    ACTIVITIES

    Although the focus of our cruises is mainly on sightseeing and socializing, we do like to mix in a bit of frivolity as well. With that in mind, we’re planning a couple of themed parties during the cruise including a welcome party, a T-Dance, quiz shows. If you should choose to participate, great; if you’d rather just be a voyeur, that is totally fine as well.

    We will update you on the booked guest pages with any themes prior to your trip.

     

    Itinerary

    Day 1

    Dublin, Ireland

    Monday, September 22, 2025

    Ireland’s capital, Dublin, is bustling, cosmopolitan, ancient, and young at heart all at once. It is one of Europe’s liveliest cities, where medieval and 17th-century buildings stand comfortably amid all the trappings of a 21st-century community. Arrive early and marvel at the incredible Book of Kells, one of the most beautifully illuminated manuscripts in the world. Take a gentle and relaxing cruise along the River Liffey and immerse yourself in the capital’s colorful history, from the first arrival of the Vikings to the rapid development of the city during the 18th and 19th centuries. When in Dublin, the Guinness Storehouse, located in the heart of St. James’ Gate Brewery, invites you to raise a glass at the Gravity Bar with a 360-degree view of the city skyline.

    Today we’ll board the World Traveller. Settle in to your cabin and enjoy a welcome dinner as the ship sets sail. Get set for a week of enriching shore excursions, exquisite cuisine, impeccable service, Brand g Signature Entertainment all in the intimate company of 200 of your closest Brand g friends! (Dinner)

    Day 2

    Isles of Scilly, UK

    Tuesday, September 23, 2025

    While you might think you’ve landed in the Caribbean, the gorgeous oasis of St. Mary’s is very much in England. The Isles of Scilly enjoy a climate that is among the mildest, warmest, and sunniest in the United Kingdom. And very few ships visit, making it an ideal remote getaway. Among the smattering of islands strung off the tip of Cornwall is the thoroughly enchanting St. Mary’s with a population of almost 1,800 and covering an area of about three-square miles, the largest island of the five and the gateway to the rest of the archipelago. While St. Mary’s is laid back, you’ll find you can still enjoy an active day, whether you rent a boat or go paddle boarding. Hugh Town, St. Mary’s central hub, holds plenty of shops, restaurants, galleries and cafés to spend a leisurely afternoon. Nearby lie three beaches – Porthmellon, Town Beach and Porthcressa – for a relaxing beach day. (B,L,D)

    Day 3

    Douarnenez, France

    Wednesday, September 24, 2025

    Douarnenez is situated in the Douarnenez Bay, on coastal Brittany. It is a workaday town with an active sardine fishing and canning industry. The most picturesque parts of Douarnenez are found along the waterfront and can be seen in several different parts of the town, including the Quartier du Grand Port in the town center. You will also find a wide choice of cafes and restaurants near the port.  (B,L,D)

    Day 4

    Bordeaux (Grattequina), France

    Thursday, September 25, 2025

    A day tour in Bordeaux offers a delightful mix of historic and cultural attractions. The highlights include: Place de la Bourse, a stunning 18th-century square known for its Water Mirror, the Cathédrale Saint-André, a UNESCO World Heritage site with impressive Gothic architecture, and La Cité du Vin, an ultra-modern museum dedicated to the world of wine, offering interactive exhibits and panoramic views of the city. Or, stroll along the Quais de Bordeaux, a picturesque waterfront promenade perfect for a leisurely walk or bike ride. (B,L,D)

    Day 5

    Bordeaux (Grattequina), France

    Friday, September 26, 2025

    On your second day in Bordeaux, perhaps consider visiting the vineyards of Margaux and Saint-Émilion, a captivating journey through some of the world’s most renowned wine regions. In Margaux, you’ll find elegant châteaux producing exquisite Cabernet Sauvignon blends, while Saint-Émilion charms with its medieval architecture and rich Merlot-based wines. The surrounding Bordeaux area is dotted with picturesque vineyards, each offering unique tasting experiences and insights into traditional winemaking. Whether you’re a wine connoisseur or a casual enthusiast, these regions promise an unforgettable exploration of French viticulture. (B,L,D)

    Day 6

    San Sebastian, Spain

    Saturday, September 27, 2025

    Sitting along the golden coasts of the Basque Country, San Sebastián offers a seaside allure that pairs beautifully with its culinary culture. Whether enjoying pintxo bar hopping for delicious tapas or savoring the flavors of oysters with txakoli, a lightly sparkling white wine, the local delicacies are sure to inspire and delight your palate. Explore Mercado de La Bretxa, where the vendors claim Spain’s top chefs source their ingredients. Head over to Playa de la Concha to watch the local surfers in the city’s favorite pastime. Ride the vintage funicular to the top of Mount Igueldo for breathtaking, panoramic views. Wander through the Old Town and Plaza de la Constitución to connect with the locals and San Sebastián’s rich history. (B,L,D)

    Day 7

    At Sea

    Sunday, September 28, 2025

    Spend the day on the high seas pampering yourself at the spa or enjoying some time on deck. Mingle with your fellow explorers and swap stories of your exploits, making plans for new ones together once you get to shore. (B,L,D)

    Day 8

    La Coruña, Spain

    Monday, September 29, 2025

    A province of Galicia, La Coruña (also known as A Coruña) holds a great deal of history that attracts the intellectual traveler. Home of the Spanish Armada and second-biggest port town in the country, it’s a city that invites explorer spirts to rediscover all its lost secrets and hidden gems.

    About an hour away lies Santiago de Compostela, a beautiful cathedral to which many make a pilgrimage spanning 500 miles across the top of Spain. If you seek the beauty of nature within the splendor of historic architecture, La Coruña offers the Garden of San Carlos and the Gardens of Mendez Nuñez with verdant patches of bushes and palm trees sprinkled throughout paved paths amid cultural landmarks. (B,L,D)

    Day 9

    Porto (Leixoes), Portugal

    Tuesday, September 30, 2025

    Along the Douro River in the north of Portugal lies Porto, the country’s second-largest city. It may be renowned for its port wine – the Ferreira Caves being one such famed cellar and one of the oldest port wine cellars in Portugal – but the city contains so much more for the explorer spirit to discover. Starting in the port of Leixões, your journey takes you to the Dom Luis I bridge, a direct link to Ribeira, Porto’s oldest district. One of Porto’s most significant sites, the Livraria Lello, is filled with historical, architectural, and literary importance, containing a world of books that any bibliophile traveler will find exciting. (B,L,D)

    Day 10

    Lisbon, Portugal

    Wednesday, October 1, 2025

    Portugal’s capital Lisbon comes alive with a rich history seen in every nook and cranny of the city. From the resting place of famous explorer Vasco de Gama at Jeronimos Monastery to the impressive turrets of São Jorge Castle dating all the way back to second century B.C.E., Lisbon offers a deep dive into the past to satiate the most curious travelers. While Western Europe’s oldest city boasts an array of Baroque and Neoclassical architecture, that does not mean it has remained stuck in the past. On the contrary, the colorful culture and vibrant life that runs throughout the city’s restaurants, shops, and rooftop bars make it buzz with infectious energy. Taking a tuk tuk through its hard-to-reach passages allows you to experience Lisbon as the locals do. (B,L,D)

    Day 11

    Lisbon, Portugal

    Thursday, October 2, 2025

    Disembarkation. Our journey concludes this morning. (B)

    United Kingdom (UK) Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA)
    All U.S. citizens traveling to or transiting through the UK for tourism will need to obtain an UK ETA to travel. Applications may be submitted via the UK Government website. Decisions are typically made within three working days, and the ETA is valid for two years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first.

    We will make every effort to accommodate special dietary requests. Please inform our office at least 45 days prior to departure of these requests.

    What are pre-paid gratuities?

    Gratuities are customary expressions of appreciation for a job well done. It is our goal to ensure that the service you receive is as wonderful as the sites you visit. Gratuities for the included portions of this program have been prepaid. At your own discretion, you may choose to provide additional tips.

    Is there a dress code?

    You are on vacation, so the last thing we want to impose is a dress code. However, for this luxe experience, we recommend you dress up a bit for dinners in the ship’s main dining rooms. Otherwise, be as dressed up or down as you see fit as long as you’re comfortable. Be sure to dress appropriately for changeable weather.

    If specific clothing is required, e.g. when visiting cold or tropical climates or a place of worship on a tour, we will specifically let you know prior to travel.

    Are excursions included?

    Yes, generally one excursion per port is included as part of the cruise fare.

    28. DISABILITY OF PASSENGER.
    29. If in the judgment of Carrier or Vessel’s Captain any Passenger may be excluded from landing at any destination by governmental authorities, or may endanger the health, safety or comfort of such Passenger or others by reason of any exposure to bacteria, viruses or other contagion and any illness or condition of such Passenger. If Passenger fails or refuses to observe or comply with any such orders or regulations that are or may be established on board the Vessel for the general comfort or safety of Passengers and crew, Carrier shall have the right to refuse to transport Passenger, or may land or eject Passenger at any port of call, at Passenger’s own expense, or may require Passenger to submit to such restrictions on board the Vessel as in the opinion of Vessel’s Captain or other officer in charge may be necessary for the safety or comfort of Passenger or others on board. The Captain or such other officer shall be the sole judge of such matter, and Passenger agrees to accept such judgment as final, and neither Carrier nor the Vessel’s Captain nor such officer shall be liable for mistakes in judgment exercised in good faith. If Passenger is refused passage or leaves the Vessel for any such reason, Carrier shall not be required to refund any portion of the fare paid and shall not be responsible for any of Passenger’s costs. The acceptance of Passenger at embarkation shall not constitute a waiver of any right permitted herein for Carrier or the Vessel’s Captain to take action thereafter with respect to any condition or conduct of Passenger. All Passengers are subject to medical examination if required by Carrier.
    30. In the event a Passenger fails to board the Vessel prior to the time of its scheduled (or otherwise fixed) sailing from any of the ports visited, the Vessel may, at Carrier’s option, sail without the Passenger, whereupon all liability and responsibility of Carrier with respect to such Passenger shall terminate, except to discharge Passenger’s baggage and other effects, if any, at the destination named in this Cruise Ticket, subject to the terms, conditions and exceptions stated herein. If Passenger shall establish the failure to board the Vessel reasonably was due to fault on the part of Carrier, then Carrier shall be responsible for the expense of forwarding the Passenger to the destination named in this Cruise Ticket (or to the Vessel, at Carrier’s option), but shall not be in any respect otherwise liable. No persons are authorized to inform Passengers of the times of sailing from ports except the Vessel’s officers, and the expedition leader.
    31. PHOTO/VIDEO RELEASE AND ASSIGNMENT. Passenger acknowledges that as a normal part of its business, Carrier produces photographic and video recordings of its voyages which are made available to passengers and also may be used by Carrier in advertising and promoting its products. Passenger hereby consents to the making of photographic and video recordings (“images”) including Passenger’s appearance and voice, while Passenger is engaged in the Cruise, and grants to Carrier the right to use such images and any copies or derivative works therefrom in any manner for promotional and other commercial purposes, in any medium. Passenger releases and assigns to Carrier any right or interest Passenger may have in images including Passenger’s appearance and/or voice taken by employees, agents or contractors of Carrier, and waives any rights of any kind in or over such images including rights of (A) compensation, (B) publicity, privacy or copyright, or (C) review, inspection or approval.
    32. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS. Tours, shore excursions and activities, landbased travel and activities, charter air travel, hotels, restaurants, bus and other transportation, and medical testing services not aboard the Vessel are not under the control of Carrier, and Carrier shall have no responsibility or obligation other than (if undertaken) as agent for Passenger in engaging or contracting for the provision of such services, subject to the terms of those who actually undertake performance of the service, and whether or not the cost thereof is included in the fare for the Cruise. If the Vessel carries a physician, nurse, hairdresser, massage therapist, or any other person customarily providing personal service for a fee, or if Carrier arranges emergency medical care or transportation for Passenger’s behalf, that is done solely for the convenience of Passengers and any such person or entity in dealing with a Passenger shall not be considered in any respect as the employee or agent of Carrier, but as an independent contractor. Carrier shall not be liable for any act or omission of such persons or entities, or those under their orders or assisting with respect to medical testing, diagnosis, treatment, supplies, advice or care of any kind given to any Passenger. The cost or charge for any service provided by any such independent contractor for or on behalf of a Passenger shall be the sole responsibility of the Passenger, and Carrier shall not be liable in any way whatsoever in any such arrangement.
    33. GENERAL LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Carrier and Vessel are not responsible for, and shall not be liable in any manner to Passenger, for any loss, injury, illness, or death to Passenger or any property (whether such property be in the custody of Carrier or otherwise): (A) whenever occurring if caused by or arising from any Act of God, civil commotion or disturbance, labor action, Acts of State or restraint or requisition, fire, robbery, theft, pilferage (whether on board or on shore or whether or not by a person in the employment of Carrier), perils of the sea, errors in navigation, collision, inability to secure or failure of supplies, or any other cause beyond Carrier’s reasonable control or actions of any person not shown to have been caused by Carrier’s negligence; (B) occurring or sustained after disembarkation from the Vessel or prior to embarkation upon the Vessel, provided, however, that in case the Vessel’s boats are used as tenders Carrier’s responsibility (subject always to the terms of this Cruise Ticket) shall be in effect while Passengers are on board said boats; (C) attributable to any cancellation, prevention, change or delay of sailing, or detention during the Cruise caused by accident or otherwise, or for any loss of time, hotel or board bills, travel expenses or other costs incurred in connection therewith; or (D) that arises from or is proximately caused by a pre-existing exposure to a virus or other pathogen, illness or condition. In addition, neither Carrier nor Vessel shall be liable for infliction of emotional distress, mental suffering or psychological injury, whether or not involving negligence or willful fault. Thus, the Carrier disclaims all liability to Passenger for damages for emotional distress, mental suffering, or psychological injury of any kind under any circumstances, except for such damages proven in a court of competent jurisdiction arising from and attributable to Passenger’s physical injury or as the result of Passenger having been at actual risk of immediate physical injury proximately caused by Carrier’s negligence or intentionally inflicted by the Carrier. Any change in the relationship among parties that constitute the “Carrier’s Affiliates” as defined in Clause 28 shall not be grounds for cancellation by or refunds to Passengers. Nothing in this contract shall be construed as depriving Carrier of the benefit of any statute providing for limitation of or exoneration from liability, nor of any liberty, right or remedy, to which it would otherwise be entitled. PASSENGER UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES, AND AGREES THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL MYSTIC CRUISES, ITS PARENT, SUBSIDIARIES, AND ASSIGNS, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, SUCCESSORS, REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS AND ASSIGNS BE LIABLE UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS CONTRACT OR ITS SUBJECT MATTER UNDER ANY LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, INCLUDING BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, AND OTHERWISE, FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES. LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
    34. COVID-19 DISCLAIMER. Passenger understands and acknowledges that there is a risk of being exposed to bacteria, viruses and other contagion, including the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, and of contracting an illness or disease, including COVID-19, as a result of such exposure despite screening and testing and other steps taken by the Carrier and Passenger in response to these risks. Passenger also acknowledges that in the event any passenger, crew, staff or others on the Vessel were to test positive for COVID-19 and/or develop symptoms consistent with COVID-19, governmental authorities may require a 14-day or longer quarantine of all individuals on the Vessel either on the Vessel or elsewhere. Passenger hereby waives and releases Carrier from any and all claims, demands, and damages arising from or relating to any exposure to the coronavirus and/or the contraction of any illness or disease as a result of any such exposure, including but not limited to COVID-19, by Passenger or any other person, including claims and damages due or allegedly due to inaccurate test results (including possible false negative test results) and/or the negligence of any Independent Contractor providing any medical screening or testing services, laboratory services, medical evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, advice, and/or recommendations, or any supplies and services for sanitation purposes.
    35. The Carrier and Passenger hereby agree that there is no warranty, whether express or implied, as to the fitness, seaworthiness, or the condition of the Vessel, or with respect to the condition of any person on board the vessel or on the land or in ports, or of any food, drink, medicine, medical test or equipment, or provision encountered, supplied or utilized during or in connection with the Cruise whether or not on board the Vessel. ALL WARRANTIES INCLUDING WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR USE AND OF MERCHANTABILITY ARE EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED. CARRIER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
    36. The Passenger acknowledges that the Carrier is not an insurer of his or her safety during the Cruise, including but not limited to embarking or disembarking the Vessel, during the Cruise, pre-Cruise travel and check-ins, or any shore excursions or activities.
    37. RELEASE AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK. Passenger acknowledges that there are certain unavoidable risks to Passenger and property associated with expedition travel, including, among others, traveling with other people, collisions of ships or other vehicles, illnesses caused by consumption of food and beverages, illness or disease caused by exposure to bacteria, pathogens, and viruses, including the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, slip and fall due to the motion of the sea or other causes, civil unrest or terrorism, forces of nature such as weather and the unpredictable behavior of animals in the wild, breakdown of equipment, and overexertion. Passenger understands and acknowledges that full medical facilities are not available aboard ship nor, in many cases, in the Vessel’s ports of call, to deal with medical emergencies that may arise. Passenger understands that the pricing of this Cruise Ticket is based upon the assumption of these risks by Passenger. Therefore, Passenger hereby releases the Carrier, the Vessel from any liability for personal injuries, illness or death, or loss of or damage to property, occurring during or as a result of the Cruise, including on board ship, on land, on zodiacs or other craft or in transit, except as a direct result of the negligence of Carrier (and then subject to all the other provisions of this Cruise Ticket). Passenger further agrees that Passenger will participate in special activities which may include, but are not limited to, snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking or biking only to the extent of Passenger’s physical ability and qualification by experience, and agrees to assume all the risks of such activities, whether known or unknown, as well as all risks arising out of Passenger’s personal medical condition prior to the Cruise, whether or not disclosed to the Carrier, and whether or not asymptomatic prior to the Cruise.
    38. TIME LIMIT FOR CLAIMS. No claim for loss, emotional or physical injury, illness, or death shall be enforceable against Carrier or Vessel unless notice thereof in writing with full particulars of the claim be delivered to Carrier within 185 days (30 days for claims relating to baggage or other loss), and unless suit is commenced within one year (six months for claims relating to baggage or other loss), after the day of such loss, injury or death, but provided that whenever Passenger’s baggage or other property is inspected by Customs Authorities at the port of debarkation, notice of any loss or damage thereto must be given in writing to Carrier or its agent before removal of such baggage or other property from the place of Customs inspection. If written notice of a claim is not given and suit not commenced within the time limits provided herein (which provisions are not subject to waiver or extension by any employee or agent of Carrier) all suits and actions thereon no matter by whom instituted shall be barred. In any case where the periods fixed in this Cruise Ticket for the filing of claims and/or the institution of suits are less than allowed in any statute relating to the carriage of Passengers or their baggage by sea, then this clause shall be construed and take effect as though the periods fixed for the filing of claims and/or the institution of suits were the periods referred to in such statute.

    4. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY FOR INTERNATIONAL EU CRUISES. On international cruises which neither embark, disembark nor call at any U.S. port and where the Passenger commences the Cruise by embarkation or disembarks at the end of the Cruise in a port of a European Member State, Carrier shall be entitled to any and all liability limitations and immunities for loss of or damage to luggage, death and/or personal injury as provided under EU Regulation 392/2009 on the liability of carriers to passengers in the event of accidents. Unless the loss or damage was caused by a shipping incident, which is defined as a shipwreck, capsizing, collision or stranding of the ship, explosion or fire in the ship, or defect in the ship (as defined by the Regulation), Carrier’s liability is limited to no more than 400,000 Special Drawing Rights (“SDR”) (approximately U.S. $550,000, which fluctuates depending on the daily exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal) if the Passenger proves that the incident was a result of Carrier’s fault or neglect. If the loss or damage was caused by a shipping incident, Carrier’s liability is limited to no more than 250,000 SDRs (approximately U.S. $345,000, which fluctuates depending on the daily exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal). Compensation for loss caused by a shipping incident can increase to a maximum of 400,000 SDRs unless Carrier proves that the shipping incident occurred without Carrier’s fault or neglect. Shipping incidents do not include acts of war, hostilities, civil war, insurrection, natural disasters, or intentional acts or omissions of third parties. In cases where the loss or damage was caused in connection with war or terrorism, Carrier’s liability for any personal injury or death (whether occurring during a shipping incident or a non-shipping incident) is limited to the lower of 250,000 SDRs per passenger or 340 million SDRs per ship per incident. Punitive damages are not recoverable for cruises covered by EU Regulation 392/2009.
