Its proximity to mainland Europe has left a legacy of castles scattered throughout the region, the highlight of which is the fairytale Leeds Castle. Even Dover itself has an imposing castle on the cliff tops – truly a memorable image when departing British shores.

Dover is increasingly popular as an embarkation point for cruise around Northern Europe. State of the art facilities and easy access to London have all helped in developing an enviable reputation of efficiency making your departure very enjoyable.
