3 Night Cruise sailing from Greenock to Liverpool aboard Boudicca.

A truly world class cruise ship with a light and airy design, Boudicca's scale will create a sense of warmth and welcome from the moment you embark. Her large windows will bring light to the subtle and elegant decor of the unconfined lounges, restaurants and public areas.

The essence of cruising is learning the art of relaxation, and time is in generous supply as you take life at your own pace. An early morning swim, a mid-morning coffee, attend informative port lectures, or settle down in a quiet corner with a good book.

In the evening, relax and be entertained in the lounge where a shimmering stage backdrop highlights spectacular cabarets. Port lectures, classical music and dancing take place on most days, so there is something to suit everyone.

Highlights of this cruise:

Greenock
Greenock is a historic industrial town on the south bank of the Firth of Clyde, 40 km's west of Glasgow. The town grew as a fishing community, then became the site of the first dock on the Clyde in 1711. Shipbuilding and overseas trade transformed the town from then on until the latter half of the 20th century.

Today, much of the west end retains impressive Victorian buildings such as Victoria Tower crowning the town hall. The waterfront is under considerable redevelopment. The ferry travels from Victoria Harbour around the Firth of Clyde to places such as Dunoon, Rothesay and Tarbert. A superb view of the Clyde Estuary and the mountains is to be had from the Free French Memorial on Lyle Hill.

The town's maritime history can be traced at the Custom House Museum, while the McLean Museum and Art Gallery dedicates a room to Greenock's most famous son, steam engine pioneer James Watt.

Liverpool
Liverpool is a major city and metropolitan borough in Merseyside, in North West England, along the eastern side of the Mersey Estuary. It is fast becoming one of Europe's most popular city break destinations. Already famous as the birthplace of The Beatles, the city's other cultural assets are justifiably touted as some of the finest in Europe. With more theatres, museums and galleries than any other UK city outside London, Liverpool's history as one of the world's great ports has left a remarkable legacy of art and architecture that gives it a distinctive look and unique atmosphere.

Liverpool is also one of the world's great sporting cities with horse racing at Aintree and Haydock, 40 golf courses - seven of which are Championship standard, including the Royals Birkdale and Lytham, not to mention Liverpool and Everton FC. So if it's Strawberry Fields, Premiership football or Europe's finest culture you're looking for, it has to be Liverpool.
