury accommodation, included transfers and a Scenic Tour Director make for seamless travel.
