Cruise Description |
7 Night Cruise sailing from Portland to Swansea aboard Hebridean Princess.
Just off the Cornish coast lies England's enchanting archipelago, the Isles of Scilly. Like a cluster of precious jewels, these islands guarantee a magical, unforgettable experience. A natural wonder where nature thrives and life moves at an easier pace.
Bidding Portland farewell, head west to the Britannia Royal Naval College at Dartmouth where you uncover an intriguing heritage spanning over 150 years. Take a tour to the heart of the college designed by Sir Aston Webb and completed in 1905. Continuing along the south west coast to Fowey, tour one of Cornwall's great secrets and most mysterious estates, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, seat of the Tremayne family for over 400 years. A gentle steam takes you to the largest island of the enchanting Isles of Scilly, to walk the coastal paths and nature trails of St Mary's. Onwards to the sub-tropical oasis of Tresco Abbey Gardens, home to thousands of exotic plants. On the most south-westerly edge of the Isles of Scilly, St. Agnes is totally unspoilt and astonishingly peaceful, whilst Bryher is an island of dramatic contrast - the perfect place to enjoy a taste of untamed Scilly. Immerse yourself in the culture, history and heritage of St. Martin's and relax in the abundance of sea air, sweeping beaches and mild climate. En route to Swansea, pause a while on Lundy, a 400 feet granite outcrop located in the Bristol Channel which is home to Britain's newest bird observatory and a fascinating array of wildlife in a dramatic setting.
