You'll have 11 hours hours to explore Newcastle-tyne, United Kingdom, from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing.

As a smaller vessel, the Insignia means a quicker disembarkation in Leith/Edinburgh, Scotland - fewer passengers funneling through the gangway gets you off the ship faster.

Walking from the port to the Royal Mile brings you into the heart of Edinburgh's history.

Your ship arrives in Invergordon, Scotland at 10:00 AM, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off.
