04 Aug – 14 Aug 2021 10 nights From £2,499pp

This special voyage visits the Isle of Wight during Cowes Week. A remarkable way to see world-class sailing action, with champion yachtsmen and sailing enthusiasts all taking to the water. We’ll also have an exclusive opportunity to join the celebrations, which include a dazzling firework display.

While on the Isle of Wight, we recommend sampling the afternoon tea at Northwood House Country Manor. There’s the option of a high-speed RIB ride or, for a taste of British culture, you could visit the home of Victorian poet, Lord Tennyson, at Farringford House. We then sails on to Dartmouth, with its wild moorlands and river valleys.

In Falmouth, wander around the harbour’s quaint galleries and quirky shops offering woolly hats, Cornish pasties and sweet homemade fudge. From Falmouth, it’s around an hour to the Eden Project’s giant geodesic Biomes; or visit Tintagel and Land’s End. We cross the ocean to the Isles of Scilly to discover local markets, National Maritime treasures and white-sand beaches; before heading to explore both St Peter Port in Guernsey and St Helier in Jersey.
