Day 4

Breakfast & Dinner

Isles of Scilly

 

Sail to the stunning Isles of Scilly, with the charming St. Mary’s as our destination. This tropical paradise boasts white sandy beaches, exotic vegetation, and breathtaking scenery.

 

St. Mary’s, the largest of the Scilly Isles, is less than 2.5 square miles, with the lively Hugh Town offering sandy beaches, unique shops, cosy pubs, and charming cafés.

 

Important information for the Isle of Scilly excursion: We recommend wearing appropriate clothing and footwear as the weather can be unpredictable.

 

The journey duration depends on the tides and weather, typically taking between 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours. As the ship enters the Atlantic, it crosses a point where multiple ocean currents meet, so the sea may occasionally be rough. If you’re prone to motion sickness, it’s advisable to bring your own medication, as none is available on board.

 

Please note, the sailing to the Isles of Scilly is subject to weather and operational conditions, and an alternative excursion may be offered.

Today, we visit the incredible Eden Project. Explore the lush rainforests of the Rainforest Biome, wander through the Mediterranean Biome among fragrant orange and lemon trees, and discover a diverse array of plants in the 30-acre Outdoor Garden that thrive in the Cornish sun. With its impressive exhibits and vibrant displays, the Eden Project draws visitors from across the globe.
