Guest Speaker

BILL GILES OBE - METEOROLOGIST
Bill Giles’s story is a fascinating one. After joining the Meteorological Office in 1957, he was sent to Christmas Island to observe the meteorological effects of the H-bomb tests, then worked as an observer with the RAF and as a lecturer at the Met Office’s training college, before his broadcasting career began. He became head of all BBC Weather Services for the Met Office in 1983 and received the OBE 1995.




Your Accommodation


Ocean Majesty

Ocean

All cabins are well-appointed and pleasantly furnished. Each cabin has its own private shower, washbasin and wc, telephone, satellite TV with film channel, three radio channels of entertainment and air-conditioning. Cabin categories J and K have DVD players and DVDs will be available for hire on board.

If you intend to make the most of the ship’s facilities and the shore excursions on offer, you may only need your cabin to be a base in which to settle at night. The most economical option is an inside two-bedded cabin, on Jade deck in category A. However, if you think you will want to spend more time in your cabin, you may want to pay a little more for an outside cabin with a window or porthole, or for a cabin on a higher deck. Categories D and E have a porthole, and all other categories have a larger window. A limited number of double beds are available in category I, and all category K cabins are double bedded. In some cabins in categories A, F, G, H, I, and J an additional upper berth is available, and an additional two upper berths in some cabins in categories A and G. In these, there will be a reduction of up to 60% for extra adults sharing a cabin with two full fare paying passengers – please ask our Holiday Advisors for further information.

Single cabins are available in categories D and E. Some twin cabins are also available for single occupancy in Categories A to I at a supplement of 75% on the prices shown in the price panels.

Whichever category you choose, everyone on board enjoys access to all the ship’s facilities, as well as the attentive service of a cabin steward who will see to your every need throughout the day – a level of service unique to cruising.

Please note A supplement of £25 per person is payable if you wish to choose a particular cabin number.

Your Itinerary

DAY 1 Friday 26 June Harwich

Join the Ocean Majesty in time for our 4pm sailing.

DAY 2 Leith

From the historic port of Leith, you can visit Edinburgh, Scotland's busy capital city. Take a stroll along the Royal Mile, wander around the shops on Princes Street, or marvel at the imposing castle, sat on volcanic rock overlooking the city. In Leith itself, why not visit the famous Royal Yacht Britannia, permanently moored here.

DAY 3 Cruising

Explore the ship and get to know your fellow passengers as we sail around Scotland.

DAY 4 Belfast

Set between the sea and the rolling hills, Belfast welcomes its visitors with an air of excitement. Highlights include the City Hall, dominating the centre and built of Portland stone in Classical Renaissance style; Queen’s University; the Botanic Gardens; and the fascinating Ulster Museum. Join a shore excursion along the beautiful North Antrim coast to visit the Giant’s Causeway – the only UNESCO World Heritage Site in Northern Ireland. This fantastic coastline of black basalt columns, white chalk and sandy beaches, was created by volcanic activity around 60 million years ago.

DAY 5 Dublin

Occupying a beautiful location spread out along the banks of the River Liffey, Dublin boasts the largest concentration of Georgian architecture in the world. It is a small city and many visitors are surprised to find that so much is within walking distance. Shore excursions include a fascinating city tour visiting Trinity College to see the Book of Kells, an illuminated manuscript believed to be the work of the monks of Iona who fled to Kells in AD 806. Whilst here you may like to visit the famous 65-metre Long Room, home to more than 200,000 ancient books.

DAY 6 Falmouth

At the southern end of the Fal Estuary, the Cornish harbour of Falmouth is surrounded by beautiful coastline with wooded creeks and inlets. The area boasts excellent sandy beaches and a vibrant town, where narrow cobbled streets lead down to the water's edge.

DAY 7 Cruising

Make the most of your floating hotel today as you cruise around the south coast of England.

DAY 8 London

The final leg of our journey takes us to the Thames River, where we sail into London for an unforgettable view that for many will be the highlight of our cruise. It is a fantastic experience to watch the arms of Tower Bridge open to let the Ocean Majesty pass, so make sure you're on deck for the spectacle. We berth in London at midday.

DAY 9 London

Enjoy a second full day in this incredible city. Perhaps hit the shops on Oxford Street, or take a stroll through one of the many parks to be found. Alternatively, there are plenty of museums to capture your interest. Our shore excursions will give you a great insight into this historic city.

DAY 10 Sunday 5 July Harwich

Our cruise comes to an end as we arrive in Harwich this morning and disembark after breakfast.
