The cruise at a glance
The Olsen Way Highlights
This short yet rewarding spring Bank Holiday cruise gives you the chance to uncover the floral highlights of the British Isles. Before revelling in the beauty of the British coastline on a scenic cruise around the Channel Islands, Balmoral will head to the remote island of St Mary’s in the Scilly Isles, home to picturesque countryside, charming towns and historic fortifications. The Cornish coast follows with a call into Falmouth, only accessible to smaller ships. Both destinations on your itinerary boast climates that are perfect for growing plants, and you will be well-placed for finding out why at horticultural sites such as the Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, and Tresco Abbey Gardens.
