Azamara Quest — June 19, 2025 12-Night Scotland Intensive Voyage

Day One June 19, 2025 — Southampton, England 6:00PM

Muse on voyages past as you sail in or out of Southampton (it was the departure point for the Mayflower in 1620 and the Titanic in 1912), or visit the nearby attractions of London, Bath, Stonehenge and Lands End.

Day Two June 20, 2025 — At Sea

Spend the day sailing in style aboard your boutique hotel at sea. Indulge in a treatment at Sanctum Spa, stay ship shape with a class at our fitness center, or lounge the day away on our sunny pool deck.In the evening, savor inspired Italian cuisine at Aqualina, or relish in a classic steakhouse experience at Prime C. Plus, you’ll find plenty of exciting evening entertainment, from thrilling shows at Cabaret Lounge to intimate performances in the Living Room.

Day Three & Day Four — Leith (Edinburgh), Scotland (arrives 11:15am on June 21, departs 6:30pm on June 22)

To discover Edinburgh take a walk down The Royal Mile for Edinburgh Castle, the Stone of Destiny and the Palace of Holyroodhouse; but for those itching to get out on the links, there’s no better place than this.

Day Five — Aberdeen, Scotland

Urban life and natural splendor intersect in the Granite City’s stunning green spaces, lush Victorian gardens, ornate architecture, and sandy beaches.

Day Six — Invergordon, Scotland

Take a superb natural setting of mountains, waterfalls and serene lochs (and add one sea monster), pepper the landscape with castles, toss in a trail of whiskey distilleries and there you have it: Invergordon.

Day Seven — Kirkwall, United Kingdom

The 70 islands of Orkney are a pleasing, gently rolling panorama of fields, heather-cloaked moors and lakes, while the imposing St. Magnus Cathedral dominates Kirkwall, the main town linking east and west.

Day Eight — Lerwick/Shetland Scotland

Secluded and seaswept, the Shetland Islands are home to a unique blend of Scandinavian and Scottish culture. Rocky cliffs and rich farmland are yours to explore over 100 islands that embrace a slower, more authentic pace of life.

Day Nine — Stornoway, United Kingdom

Colorful row houses and red-hulled fishing vessels line the shores of this picturesque port. The largest town in the Outer Hebrides, Stornoway serves as a gateway to the Western Isles.

Day Ten — Oban, Scotland

Under the craggy, emerald peaks of the Scottish Highlands lies a tiny port town with a heart for adventure. Gaelic for “little bay”, Oban is a captivating getaway that fulfills your every dream of Scotland.

Day Eleven & Day Twelve — Greenock, Scotland (arrives 8:00am on June 29, departs 5:00pm on June 30)

Nestled on the banks of the River Clyde, Greenock boasts a rich maritime history and stunning waterfront views. Explore its charming streets lined with Victorian architecture or take a scenic stroll along the Esplanade.

Day Thirteen — Dublin, Ireland (debarks 6:00am on July 1, 2025)

Dublin offers a wealth of historic sites dating back to a 1,000-year-old Viking village (including pubs that are almost as old), and as one might expect of the Irish, there is a tale to be told about every one.

Hi, I’m Kenneth Reece — and I help make unforgettable vacations feel effortless. With 50 cruises under my belt (and more in the works!), I specialize in bucket-list travel experiences for grown-up travelers who want something a little more meaningful, a little more personal, and a lot more fun. Whether you're cruising the blue waters of the Caribbean, exploring the stunning coastlines of Alaska, or soaking in the magic of Europe one cobblestone street at a time — I’m here to help you plan a trip you’ll always remember. Lately, river cruising has completely captured my heart. There’s just something special about waking up each morning in a new European town, with your floating boutique hotel waiting to take you to the next charming stop. I love pairing these river cruises with guided land tours for a perfect balance of sightseeing and relaxation. Princess Cruises has long been one of my favorites at sea, but I’ve sailed with many cruise lines and know how to match each client with the right one for them. I’ve also experienced the Disney magic around the world — from Disneyland and Walt Disney World to Tokyo and Paris — and I bring that same sense of wonder and thoughtful planning into everything I do. Whether you're celebrating a milestone, traveling solo, or just need help making sense of all the choices out there, I’m here to be your guide. I love helping clients as much — or as little — as they prefer. From the first conversation to the moment you return home, you’ll know someone has your back. Let’s make your next trip easy, exciting, and completely tailored to you.
