McLEAN, VA—By special request, Fun & Fitness Travel Club is offering a 12-night/13-day cruise from Amsterdam to 7 additional ports of call in Ireland, England, and Scotland at their most beautiful time of year in 2026. Cruise ship inventory for this cruise in 2025 is already booked to capacity. The cruise industry today does business like Southwest Airlines. It intentionally overbooks all cruises to be sure all ships sail full. That's why it's imperative to make a fully refundable deposit early for any Fun & Fitness cruise you'd like to take, even in 2026. 


When you make a deposit now, you may cancel any time up to May 2, 2026, for a full 100% deposit refund. No questions asked. This cruise to the British Isles is a Celebrity favorite. The earlier you book it for 2026, the better cabin, price, and amenities you secure.

The saying "Beyond the Pale" comes from Ireland.

In the 12th century, Irish warriors fought off vicious Normans to protect Ireland. The Normans, who were really marauding Vikings, became Christians after seizing England. But they still were hell-bent on taking over Ireland too. Yet the brave Irish refused to relent. One way they did so was to pound into the ground huge, wooden stakes (called pales or poles) marking their homeland boundaries and forbidding Normans to pass entry. The heathen Normans completely ignored any such markers and, without any sense of remorse, would "go beyond the pale," killing, burning, robbing, and stealing from every village in Ireland. They did so "without any bounds of morality at all." Today when a person or organization behaves without any sense of decency, we say, "They went beyond the pale." It's not a pail of water; it's a huge wooden stick pounded into the ground declaring a boundary. Across rural Ireland still today you can see mailboxes attached to Irish pales of yore.
