Regent Cruises said: “Art lovers marvel at works in the Guggenheim in Bilbao, foodies will revel in the flavours of Galicia in La Coruña, and history buffs will enjoy strolling the maze-like lanes of Mont Saint-Michel.

The English Channel Icons cruise will set sail from Southampton on June 6, 2026.
Ten days later, Seven Seas Grandeur will depart Southampton and sail to Edinburgh, exploring Scotland and the Shetland Islands before heading to Norway, Denmark, and Ireland.
“Travellers will experience a new side to old favourites, exploring Britain and Ireland in the lap of luxury,” Regent said.
The cruise line added: “Two calls to Lerwick offers remarkable opportunity for full immersion in the Shetland Islands.
“While a call into Invergordon, guests will be able to take in the moodiness of Loch Ness or the taste and history of Scottish whisky.
“Sailing west to Ireland offers calls to Dublin and Belfast to learn about the history and culture of the Land of Saints and Scholars.”
