Choose from a selection of suites and staterooms with contemporary and stylish interiors, and enjoy award-winning dining in the panoramic restaurant or Al Fresco on the Aquavit Terrace.
Arrive in London and check into your hotel to begin your voyage into 20th-century history. Hitler was never able to conquer this capital city, although it did feel the full force of Nazi might with 57 continuous nights of aerial bombing.
Visit Bletchley Park, home to the World War II codebreakers. This centre was established in scenic Buckinghamshire, well away from the risk of bombing in London. Explore the Victorian estate and original buildings, returning to the capital after lunch.
Visit the Churchill War Rooms where D-Day was planned, then, afterwards, enjoy the historic sights of London on a driving tour before heading for some retail therapy and lunch in vibrant Covent Garden. The day finishes at the Imperial War Museum.
Visit the Golden Lion in pretty Southwick on the South Coast, the unofficial Officers Mess used by Montgomery and Eisenhower. From there, travel to Portsmouth and Gunwharf Quays, a restored military site with retail outlets and a D-Day Museum.
Check out of your London hotel and begin your journey to Paris, the City of Lights, and one of the most famous and romantic destinations in the world.
Tour all the major Parisian sights with an expert guide, including the Champs-Élysées, the Palais Garnier opera house, and the Louvre. Guests can also visit the Latin Quarter and savour some delectable treats on a gastronomic excursion.
Vernon is a charming French town with pretty cobblestone streets, half-timbered houses, and a fascinating history due in no small part to its location between Paris and Rouen. On the way to Rouen, enjoy scenic sailing and classic Norman landscapes.
Normandy’s capital, Rouen, is dominated by its beautiful cathedral, which Claude Monet painted many times. Enjoy an expert-guided tour of the historic city, including the cathedral and the 14th-century Abbey where Joan of Arc was sentenced to death.
Visit the Pegasus Memorial Museum and learn about the roles that Britain and Canada played in the D-Day Landings. Stop at Juno Beach with its informational Beach Centre and travel to Arromanches to see the remains of the famous Mulberry Harbour.
Enjoy a walking tour of the most scenic castle ruins in the Seine Valley with fabulous views of the river. Château Gaillard was built in the 12th century and was of huge strategic importance and an excellent example of medieval siege warfare construction.
Explore the treasures of the Louvre, France’s national museum, and repository of art with iconic artworks like the Mona Lisa and sculptures by Michelangelo. In the evening, enjoy traditional French cuisine at a Paris brasserie.
After breakfast, disembark your cruise ship and bid a fond farewell to the City of Lights as you start your journey back to the UK.
