Cruise Port Guide
The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Step inside the dramatic clifftop walls of Castell Criccieth with a Cadw expert guide. This medieval Welsh fortress commands sweeping Cardigan Bay views — a bucket-list moment for history lovers.
Conquer the 1,085 m summit of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) — the highest mountain in Wales and England — with a private expert mountain guide. The views from the top are among the most dramatic in Britain.
Board a lovingly restored narrow-gauge steam locomotive and glide through the heart of Eryri National Park — one of the most spectacular railway journeys in the British Isles. A living heritage experience that doubles as a scenic odyssey.
Explore the boyhood home and riverside grave of David Lloyd George — Britain's most radical Prime Minister — in the idyllic village of Llanystumdwy, just minutes from Criccieth. An intimate, scholarly insight into the statesman who shaped modern Britain.
Paddle the pristine waters of Cardigan Bay — home to one of Europe's largest resident bottlenose dolphin pods — with an expert sea-kayaking guide on a private small-group adventure from Criccieth's beach.
Commission a fully bespoke, chauffeured private tour of the spectacular Llŷn Peninsula with Simply Nice Tours — Criccieth's own acclaimed local expert. Archaeology, hidden coves, ancient pilgrim churches, and gourmet Welsh produce, all at your pace.
