Day One
Make your way to Hull for this evening's sailing, and enjoy a first dinner on board followed by some first-class entertainment.

Today is spent largely at sea. Get to know the ship, her wide range of on-board amenities and some of your fellow passengers as you cross the English Channel. By evening, she will have tied up in the pretty port of Honfleur, at the mouth of the River Seine and gateway to the stunning Normandy countryside.

Exquisite Honfleur, with its picture-book harbour and quayside, is perfect for wandering, although you may want to join the shore excursion to the Impressionist painter Claude Monet's exquisite home and garden at Giverny, where the grounds are laid out to the artist's design and his studio is left untouched.

Day Four
Guernsey's delightful St Peter Port welcomes Ocean Countess this morning, and the day can be spent enjoying the pleasures of this beautiful Channel Isle. Don't miss 800-year-old Castle Cornet, which guards the entrance to the harbour, nor the medieval, cobbled central quarter of St Peter Port, where countless shops and colourful stalls offer tax-free gifts.

This morning finds us in the fabled Isles of Scilly.

Ocean Countess's next call is ancient Anglesey. The island is home to stunning countryside, some of Britain's finest beaches, countless traditional, to historic Beaumaris Castle, and to three picturesque bridges across the Menai Strait.One of the most photographed railway signs in the world is at famous, 58-lettered 'Llanfair P.G.', in the centre of this fascinating place.
