The remainder of the day and meals are on your own, after which you will overnight at the hotel.

DAY 2

London is a city that inspires and amazes! A capital that basks in its rich history where around every corner there is something new, yet something very familiar. We take you on a tour of this majestic city, fully guided by a London expert.

Your day begins in a Royal Palace after breakfast at your hotel and a short drive outside the city.

On the banks of the River Thames, Hampton Court Palace started life in 1515 as a magnificent brick stately home for Cardinal Thomas Wolsey. Seized by Henry VIII at Wolsey's downfall, the Palace was enlarged and became home for Henry and wife number two, Anne Boleyn.

Explore with a Hampton Court guide the Tudor bedrooms, oak panelled corridors, and extensive Royal kitchens. Visit the magnificent chapel and banqueting hall. See how the Palace received a makeover by Sir Christopher Wren during the late 17th century reign of William and Mary. Enjoy the works of art from the Royal Collection on display throughout the building and take time to stroll around the grounds, admiring the fountains and getting yourself lost in the famous Hampton Court maze!

Return to the city for a superb 2-course lunch in a top London restaurant to enjoy a ‘Taste of Britain’ menu followed by a cruise on the river Thames. Enjoy a glass of champagne as you pass by the iconic Tower Bridge, St Paul's Cathedral, and the Palace of Westminster.

In the afternoon enjoy a guided panoramic tour of the city, starting from Parliament and Westminster Abbey, peer along Downing Street, home of the British Prime Minister, circle around Trafalgar Square, see vibrant Piccadilly Circus and the opulent Albert Memorial and view the city's famous museums such as the Victoria and Albert and the Science Museum. Head into Knightsbridge to drive by Harrods and then take a short walk for a photo stop outside Buckingham Palace before returning to your hotel at the end of this entertaining and rewarding day.

Please note: Parts of the itinerary may be reversed depending on local traffic conditions.

Upon returning to your hotel, the evening is at spent at your leisure, dinner is on your own.

DAY 3

After breakfast at your hotel, begin the day with a journey to England's West Country, to the elegant city of Bath, famed for its therapeutic hot springs, a long and varied Roman history plus the beautiful terraces, crescents and circuses of the 18th Century that adorn the residential area of the city.

Bath's foundations go back to Celtic times when the springs were first discovered, and the healing properties realized. Enjoying the warm waters, the Roman invaders soon arrived in the first century and called this place Aquae Sulis turning it into one of the most important religious centers and military settlements in the northern part of the empire.

Through the Saxon era and the Mediaeval period up to the city's new foundation as a resort for Georgian aristocrats, making the three-day journey from the capital, the wealthy elite would take the waters to cure themselves of rheumatic diseases, stiffness of the joints and gout.

On arrival in Bath there will be a guided tour where you will walk along the original Roman pavement, before entering the Roman Baths to see the hot baths and remains of the temple of Sulis Minerva.

Next, take a drive though the delightful rolling hills and meandering streams of the Cotswolds, to honey-coloured stone villages down narrow country lanes. Time seems to have been given very little chance to march forward around these parts. Cottages of 17th century weavers’ homes stand next to chuckling streams, gentle rolling green hills and hidden valleys that stretch across these limestone uplands. With an expert guide on board your coach you will set about exploring this area and meander through this wonderful landscape.

Visit Burford where the old weavers’ houses cascade down to the valley of the river Windrush below and see Stow on the Wold with its ancient marketplace and hilltop views. Enjoy a hearty pub lunch in an old English hostelry during your journey around the Cotswold Hills as well as photo stops and guided walks in each of the villages you call into.

Please note: Parts of the itinerary may be reversed depending on local traffic conditions.

Back in London at your hotel, the remainder of the evening is at your leisure and dinner is on your own.

DAY 4

After breakfast and check out, begin your journey to the ship via one of the wonders of the world and the best-known prehistoric monument in Europe ‘Stonehenge’.

DAY 2

London is a city that inspires and amazes! A capital that basks is in its rich history and where around every corner there is something new, yet something very familiar. Today you will have a tour of this majestic city, fully guided by a London expert.

Begin with a visit to Borough Market. This isn’t just the most exciting locale on the British food scene—it’s also the beating heart of Southwark, a gastronomic hotspot in its own right for more than a millennium. Your visit here will show you just how fascinating and diverse British food can be as you meet the proud locals making it all happen. You’ll follow the most delicious route possible through a corner of the city that’s always had food at its heart.

The tour continues with an opportunity to take in some of London’s most iconic landmarks. Peer along Downing Street, home of the British Prime Minister, circle around Trafalgar Square, see vibrant Piccadilly Circus and then take a short walk for a photo stop outside Buckingham Palace.

The tour ends with a quintessentially British Afternoon Tea. Afternoon Tea was introduced to Britain in the early 1840s and has been enjoyed by many ever since. Whilst the concept is simple, when expertly executed the memories are remembered longer than the food itself. Enjoy a fine selection of sandwiches and sweet treats accompanied by a range of traditional teas before ending the tour back at the hotel.

The remainder of the day is at your leisure and dinner is on your own.

DAY 3

Studded with lush countryside greenery, rolling hills, beautiful towns, exquisite vineyards and delicious food, Kent is the oldest county in England and known, quite rightly, as The Garden of England.

After breakfast, meet your guide and enjoy a drive into the heart of the region, through fields of market produce, tomatoes, onions, orchards of apples and the ever-present hop fields. Pause in the delightful village of Chilham, with its timber framed cottages huddled below the stately Manor House at the head of the old square.

Visit the church and see the ancient Yew tree which took root way back in 690AD.

Pause for lunch in a traditional Kent pub before continuing to an award winning vineyard. Learn the processes and methods to transform fruit into great wines along with a guided tasting tour, all while taking in the stunning views. Here the visit ends and you will begin the journey back to London.

Back in London the remainder of the day is at your leisure and dinner is on your own.

DAY 4

After breakfast, enjoy a leisurely morning followed by a visit to the world famous West End. Home to 40 theatres all showcasing the most talented actors, actresses, directors, and designers in the world. The oldest, Theatre Royal Drury Lane, was founded in 1663, however, most of the buildings are from the Victorian era and have been carefully refurbished to keep them in use.

From Les Misérables to Kinky Boots, Disney’s The Lion King to Wicked, London’s West End has some of the biggest and most diverse professional shows in history. Along with New York City's Broadway theatre, West End theatre represents the highest level of commercial theatre in the world. Memorable music, heartfelt plots, relatable characters and sensational performances – all add up to an incredible, unmissable experience.

Today you will enjoy a wonderful matinee performance in London’s West End (exact show to be advised within 21 days of sailing) and then embark on an incredible culinary adventure. Seats will be located in the Stalls (ground floor).

With your taste buds satisfied, the evening ends and you will return to your hotel. (Note: beverages are not included with the meal – guests may purchase their preference).

DAY 3

After breakfast at the hotel, meet your guide for a half-day sightseeing tour in Plymouth.

Your first visit is to the Black Friars Distillery, the working home of Plymouth Gin since 1793. This is the oldest working gin distillery in England and is situated in the heart of the historic port city of Plymouth. The building dates back to the early 1400s with the oldest part of the building – the Refectory, a medieval hall with a fine hull-shaped timber roof, dating back to 1431 – the ultimate place to enjoy a cocktail and where the Pilgrims are said to have spent their last night before setting sail in the Mayflower to the New World in 1620.

Take a guided tour and learn about the art of making the world-famous Plymouth Gin and enjoy a tutored tasting of the range.

After lunch at the Barbican Kitchen drive to Saltram where you can enjoy the house and garden at your own pace. Located on the outskirts of Plymouth, Saltram offers a tranquil escape with its rolling parkland and scenic views of the River Plym. A walk along the riverside or through the woodland makes it easy to forget the city is just nearby.

The estate was home to the Parker family from 1743, when they transformed an earlier mansion to reflect their rising status. The house boasts stunning interiors, original furnishings, intricate Chinese wallpapers, and an impressive art collection featuring works by Sir Joshua Reynolds. Highlights include a grand country house library and Robert Adam’s elegant Neo-classical Saloon.

The garden, primarily designed in the 19th century, features an 18th-century working orangery, decorative follies, lush tropical plants, and remarkable specimen trees, ensuring beauty throughout the year.

Return to your hotel where the remainder of the day is at your leisure and dinner is on your own.

DAY 4

Today, after breakfast, you will visit the amazing Eden Project. Once a former clay mine with no soil or plants, this ambitious project transformed a huge crater into a beautiful world renown global garden, which sets the stage for an extraordinary day out.

Here you will rediscover the natural world as you've never experienced it before. Explore the massive, covered Biomes - walk through one of the world’s largest indoor rainforests, immerse yourself in the calm fragrance of the Mediterranean Biome and enjoy the extensive outdoor gardens. Discover places to rest, play and eat, and pick up inspiring ideas to take home on how to care for the planet that cares for you. You will have time for lunch on your own here.

Next, depart for Knightor, a working winery and old farmstead above St Austell Bay. Here you will have an exclusive opportunity to taste local British wines and learn about production and serving insights.

DAY 5

After breakfast at the hotel, check out and start your drive to Exeter. Exeter is an ancient city on the River Exe in southwest England. Dating back to the Roman era, the Exeter City Walls surround its center and Gothic Exeter Cathedral.

Today you will visit Exeter Cathedral. The Cathedral is a working church, in the Anglican tradition, and a place with a centuries-old pattern of daily worship. A world-class heritage destination, Exeter Cathedral has been at the heart of Devon for nearly a thousand years. Now, as then, it offers a refuge for reflection, a place for prayer, and a stage for artists, performers and musicians. It has witnessed a fascinating history and remains home to a living faith, a place for learning and a retreat for relaxation. Exeter Cathedral is, at once, a center of innovation and of ancient treasures, telling stories of the past while carefully conserving them for the future.

Exeter Cathedral has the longest unbroken stretch of Gothic stone vaulting in the world. Other features of particular interest include the Bishop's Throne, one of the finest pieces of woodwork of the late 14th century and there is original glass in the East Window.

Finally, arrive at the cruise port for embarkation. As you leave, take with you the memories of Britain’s Devon and Cornwall counties, their spectacular coastline and wonderful landscapes, unique Cornish culture and warm hospitality.

Visit Lacock Abbey which was founded in the early 13th century by Ela, Countess of Salisbury, as a nunnery of the Augustinian order. The abbey has been used as a backdrop for many films and TV dramas, including Harry Potter, Pride and Prejudice and Downton Abbey. The timeless nature of the architecture makes Lacock Abbey the perfect location.

Your first visit is to the Black Friars Distillery, the working home of Plymouth Gin since 1793. This is the oldest working gin distillery in England and is situated in the heart of the historic port city of Plymouth. The building dates back to the early 1400s with the oldest part of the building – the Refectory, a medieval hall with a fine hull-shaped timber roof, dating back to 1431 – the ultimate place to enjoy a cocktail and where the Pilgrims are said to have spent their last night before setting sail in the Mayflower to the New World in 1620.

Take a guided tour and learn about the art of making the world-famous Plymouth Gin and enjoy a tutored tasting of the range.

After lunch at the Barbican Kitchen drive to Saltram where you can enjoy the house and garden at your own pace. Located on the outskirts of Plymouth, Saltram offers a tranquil escape with its rolling parkland and scenic views of the River Plym. A walk along the riverside or through the woodland makes it easy to forget the city is just nearby.

The estate was home to the Parker family from 1743, when they transformed an earlier mansion to reflect their rising status. The house boasts stunning interiors, original furnishings, intricate Chinese wallpapers, and an impressive art collection featuring works by Sir Joshua Reynolds. Highlights include a grand country house library and Robert Adam’s elegant Neo-classical Saloon.

The garden, primarily designed in the 19th century, features an 18th-century working orangery, decorative follies, lush tropical plants, and remarkable specimen trees, ensuring beauty throughout the year.

Return to your hotel where the remainder of the day is at your leisure and dinner is on your own.

DAY 4

Today, after breakfast, you will visit the amazing Eden Project. Once a former clay mine with no soil or plants, this ambitious project transformed a huge crater into a beautiful world renown global garden, which sets the stage for an extraordinary day out.

Here you will rediscover the natural world as you've never experienced it before. Explore the massive, covered Biomes - walk through one of the world’s largest indoor rainforests, immerse yourself in the calm fragrance of the Mediterranean Biome and enjoy the extensive outdoor gardens. Discover places to rest, play and eat, and pick up inspiring ideas to take home on how to care for the planet that cares for you. You will have time for lunch on your own here.

Next, depart for Knightor, a working winery and old farmstead above St Austell Bay. Here you will have an exclusive opportunity to taste local British wines and learn about production and serving insights.

You will also visit Charlestown and explore the traditional Cornish fishing port. Once a thriving working port, constructed to export copper and China clay, Charlestown's principal industry is now as a film set and to welcome visitors who want to follow in the footsteps of sailors from the past. Beautifully preserved, the pretty pastel fishermen's cottages line the harbor, with a nice range of places to eat, drink and shop dotted around as well.

DAY 2

London is a city that inspires and amazes! A capital that basks in its rich history where around every corner there is something new, yet something very familiar. We take you on a tour of this majestic city, fully guided by a London expert.

Start this day of discovery with an exclusive private tour of the Crown Jewels within the historic Tower of London.

You'll be met by one of the guardians of this royal fortress upon arrival - a magnificently dressed Yeoman Warder, or 'Beefeater' who will show you symbols of over 800 years of monarchy. Marvel at the Imperial State Crown and gaze in wonder at the Cullinan diamond, the largest clear-cut diamond in the world. An amazing collection of intricate jewellery and precious metals which are still in use today for coronations and special events.

There is plenty of time to explore the rest of this ancient fortress, see the site of executions at the scaffold, visit the Beauchamp Tower adorned with the graffiti of prisoners over 500 years ago. Climb the thousand-year-old White Tower and learn the gruesome history of the Bloody Tower.

This is followed by a 2-course lunch in a top London restaurant to enjoy a ‘Taste of Britain’ menu followed by a champagne cruise on the River Thames as you pass by the iconic Tower Bridge, St Paul's Cathedral and the Palace of Westminster.

In the afternoon enjoy a guided panoramic tour of the city, starting from Parliament and Westminster Abbey, peer along Downing Street, home of the British Prime Minister, circle around Trafalgar Square, see vibrant Piccadilly Circus and the opulent Albert Memorial and view the city's famous museums such as the Victoria and Albert and the Science Museum. Head into Knightsbridge to drive by Harrods and then take a short walk for a photo stop outside Buckingham Palace before returning to your hotel at the end of this entertaining and rewarding day.

Please note: Parts of the itinerary may be reversed depending on local traffic conditions.

Upon returning to your hotel, the evening is at spent at your leisure, dinner is on your own.

DAY 3

Travel to a surprisingly unique and deeply fascinating corner of Britain, the beautiful county of Kent, with its lush green landscape, bountiful orchards, fruit markets and bustling vegetable farms it is known, quite rightly, as The Garden of England.

But Kent is not just a collection of charming villages and narrow country lanes, its proximity to the continent has made it both a rewarding and dangerous place to be. Whether it be Roman or Norman invaders, the arrival of Christianity through St Augustine, or French Huguenot refugees escaping persecution, the county of Kent has seen it all.

More recently, though, it was in the firing line from Luftwaffe during World War Two, specifically the Battle of Britain in 1940. The sky over the county echoed to the sound of dogfights between the Royal Air Force and the enemy.

Enjoy a drive into the heart of the region, through fields of market produce, tomatoes, onions, orchards of apples and the ever-present hop fields. We pause in the delightful village of Chilham. With its timber framed cottages huddled below the stately Manor House at the head of the old square. Visit the church and see the ancient Yew tree which took root way back in 690AD.

Pay a visit to the Battle of Britain memorial that overlooks the famous White Cliffs of the South Coast. From here, as we look out to the French coast, we make the short journey to Dover Castle, the largest castle in England. Visit the 2,000-year-old Roman lighthouse, Henry II's magnificent 12th century stone keep and explore the extensive range of tunnels dating from the Napoleonic Wars and World War Two.

The next stop is the award winning Gusbourne Vineyard. As a founding member of Sustainable Wines of Great Britain, Gusbourne carries an accreditation that reflects the most exacting environmental standards. The visit begins with a glass of sparkling wine on arrival followed by an exclusive vineyard tour. Learn the processes and methods to transform fruit into great wines, all while taking in the stunning views. The tour concludes with a 2- course, locally sourced lunch and tutored wine tasting.

Once the visit ends, begin the journey back to London where the remainder of the evening is at your leisure and dinner is on your own.

DAY 4

After breakfast and check out, begin your journey to the ship via one of the wonders of the world and the best-known prehistoric monument in Europe ‘Stonehenge’. Entry to the site is included but the tour is self-guided.

Please meet in the lobby 15-minutes prior to departure, having settled any incidentals, where you will be met by a representative who will accompany you on the drive. Once at the port you will embark the ship.

The Palace is known to house some of the finest collections of antique furniture in Europe. This sprawling palace has 187 rooms and is set within a large park which includes one hundred and fifty acres of award winning Formal Gardens.

You will have time to explore the park and the gardens which surround the Palace.

DAY 4

After breakfast at the hotel, check out and meet your guide for a tour to explore the highlights of Winchester.

You first stop is at Winchester Cathedral which draws many tourists as a result of its association with Jane Austen, who died in Winchester on July 18, 1817. Her funeral was held in the cathedral, and she was buried in the north aisle.

Next visit The Great Hall and Westgate Museum. Built by William the Conqueror, Winchester Castle was once the seat of power for medieval monarchs – a stronghold of history and legacy. Though much of the original structure has been lost to time, two remarkable survivors remain: The Great Hall, one of the finest medieval halls in England, and the imposing Westgate, which once served as the castle’s primary defense.

Step inside the legendary Great Hall and marvel at its soaring arches, rich history and the iconic Round Table, linked to King Arthur’s legend in popular fiction, and walk through the formidable Westgate, where echoes of centuries past still linger in the stone.

Enjoy lunch and then check in to your centrally located four-star hotel, the Winchester Royal Hotel. Although comfortable, and one of the best hotels in Winchester, it is not considered a luxury property. The remainder of the day is at your leisure with dinner on your own.

DAY 5

After breakfast, check out and depart for a visit to Beaulieu. The land on which Beaulieu now stands was once a royal hunting lodge and the property of the Crown. There are over 800 years of heritage to be seen on the Beaulieu Estate, which has been in the ownership of the Montagu family for over four centuries.

Explore the ruins of the monastery at Beaulieu which was founded in 1204 by King John, and its Abbey Church dedicated to St. Mary in 1246. Most of the Abbey fell into ruins after the dissolution of the monasteries by King Henry VIII, but the domus, cloisters and refectory remain.

Continue to The National Motor Museum of Beaulieu which is one of five leading National Motor Museums across Europe who have joined forces to display over 1,500 classic cars for enthusiasts to admire. It has one of the finest collections of cars, motorcycles and motoring memorabilia in the world and today you will have a chance to see the vehicles collection from the earliest motor carriages to classic family saloons.

Your program ends as you transfer to the port of Southampton where you will embark the ship. As you depart, we’re sure you will take with you fond memories of Britain’s castles, its rich history, and warm hospitality.

DAY 2

London is a city that inspires and amazes! A capital that basks in its rich history where around every corner there is something new, yet something very familiar. We take you on a tour of this majestic city, fully guided by a London expert.

Your day begins in a Royal Palace after breakfast at your hotel and a short drive outside the city.

On the banks of the River Thames, Hampton Court Palace started life in 1515 as a magnificent brick stately home for Cardinal Thomas Wolsey. Seized by Henry VIII at Wolsey's downfall, the Palace was enlarged and became home for Henry and wife number two, Anne Boleyn.

Explore with a Hampton Court guide the Tudor bedrooms, oak panelled corridors and extensive Royal kitchens. Visit the magnificent chapel and banqueting hall. See how the Palace received a makeover by Sir Christopher Wren during the late 17th century reign of William and Mary. Enjoy the works of art from the Royal Collection on display throughout the building and take time to stroll around the grounds, admiring the fountains and getting yourself lost in the famous Hampton Court maze!

Return to the city for a superb 2-course lunch in a top London restaurant to enjoy a ‘Taste of Britain’ menu followed by a cruise on the River Thames. Sip a glass of Champagne as you pass by the iconic Tower Bridge, St Paul's Cathedral and the Palace of Westminster.

In the afternoon enjoy a guided panoramic tour of the city, starting from Parliament and Westminster Abbey, peer along Downing Street, home of the British Prime Minister, circle around Trafalgar Square, see vibrant Piccadilly Circus and the opulent Albert Memorial and view the city's famous museums such as the Victoria and Albert and the Science Museum. Head into Knightsbridge to drive by Harrods and then take a short walk for a photo stop outside Buckingham Palace before returning to your hotel at the end of this entertaining and rewarding day.

Please note: Parts of the itinerary may be reversed depending on local traffic conditions.

Upon returning to your hotel, the evening is at spent at your leisure, dinner is on your own.

DAY 3

After breakfast at your hotel, begin the day with a journey to England's West Country, to the elegant city of Bath, famed for its therapeutic hot springs, a long and varied Roman history plus the beautiful terraces, crescents and circuses of the 18th Century that adorn the residential area of the city.

Bath's foundations go back to Celtic times when the springs were first discovered, and the healing properties realized. Enjoying the warm waters, the Roman invaders soon arrived in the first century and called this place Aquae Sulis turning it into one of the most important religious centers and military settlements in the northern part of the empire.

Through the Saxon era and the Mediaeval period up to the city's new foundation as a resort for Georgian aristocrats, making the three-day journey from the capital, the wealthy elite would take the waters to cure themselves of rheumatic diseases, stiffness of the joints and gout.

On arrival in Bath there will be a guided tour where you will walk along the original Roman pavement, before entering the Roman Baths to see the hot baths and remains of the temple of Sulis Minerva.

Next, take a drive though the delightful rolling hills and meandering streams of the Cotswolds, to honey-coloured stone villages down narrow country lanes. Time seems to have been given very little chance to march forward around these parts. Cottages of 17th century weavers’ homes stand next to chuckling streams, gentle rolling green hills and hidden valleys that stretch across these limestone uplands. With an expert guide on board your coach you will set about exploring this area and meander through this wonderful landscape.

Visit Burford where the old weavers’ houses cascade down to the valley of the River Windrush below and see Stow on the Wold with its ancient marketplace and hilltop views. Enjoy a hearty pub lunch in an old English hostelry during your journey around the Cotswold Hills as well as photo stops and guided walks in each of the villages you call into.

Please note: Parts of the itinerary may be reversed depending on local traffic conditions.

Back in London at your hotel, the remainder of the evening is at your leisure and dinner is on your own.

DAY 4

After breakfast and check out, begin your journey to the ship via one of the wonders of the world and the best-known prehistoric monument in Europe ‘Stonehenge’.

Arrival at your hotel will be at approximately 3:00pm, in time for check in.

The remainder of the afternoon is at your leisure for independent exploration of the city. Lunch and dinner are on your own.

DAY 2

London is a city that inspires and amazes! A capital that basks in its rich history where around every corner there is something new, yet something very familiar. We take you on a tour of this majestic city, fully guided by a London expert.

Your day begins in a Royal Palace after breakfast at your hotel and a short drive outside the city.

On the banks of the River Thames, Hampton Court Palace started life in 1515 as a magnificent brick stately home for Cardinal Thomas Wolsey. Seized by Henry VIII at Wolsey's downfall, the Palace was enlarged and became home for Henry and wife number two, Anne Boleyn.

Explore with a Hampton Court guide the Tudor bedrooms, oak panelled corridors and extensive Royal kitchens. Visit the magnificent chapel and banqueting hall. See how the Palace received a makeover by Sir Christopher Wren during the late 17th century reign of William and Mary. Enjoy the works of art from the Royal Collection on display throughout the building and take time to stroll around the grounds, admiring the fountains and getting yourself lost in the famous Hampton Court maze!

Return to the city for a 2-course ‘Taste of Britain’ lunch followed by a cruise along the Thames River. Sip a glass of Champagne as you pass by the iconic Tower Bridge, St Paul's Cathedral and the Palace of Westminster.

In the afternoon enjoy a guided panoramic tour of the city, starting from Parliament and Westminster Abbey, peer along Downing Street, home of the British Prime Minister, circle around Trafalgar Square, see vibrant Piccadilly Circus and the opulent Albert Memorial and view the city's famous museums such as the Victoria and Albert and the Science Museum. Head into Knightsbridge to drive by Harrods and then take a short walk for a photo stop outside Buckingham Palace before returning to your hotel at the end of this entertaining and rewarding day.

Please note: Parts of the itinerary may be reversed depending on local traffic conditions.

Upon returning to your hotel, the evening is at spent at your leisure, dinner is on your own.

DAY 3

After breakfast at your hotel, begin the day with a journey to England's West Country, to the elegant city of Bath, famed for its therapeutic hot springs, a long and varied Roman history plus the beautiful terraces, crescents and circuses of the 18th Century that adorn the residential area of the city.

Bath's foundations go back to Celtic times when the springs were first discovered, and the healing properties realized. Enjoying the warm waters, the Roman invaders soon arrived in the first century and called this place Aquae Sulis turning it into one of the most important religious centers and military settlements in the northern part of the empire.

Through the Saxon era and the Mediaeval period up to the city's new foundation as a resort for Georgian aristocrats, making the three-day journey from the capital, the wealthy elite would take the waters to cure themselves of rheumatic diseases, stiffness of the joints and gout.

On arrival in Bath there will be a guided tour where you will walk along the original Roman pavement, before entering the Roman Baths to see the hot baths and remains of the temple of Sulis Minerva.

Next, take a drive though the delightful rolling hills and meandering streams of the Cotswolds, to honey-coloured stone villages down narrow country lanes. Time seems to have been given very little chance to march forward around these parts. Cottages of 17th century weavers’ homes stand next to chuckling streams, gentle rolling green hills and hidden valleys that stretch across these limestone uplands. With an expert guide on board your coach you will set about exploring this area and meander through this wonderful landscape.

Visit Burford where the old weavers’ houses cascade down to the valley of the River Windrush below and see Stow on the Wold with its ancient marketplace and hilltop views. Enjoy a hearty pub lunch in an old English hostelry during your journey around the Cotswold Hills as well as photo stops and guided walks in each of the villages you call into.

Please note: Parts of the itinerary may be reversed depending on local traffic conditions.

Back in London at your hotel, the remainder of the evening is at your leisure and dinner is on your own.

DAY 4

After breakfast, the morning is free for independent sight-seeing or perhaps a spot of last-minute shopping in some of London’s famous stores.

Room check-out is at 12:00pm, however arrangements can be made for the hotel to securely store your luggage should you need longer. Late check can also be arranged, but this may incur additional charges depending on the length of time required. Late check out can only be booked at the hotel while you are there.

DAY 1

After disembarking your ship in Southampton, meet your guide and depart on a tour to discover some of Britain’s highlights.

Your first stop is for a visit to Beaulieu. The land on which Beaulieu now stands was once a royal hunting lodge and the property of the Crown. There are over 800 years of heritage to be seen on the Beaulieu Estate, which has been in the ownership of the Montagu family for over four centuries.

Explore the ruins of the monastery at Beaulieu which was founded in 1204 by King John, and its Abbey Church dedicated to St. Mary in 1246. Most of the Abbey fell into ruins after the dissolution of the monasteries by King Henry VIII, but the domus, cloisters and refectory remain.

Continue to The National Motor Museum of Beaulieu which is one of five leading National Motor Museums across Europe who have joined forces to display over 1,500 classic cars for enthusiasts to admire. It has one of the finest collections of cars, motorcycles and motoring memorabilia in the world and today you will have a chance to see the vehicles collection from the earliest motor carriages to classic family saloons.

After lunch you will be transferred to your hotel in Winchester. The remainder of the day is at your leisure with dinner on your own.

Note: Your centrally located four-star hotel, the Winchester Royal Hotel, is quite comfortable and one of the best hotels in Winchester; however, it is not considered a luxury property.

DAY 2

After breakfast at the hotel, check out and meet your guide for a tour to explore the highlights of Winchester.

Your first stop is Winchester Cathedral which draws many tourists as a result of its association with Jane Austen, who died in Winchester on July 18, 1817. Her funeral was held in the cathedral, and she was buried in the north aisle.

Next visit The Great Hall and Westgate Museum. Built by William the Conqueror, Winchester Castle was once the seat of power for medieval monarchs – a stronghold of history and legacy. Though much of the original structure has been lost to time, two remarkable survivors remain: The Great Hall, one of the finest medieval halls in England, and the imposing Westgate, which once served as the castle’s primary defense.

Step inside the legendary Great Hall and marvel at its soaring arches, rich history and the iconic Round Table, linked to King Arthur’s legend in popular fiction, and walk through the formidable Westgate, where echoes of centuries past still linger in the stone.

After lunch, depart for London where you will spend the next three nights.

Upon arrival, check into your hotel. The remainer of the day is at your leisure with dinner on your own.

DAY 3

After breakfast at your hotel, depart for a scenic two-hour drive through the countryside to Oxford. Here you will have a guided walking tour of the city and you’ll pay a visit to Oxford Castle.

After lunch in Oxford, enjoy a private tour of Blenheim Palace, one of Britain’s greatest palaces, a UNESCO World Heritage site and birthplace of Winston Churchill. Designed in the 1700s by Vanbrugh and Hawksmoor, you will surely admire its Baroque architecture and then wonder at the collections of art, tapestry and antiques. The Palace is known to house some of the finest collections of antique furniture in Europe. This sprawling palace has 187 rooms and is set within a large park which includes one hundred and fifty acres of award winning Formal Gardens.

You will have time to explore the park and the gardens which surround the Palace. The gardens include the majestic Water Terraces, the Duke’s Private Italian Garden, the tranquil Secret Garden with all of its hidden treasures, the new Churchill Memorial Garden and the beautifully delicate Rose Garden.

Following this delightful day in the countryside, return to your hotel in London. The remainder of the day is at your leisure with dinner on your own.

DAY 4

After breakfast at your hotel depart for the iconic Tower of London where you’ll explore landmarks such as the White Tower, Chapel of St Peter and Vincula, the Medieval Palace, and exhibitions on royal history and military heritage. Note: The places visited inside The Tower of London may vary on the day if there are any closures. The Crown Jewels are not seen on this tour.

Next, enjoy a delicious and traditional English lunch at Bread Street Kitchen & Bar by Gordon Ramsay.

Afterward, head to central London for some free time to shop or explore at your own pace. You may choose to return to the hotel independently at a later time or take the group transfer to your hotel at the designated time.

Dinner is on your own.

DAY 5

After breakfast and check out, transfer to either London Heathrow (LHR) or London Gatwick (LGW) airport for your flight home. Check-out time is 12:00pm and your transfer will be set up according to the flight details provided. Should you have a late flight, you may store your luggage at Reception until your transfer time.

Through the Saxon era and the Mediaeval period up to the city's new foundation as a resort for Georgian aristocrats, making the three-day journey from the capital, the wealthy elite would take the waters to cure themselves of rheumatic diseases, stiffness of the joints and gout.

On arrival in Bath there will be a guided tour where you will walk along the original Roman pavement, before entering the Roman Baths to see the hot baths and remains of the temple of Sulis Minerva.

Next, take a drive though the delightful rolling hills and meandering streams of the Cotswolds, to honey-coloured stone villages down narrow country lanes. Time seems to have been given very little chance to march forward around these parts. Cottages of 17th century weavers’ homes stand next to chuckling streams, gentle rolling green hills and hidden valleys that stretch across these limestone uplands. With an expert guide on board your coach you will set about exploring this area and meander through this wonderful landscape.

Visit Burford where the old weavers’ houses cascade down to the valley of the river Windrush below and see Stow on the Wold with its ancient marketplace and hilltop views. Enjoy a hearty pub lunch in an old English hostelry during your journey around the Cotswold Hills as well as photo stops and guided walks in each of the villages you call into.

Please note: Parts of the itinerary may be reversed depending on local traffic conditions.

Back in London at your hotel, the remainder of the evening is at your leisure and dinner is on your own.
