About the trip
Setting off from Southampton, Balmoral spends a day at sea before reaching St Mary’s in the Isles of Scilly. The islands are known for white sand beaches and a marine life that feels a world away from the mainland, while Tresco’s Abbey Garden shelters some rare and exotic plants that surprise even those familiar with British gardens.
The cruise then returns to Cornwall with a stop in Falmouth, where the arts scene is interspersed with cafes and harbourside walks. Cornwall’s Eden Project is nearby, a reminder that this part of England isn’t just coasts and coves but thoughtful reinventions of landscape and industry.
With Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ Balmoral, this is a gentle holiday for those who don’t mind a morning start to catch a ferry or a bus for the day. The pace allows time to take an unhurried look at places that many rush past on longer tours.
