12 Reasons to Experience a 12-Night British Isles Cruise in 2014

History is everywhere throughout the British Isles. The next port of call on our Princess Cruise's British Isles trip is no exception. This port is the first of three stops in Ireland and is Reason #2 why you should experience a 12-Night British Isles cruise in 2014 or 2015.
 

Reason #2

The Port of Cobh, Ireland 

You may not be familiar with this port but it is famous for being the last stop before the Titanic made it's fateful journey across the Atlantic. In fact, you can take a historic walking tour called The Titanic Trail which explores the historic town of Cobh where the buildings, streets, and piers haven't changed since the Titanic's sinking in 1912. Find out more about The Titanic Trail.

Another famous place that's very close is Blarney Castle, home of the Blarney Stone. The Blarney Stone is visited by 200,000 people annually and tradition says that after kissing the stone you will be more eloquent and persuasive in your speech. Find out more about the history of Blarney by clicking here.

These are just two of the many places to see around the Port of Cobh, Ireland. I'll have more places of interest to share with you in our next two blog posts. The majestic and magical country of Ireland has three ports of call on this spectacular 12-night British Isles cruise on Princess Cruises.
