Widely regarded as the greatest female golfer of all time, Hall of Famer Annika Sörenstam is the star host of an exciting new Spotlight Voyage from Regent Seven Seas Cruises setting sail June 23, 2025, from Southampton, England.
On the Golf Spotlight by Annika Sörenstam voyage, guests will enjoy 14 nights of epic exploration in Britain and Ireland aboard the Seven Seas Grandeur, basking in the presence of this golf legend, and playing on six world-renowned championship courses.
If all this wasn’t exciting enough, Tully Luxury Travel can also mark you down for a special two-night, pre-cruise land program June 21 to 23, where you can play the inaugural RSSC Golf Championship held on The Downs Course at the 11,000-acre Golf at Goodwood near Southampton, ranked in Golf World’s Top 100 U.K. courses.

The itinerary is a study in glorious green spaces
Beginning in Southampton, the Seven Seas Grandeur makes its way into the English Channel and around to the Irish Sea to Belfast. Here, guests will have the opportunity to play the illustrious Strand Course at Portstewart Golf Club, as well as at the Royal Belfast Golf Club, Ireland’s oldest club.

Following a stop at the Isle of Man, the voyage continues with a long stay in Liverpool, so you can play golf at both the Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club and the Formby Golf Club.
After that, it’s back across the Irish Sea for soothing shore excursions Dublin, as well as adventure down south to Cork and Waterford, before disembarkation back at Southampton.
The moments in-between all the golfing will definitely be ones to savor.
