ITINERARY DAY 1 Thursday 31 July Harwich Join the Ocean Majesty in time for our 1630 sailing. DAY 2 Newcastle Those who joined us in Harwich will enjoy a day in Newcastle perhaps take a stroll around Grainger Town, the historic centre; visit the Quayside and see the award-winning Gateshead Millennium Bridge; relax in one of the citys many beautiful parks; and dont forget a spot of shopping in the Metro Centre, the largest shopping centre in Europe. Passengers from the north will be joining the Ocean Majesty today in good time for our 1600 departure. DAY 3 Invergordon Situated on Scotlands rugged east coast, this charming port is our gateway to the magnificent Highlands. In the town itself take a stroll through Natal Park, a favourite amongst locals and visitors alike; or visit the Naval Museum, with its fascinating collection of local artefacts. Shore excursions will take you further afield: take in some of Britains most stunning scenery in the Scottish Highlands; visit Inverness, where you will be able to shop for those famous Highland tartans, knitwear and jewellery; and, dont forget, Loch Ness, with the ruins of Urquhart Castle on its shores be sure to keep an eye out for Nessie! DAY 4 Kirkwall Capital of the Orkney Islands, Kirkwall is dominated by the magnificent mediaeval St Magnus Cathedral, built with locally quarried red and yellow sandstone. Whilst here you can choose to visit a wide range of attractions, including Scapa Flow; the Loch of Harray; the Standing Stones of Stenness; or the prehistoric village of Skara Brae. There is also the option to visit Skaill House, the finest mansion in Orkney; and the Ring of Brodgar, a 5,000 year-old great henge monument superbly sited on the Ness of Brodgar. DAY 5 Oban Set on the west coast of the Scottish Highlands, Oban is a delight to explore. The port gives the town its life as ferries chug out of the harbour bound for the Inner and Outer Hebrides. Its most famous monument is what appears to be a replica of Romes Colosseum. Built at the turn of the 20th century, McCaigs Folly was never finished, but its granite arches still lend a touch of whimsy to this attractive Victorian port. Shore excursion opportunities include the breathtaking Scottish Highlands visiting Loch Linnhe; a leisurely drive through tranquil countryside to Seil Island; and a visit to the 18th century Inveraray Castle, the ancestral home of the Duke of Argyll, and one of the earliest examples of Gothic revival in Britain. DAY 6 Belfast Set between the sea and the rolling hills, Belfast welcomes its visitors with an air of excitement. Highlights include the City Hall, dominating the centre and built of Portland stone in Classical Renaissance style; Queens University; the Botanic Gardens; and the fascinating Ulster Museum.
