One way trip from Poole to Southampton

About

One way trip to Southampton, departing Poole Quay, passengers make their own way back to Poole. (coach transport may be booked – see separate form). See the sights of Poole Harbour, passing Brownsea Island and Sandbanks, Old Harry Rocks, Hengistbury Head, The Needles and Southampton Water, where we will pass the cruise ships Disney Dream and Explorer III in berth.

As part of your cruise, see the impressive engine room with its original steam engines at work and the bridge, with its traditional instruments and gleaming brasswork; admire the ship’s steam assisted steering gear (similar to that used on Titanic); talk to the Captain and our volunteer crew; pass close to the great ocean liners and container ships; walk the teak decks; relax in the Saloon with our wide range of refreshments including tea / coffee; real ale; a range of bottled beers; wine and hot and cold food, available on all trips. A pay car park is available 5 mins walk from the berth in Poole.

Children will have fun with our interactive Shieldhall Log Book, collecting stickers from various stations on board!

Please note that there is a coach return available to take you back to Poole after this cruise at an additional cost.
