See the absolute icons of England – including a theatrical performance in the West End – and become immersed in local foods and wines through tastings, afternoon tea and an interactive dining experience.

DAY 1

Fly into London Heathrow or London Gatwick Airport. Here you will be met and transferred to your hotel. Although every effort will be made to have your room available prior to the 3:00pm check in, this cannot be guaranteed. Luggage storage will be available should you wish to drop your luggage and start exploring the city.

The remainder of the day and meals are on your own.

DAY 2

London is a city that inspires and amazes! A capital that basks is in its rich history and where around every corner there is something new, yet something very familiar. Today you will have a tour of this majestic city, fully guided by a London expert.

Begin with a visit to Borough Market. This isn’t just the most exciting locale on the British food scene—it’s also the beating heart of Southwark, a gastronomic hotspot in its own right for more than a millennium. Your visit here will show you just how fascinating and diverse British food can be as you meet the proud locals making it all happen. You’ll follow the most delicious route possible through a corner of the city that’s always had food at its heart.

The tour continues with an opportunity to take in some of London’s most iconic landmarks. Peer along Downing Street, home of the British Prime Minister, circle around Trafalgar Square, see vibrant Piccadilly Circus and then take a short walk for a photo stop outside Buckingham Palace.

The tour ends with a quintessentially British Afternoon Tea. Afternoon Tea was introduced to Britain in the early 1840s and has been enjoyed by many ever since. Whilst the concept is simple, when expertly executed the memories are remembered longer than the food itself. Enjoy a fine selection of sandwiches and sweet treats accompanied by a range of traditional teas before ending the tour back at the hotel.

The remainder of the day is at your leisure and dinner is on your own.

DAY 3

Studded with lush countryside greenery, rolling hills, beautiful towns, exquisite vineyards and delicious food, Kent is the oldest county in England and known, quite rightly, as The Garden of England.

After breakfast, meet your guide and enjoy a drive into the heart of the region, through fields of market produce, tomatoes, onions, orchards of apples and the ever-present hop fields. Pause in the delightful village of Chilham, with its timber framed cottages huddled below the stately Manor House at the head of the old square.

Visit the church and see the ancient Yew tree which took root way back in 690AD.

Pause for lunch in a traditional Kent pub before continuing to an award winning vineyard. Learn the processes and methods to transform fruit into great wines along with a guided tasting tour, all while taking in the stunning views. Here the visit ends and you will begin the journey back to London.

Back in London the remainder of the day is at your leisure and dinner is on your own.

DAY 4

After breakfast, enjoy a leisurely morning followed by a visit to the world famous West End. Home to 40 theatres all showcasing the most talented actors, actresses, directors, and designers in the world. The oldest, Theatre Royal Drury Lane, was founded in 1663, however, most of the buildings are from the Victorian era and have been carefully refurbished to keep them in use.

From Les Misérables to Kinky Boots, Disney’s The Lion King to Wicked, London’s West End has some of the biggest and most diverse professional shows in history. Along with New York City's Broadway theatre, West End theatre represents the highest level of commercial theatre in the world. Memorable music, heartfelt plots, relatable characters and sensational performances – all add up to an incredible, unmissable experience.

Today you will enjoy a wonderful matinee performance in London’s West End (exact show to be advised within 21 days of sailing) and then embark on an incredible culinary adventure. Seats will be located in the Stalls (ground floor).

Chef’s Tables are an immersive and captivating experience. This exclusive, private event offers a dynamic and interactive dining experience, in which a series of dishes are cooked in front of you and explained at every stage. A multi-course tasting menu is created using cutting edge techniques, the imagination of fantastic chefs and use the finest ingredients, all of which come together to create the ultimate dining experience for our group. With your taste buds satisfied, the evening ends and you will return to your hotel. (Note: beverages are not included with the meal – guests may purchase their preference).

DAY 5

After breakfast and check out, meet your guide and begin your journey to the ship via one of the wonders of the world and the best-known prehistoric monument in Europe ‘Stonehenge’. Entry to the site is included but the tour is self-guided.

You will be accompanied from the hotel by a professional tour guide, who will enlighten and entertain you with the history of the local area as you travel.

DAY 2

London is a city that inspires and amazes! A capital that basks in its rich history where around every corner there is something new, yet something very familiar. We take you on a tour of this majestic city, fully guided by a London expert.

Your day begins in a Royal Palace after breakfast at your hotel and a short drive outside the city.

On the banks of the River Thames, Hampton Court Palace started life in 1515 as a magnificent brick stately home for Cardinal Thomas Wolsey. Seized by Henry VIII at Wolsey's downfall, the Palace was enlarged and became home for Henry and wife number two, Anne Boleyn.

Explore with a Hampton Court guide the Tudor bedrooms, oak panelled corridors, and extensive Royal kitchens. Visit the magnificent chapel and banqueting hall. See how the Palace received a makeover by Sir Christopher Wren during the late 17th century reign of William and Mary. Enjoy the works of art from the Royal Collection on display throughout the building and take time to stroll around the grounds, admiring the fountains and getting yourself lost in the famous Hampton Court maze!

Return to the city for a superb 2-course lunch in a top London restaurant to enjoy a ‘Taste of Britain’ menu followed by a cruise on the river Thames. Enjoy a glass of champagne as you pass by the iconic Tower Bridge, St Paul's Cathedral, and the Palace of Westminster.

In the afternoon enjoy a guided panoramic tour of the city, starting from Parliament and Westminster Abbey, peer along Downing Street, home of the British Prime Minister, circle around Trafalgar Square, see vibrant Piccadilly Circus and the opulent Albert Memorial and view the city's famous museums such as the Victoria and Albert and the Science Museum. Head into Knightsbridge to drive by Harrods and then take a short walk for a photo stop outside Buckingham Palace before returning to your hotel at the end of this entertaining and rewarding day.

Please note: Parts of the itinerary may be reversed depending on local traffic conditions.

Upon returning to your hotel, the evening is at spent at your leisure, dinner is on your own.

DAY 3

After breakfast at your hotel, begin the day with a journey to England's West Country, to the elegant city of Bath, famed for its therapeutic hot springs, a long and varied Roman history plus the beautiful terraces, crescents and circuses of the 18th Century that adorn the residential area of the city.

Bath's foundations go back to Celtic times when the springs were first discovered, and the healing properties realized. Enjoying the warm waters, the Roman invaders soon arrived in the first century and called this place Aquae Sulis turning it into one of the most important religious centers and military settlements in the northern part of the empire.

Through the Saxon era and the Mediaeval period up to the city's new foundation as a resort for Georgian aristocrats, making the three-day journey from the capital, the wealthy elite would take the waters to cure themselves of rheumatic diseases, stiffness of the joints and gout.

On arrival in Bath there will be a guided tour where you will walk along the original Roman pavement, before entering the Roman Baths to see the hot baths and remains of the temple of Sulis Minerva.

Next, take a drive though the delightful rolling hills and meandering streams of the Cotswolds, to honey-coloured stone villages down narrow country lanes. Time seems to have been given very little chance to march forward around these parts. Cottages of 17th century weavers’ homes stand next to chuckling streams, gentle rolling green hills and hidden valleys that stretch across these limestone uplands. With an expert guide on board your coach you will set about exploring this area and meander through this wonderful landscape.

Visit Burford where the old weavers’ houses cascade down to the valley of the river Windrush below and see Stow on the Wold with its ancient marketplace and hilltop views. Enjoy a hearty pub lunch in an old English hostelry during your journey around the Cotswold Hills as well as photo stops and guided walks in each of the villages you call into.

Please note: Parts of the itinerary may be reversed depending on local traffic conditions.

Back in London at your hotel, the remainder of the evening is at your leisure and dinner is on your own.

DAY 4

After breakfast and check out, begin your journey to the ship via one of the wonders of the world and the best-known prehistoric monument in Europe ‘Stonehenge’.

DAY 2

London is a city that inspires and amazes! A capital that basks in its rich history where around every corner there is something new, yet something familiar. We take you on a tour of this majestic city, fully guided by a London expert.

Start this day of discovery with a tour of the Crown Jewels within the historic Tower of London.

You will be met by one of the guardians of this royal fortress upon arrival - a magnificently dressed Yeoman Warder, or 'Beefeater' who will show you symbols of over 800 years of monarchy. Marvel at the Imperial State Crown and gaze in wonder at the Cullinan diamond, the largest clear-cut diamond in the world. An amazing collection of intricate jewellery and precious metals which are still in use today for coronations and special events.

Note: Crown Jewels tour may not be exclusive to RSSC

There is plenty of time to explore the rest of this ancient fortress, see the site of executions at the scaffold, visit the Beauchamp Tower adorned with the graffiti of prisoners over 500 years ago. Climb the thousand-year-old White Tower and learn the gruesome history of the Bloody Tower.

This is followed by a 2-course lunch in a top London restaurant to enjoy a ‘Taste of Britain’ menu followed by a cruise on the Thames River. Sip Champagne as you pass by the iconic Tower Bridge, St Paul's Cathedral and the Palace of Westminster.

In the afternoon enjoy a guided panoramic tour of the city, starting from Parliament and Westminster Abbey, peer along Downing Street, home of the British Prime Minister, circle around Trafalgar Square, see vibrant Piccadilly Circus and the opulent Albert Memorial and view the city's famous museums such as the Victoria and Albert and the Science Museum.

Upon returning to your hotel, the evening is at spent at your leisure, dinner is on your own.

DAY 3

Travel to a surprisingly unique and deeply fascinating corner of Britain, the beautiful county of Kent, with its lush green landscape, bountiful orchards, fruit markets and bustling vegetable farms it is known, quite rightly, as The Garden of England.

But Kent is not just a collection of charming villages and narrow country lanes, its proximity to the continent has made it both a rewarding and dangerous place to be. Whether it be Roman or Norman invaders, the arrival of Christianity through St Augustine, or French Huguenot refugees escaping persecution, the county of Kent has seen it all.

More recently, though, it was in the firing line from Luftwaffe during World War Two, specifically the Battle of Britain in 1940. The sky over the county echoed to the sound of dogfights between the Royal Air Force and the enemy.

Enjoy a drive into the heart of the region, through fields of market produce, tomatoes, onions, orchards of apples and the ever-present hop fields.

Pay a visit to the Battle of Britain memorial that overlooks the famous White Cliffs of the South Coast. From here, as we look out to the French coast, we make the short journey to Dover Castle, the largest castle in England. Visit the 2,000-year-old Roman lighthouse, Henry II's magnificent 12th century stone keep and explore the extensive range of tunnels dating from the Napoleonic Wars and World War Two.

The next stop is the award winning Gusbourne Vineyard. As a founding member of Sustainable Wines of Great Britain, Gusbourne carries an accreditation that reflects the most exacting environmental standards. The visit begins with a glass of sparkling wine on arrival followed by an exclusive vineyard tour. Learn the processes and methods to transform fruit into great wines, all while taking in the stunning views. The tour concludes with a 2- course, locally sourced lunch and tutored wine tasting.

Once the visit ends, begin the journey back to London. Pause in the delightful village of Chilham on the way back. With its timber framed cottages huddled below the stately Manor House at the head of the old square. Visit the church and see the ancient Yew tree which took root way back in 690AD.

Back in London, the remainder of the evening is at your leisure and dinner is on your own.
