The Historic Dockyard is home to the renowned Henry VIII's flagship Mary Rose, giving great insight into life at sea in the 16th century. The iconic Spinnaker Tower stands gracefully over the historic harbor and the Solent. Sample fish and chips in a traditional pub overlooking the harbor entrance in Old Portsmouth, where fishermen, port workers, and naval seamen once mingled.

    Viewed from the sea, Saint-Malo is an impressive sight, fringed by fortified bastions and gently sloping beaches. We'll anchor off the town and use our Zodiacs to go ashore. A circular walk along the ramparts offers the best views of the town and surrounding islands. Follow the historical trail within the old city walls through a maze of cobbled streets and visit Demeure de Corsaire to learn about the feared corsairs and the town's pirate heritage. You can walk to Ile du Grand Be at low tide or join an excursion to visit the Abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel.
