        Grand Aquarium

        Saint-Malo is a historic Breton port enclosed by massive granite ramparts that once shielded a city of corsairs and privateers. Inside the walls, the "Intra Muros" district features a maze of cobbled streets and tall stone mansions, meticulously rebuilt after the devastation of WWII to preserve its medieval soul. Beyond the architecture, the city is defined by the sea; it experiences some of Europe’s most dramatic tides, which transform the landscape twice a day. At low water, sandy causeways emerge to reveal hidden paths to offshore fortresses and the island of Grand Bé, the final resting place of the writer Chateaubriand. This blend of pirate legends, maritime resilience, and the sheer power of the Atlantic makes Saint-Malo one of France’s most atmospheric coastal escapes.

        The UK’s largest cruise port and where many will begin their cruise holiday, Southampton has no shortage of maritime and historical attractions. Discover local landmarks on a walking tour including 30 ancient monuments, learn about the tragic story of the Titanic and escape to the great outdoors at the New Forest National Park. With numerous options for seafood dining and even a free art gallery, Southampton is an undoubtedly great destination for a pre or post-cruise stay.
