PONANT invites you aboard Le Bellot for a 9-day cruise to discover the British and Irish treasures along the coastlines of the Channel and the North, Celtic and Irish seas.
Your journey will start in London, the cosmopolitan capital of the United Kingdom, at the heart of global trade and rich with historical heritage and exceptional avant-garde art. Fall in love with this city, a concentration of all things British, enhanced by cultural influences from around the world.
After calling at Cowes, on the Isle of Wight, Le Bellot will sail to Penzance. With its moor landscapes and its beaches of white sand, this small seaside resort at the tip of Cornwall is reminiscent of Brittany.
Next port of call, Fishguard. This small coastal town in South Wales will offer you a peaceful stop between lush valleys and heather-covered landscapes. This town with a rich historical heritage was once a Viking trading post.
You will also discover Liverpool, a former industrial powerhouse, today completely redeveloped, located on the banks of the Mersey and famous as the birthplace of the Beatles.
Le Bellot will then sail to Dublin. The Irish capital, distinguished by UNESCO for having inspired some of the greatest authors since the 19th century, will win you over with its authentic charm and its convivial atmosphere.
During your stopover in Belfast, you can visit the Giant's Causeway. This massive geological formation is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and features over 40,000 basalt columns.
Your cruise will come to an end in Fairlie, a charming village on the west coast of Scotland, looking across to the Isle of Arran.

Located on the north coast of the Isle of Wight, across from the shores of the port cities of Portsmouth and Southampton, Cowes will win you over with its easy lifestyle, its heritage, verdant landscapes, craggy cliffs, and the crystal-clear waters of the Solent, the stretch of sea separating the island from mainland England. Many have succumbed to the charms of this pristine jewel. This includes Queen Victoria, who, captivated by this natural and authentic setting, had her summer residence built there in 1847: Osborne House, an architectural gem that is now one of the symbols of the town. A shipbuilding centre and the cradle of sailing, Cowes welcomes one of the largest regattas in the world every year during Cowes Week, an event gathering some 10,000 skippers and more than a thousand boats.

The gateway to Cornwall, on the south-western tip of England, Penzance, whose Cornish name Pen Sans means “holy headland”, is sure to captivate you with its charm. This seaside town with white-sand beaches is brimming with history. It boasts a small fishing port and is home to magnificent Georgian and Regency buildings, stunning gardens with exotic plants, and the Penlee House Gallery & Museum, which traces the evolution of West Cornwall. Follow the promenade along the water’s edge: on the horizon stands St Michael’s Mount.

Across its vast expanses of fertile land, its green valleys and its magnificent moors, the region will reveal its rich historical heritage to you. Among other things, you will be able to visit mediaeval Pembroke Castle, renowned for its impressive architecture and the illustrious people who have lived there, such as Gerald de Windsor.
8 May 2023 - Liverpool
Arrival 8/5/2023 early morning
Departure 8/5/2023 evening
The fast-moving and appealing city of Liverpool sprawls along the banks of the River Mersey. This former bastion of industry in England's north-west has found its second wind, thanks especially to the highly successful redevelopment of its docks, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2004. The city, the Beatles' birthplace, has lots to offer to its visitors. While a walk down the Waterfront from Pier Head to Albert Dock is a major highlight youﾒll also love the quality of ﾠmuseums such as the Walker Art Gallery and the wealth of architecture in the city. But what will really impress you is the playful and open-minded spirit of its inhabitants, which John Lennon referred to as "positive energy".
9 May 2023 - Dublin
Arrival 9/5/2023 early morning
Departure 9/5/2023 early evening
The Irish capital stretches along the banks of the Liffey to Dublin bay, on the East coast of Ireland. Discover Ireland’s warm conviviality in the pedestrian district of Temple Bar. Its cobbled streets are brimming with fabulous shops, pubs and arts centres. Next to Trinity College, famous for its 18th century library, you can stroll along Grafton Street: in one of its famous tea shops, try a delicious scone and clotted cream served hot and melt-in-the-mouth with jam. Not far from here, the majestic O’Connell bridge leads you to the avenue with the same name, on which Spire, a luminous contemporary sculpture presides.
10 May 2023 - Belfast, Northern Ireland
Arrival 10/5/2023 early morning
Departure 10/5/2023 late afternoon
The capital city of Northern Ireland is located on the very tip of Belfast Lough, in the north-east of the Emerald Isle. Along the waterfront, the building shaped like a fragmented liner is non other than the Titanic Belfast, a homage to the famous transatlantic liner, with full-scale reconstructions making for an insightful experience of the Belle Epoque. In the historical centre, you’ll also travel back in time when you see the majestic Edwardian columns of the City Hall, and the imposing neo-gothic towers of Queen’s University for example. The carved wooden façades of the Victorian pubs will certainly entice you in for a pint of beer or chilled cider.
11 May 2023 - Fairlie (Glasgow), Scotland
Arrival 11/5/2023 early morning
Disembarkation 11/5/2023 at 7:00 am
The village of Fairlie can be found less than an hour away from lively Glasgow. In the north of Ayrshire county, on the western Scottish coast, this charming little town faces the Isle of Arran. The originality of Kelburn Castle, built in the 12th century, stems from its façade covered in graffiti by four famous Brazilian graffiti artists. This artistic statement as well as the castle’s estate and gardens, which can be discovered during a pleasant walk, are well worth a visit.
Scenic Isle of Wight by vintage car
The Isle of Wight is a county and the largest island of England, located in the English Channel, 3-5 miles (5-8 km) off the south coast of the county of Hampshire, separated from the mainland by a strait called the Solent. The island is known for its natural beauty, its sailing based at the town of Cowes, and its resorts, which have been holiday destinations since Victorian times. The Island has a rich history, including a brief status as an independent kingdom in the 15th century. Until 1995, in common with Jersey and Guernsey, the island had its own Governor - most notably Lord Mountbatten from 1969-1974, after which he became Lord Lieutenant until his assassination in 1979.
Enjoy the lovely scenery of the Isle of Wight in true style on this very special excursion. For your tour today you will travel by classic and vintage motor cars some are very rare. There could be an Austin Chummy, an old Worsleys, Alvis or an MG.
Depart from Cowes for a truly luxurious journey around the most scenic areas of the Isle of Wight. Your vehicle is driven by its owner, a vintage car enthusiast who not only loves his wonderful motor car but loves the island too and will show it to you today in all its glory. During your drive, there will be time to take in the lovely scenery the Isle of Wight has to offer, hills, unforgettable vistas over the sea, quaint villages, rolling fields and fine dwellings.
There is time to stop and stretch your legs at a beauty spot too, so don't forget your camera. There will also be a stop at Calbourne Water Mill. Set in 10 acres of stunning rural landscape, Calbourne Water Mill contains one of the oldest working water mills in the country dating back to the Domesday Book. Here you will be able to enjoy a light refreshment.
Rejoin your driver and vintage motor car for the scenic return drive to arrive in Cowes in classic style.

Land's End & St Ives
Depart Penzance and head to Land’s End, where on a clear day fine views of the steep granite cliffs and rugged scenery can be enjoyed from the rocky plateau. For generations of British mariners, sighting Land's End meant the end of a long, often arduous journey; watching it fade from view over the stern meant the beginning of unknown adventures to come.
Next, set off towards pretty St Ives, taking in the North Coast’s beautiful scenery en route, before arriving at a St Ives restaurant for a scrumptious traditional Cornish cream tea. It’s then time for the short transfer by bus into the picturesque artists’ haven of St Ives town, where your guide will point out the key highlights before you set off to explore the town at your leisure.
Following your visit to St Ives, depart on the journey back to Penzance.
- Total walking distance for this moderate tour is at your discretion (paths at Land’s End, slopes in places to reach viewpoints and uneven walking in St Ives).

Penzance walking tour
Penzance is the principal town on the Land’s End peninsula and is only 10 miles away from Land’s End itself. With a population of approximately 20,000, it is both a market town and a popular tourist destination, and features an attractive promenade on the sea front.
On this walking tour, enjoy a leisurely stroll through the town, free time in Penzance and a traditional cream tea at a local hotel. One of the remarkable things about the town is the abundance of palm trees and gardens full of sub-tropical plants, a sure sign that you have arrived somewhere unique made even more special by the sight of St Michael’s Mount out to sea. The town has the most westerly major Harbour on the English Channel and from there, ferry services operate to the Isles of Scilly.
As well as outstanding natural beauty Penzance is also surrounded by an area of Celtic culture. Penzance prospered from the 16th century, when markets were established and the town and Harbour drew business away from nearby Marazion, which until then was the main port and market town on Mount’s Bay. Penzance became a tin-trading town in later centuries.
Walk through Penzance and experience a fresh insight into the interest and charm of this famous Cornish town. Stroll through the town and marvel at it coming alive as your guide takes you down the winding streets to see the historic and contemporary buildings. Listen as your guide regales tales from a time where pirates and smugglers where a plenty and its long tradition of music and song, inspired Gilbert and Sullivan to name one of the most famous of their productions “The Pirates of Penzance.”
After your walking tour, arrive by foot at a local hotel with beautiful sea views and enjoy a traditional Cornish Cream tea, before taking the short walk back to the pier.
- This tour is entirely done by foot and involves two and a half hours of walking on uneven surfaces as well as some steps. Participants should be in excellent physical conditions.
