Cruise lovers looking for a cultural summer getaway with a difference now have a trio of new cruises to choose from with Voyages to Antiquity.

The 14-day Celtic SailAway, which departs Greenock on 26 July, will travel via Scotland, Ireland and Wales and call at islands as diverse as the Isle of Mull (Tobermory), Isles of Scilly (Tresco) and Jersey as it makes its way south towards London (Tilbury).

On 22 August the London to Lisbon SailAway will leave Tilbury on a 14-day cruise that will transport passengers via some of the lesser-explored delights of France, Spain and Portugal, including Honfleur’s picturesque Norman harbour, the world-famous wines of Bordeaux and Oporto and the historic port of La Coruña, known as the City of Glass.

The third cruise, the 13-day Lisbon to Rome SailAway, will set off from the Portuguese capital on 3 September. As it skirts the Hispanic coastline guests will have the chance to visit Cadiz, Malaga, Valencia and Barcelona as well as southern France before exploring two of Italy’s most iconic cities; Florence and Rome.

Prices for all three summer departures start from £1,995pp per person, including all meals and drinks with dinner on-board, guest speakers and shore excursions. Solo travellers can also capitalise on no single supplements across the new SailAway cruises.
