After some time at leisure to explore Godshill, we travel the short distance to Shanklin. Browse the unique shops in the Old Village, enjoy lunch in one of the many cafes and uncover the town's fascinating history. We return to the hotel to prepare for a special evening when we dress to impress for a drinks reception with the captain to celebrate our cruise’s arrival in New York.

Our journey continues through the historic harbour town of Yarmouth to Cowes, Britain’s yachting capital, located at the mouth of the River Medina. Explore the boutique shops or admire the town’s elegant Victorian-era architecture. After some free time to discover Cowes, we return to the hotel as our mock cruise reaches Montego Bay, Jamaica.
