Discover the best of England and Scotland on a guided journey through iconic cities, historic landmarks and picturesque towns. Explore London, with its famous sights including Big Ben, and take excursions to mysterious Stonehenge and the Roman Baths. Continue to Liverpool, the Beatles’ hometown, and Edinburgh, then visit York and Stratford-upon-Avon, birthplace of William Shakespeare, before returning to London.

Then board the Eurostar to Paris and begin a Seine River cruise through Normandy aboard an Avalon Suite Ship®. In Vernon, choose between Monet’s gardens at Giverny and Bizy Castle, known as “Normandy’s Versailles.” You can also visit the Normandy Landing Beaches, including Omaha Beach, Pointe du Hoc and the American Cemetery.

Discover Rouen’s medieval quarter on a guided walk, then choose an excursion from Conflans to Auvers-sur-Oise, which inspired artists including Vincent van Gogh, or to Malmaison, the former home of Napoleon and Josephine. Enjoy scenic sailing, regional wine and cheese, and guided sightseeing in Paris, where historic landmarks bring the City of Light’s rich past to life.

Highlights

  • Ascend to Castle Rock to explore Edinburgh Castle, one of the most important historical strongholds in the Kingdom of Scotland, with a 1,100-year history as "the most besieged place in Great Britain".

 

  • Overnight in Paris and enjoy guided sightseeing of the city’s iconic sites, including the Louvre Museum, the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, and the famous Champs-Élysées.
