Experience the world-famous Edinburgh Royal Military Tattoo and discover the beauty of Britain and Ireland on a splendid cruise, paired with incredible city escapes.
Imagine sitting beneath the illuminated walls of Edinburgh Castle as hundreds of performers move in perfect unison across the Esplanade, massed bands march with military precision, and familiar ANZAC tunes echo through the night air. Drums crash, bagpipes proclaim, and fireworks burst overhead, providing a stirring soundtrack. This is the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, and you’re immersed in the spectacle.
From one iconic capital city to another, a London hotel stay begins your adventure in unparalleled style, allowing time to explore world-famous landmarks and hidden treasures. Between your city escapes, sail onboard Majestic Princess on a scenic voyage around Britain and Ireland, calling at fascinating ports rich in history, culture and natural beauty, from charming coastal towns to vibrant cities.
