Cruise Ships

The Isles of Scilly are proud to welcome Cruise Ships from all over the world.

The Scillies make an excellent port of call for all UK cruises, and are popular on European itineraries too. Annually we welcome around 25 ships to the islands and the Council of the Isles of Scilly offer complimentary on-board tourist information for all passengers. This includes maps, day-trip itineraries and boating information, not to mention brochures to help plan a return visit.

Popular day excursions may include: an Arts & Crafts walk and workshop, a visit to the famous Tresco Abbey Garden, a guided walk around the Garrison, a superb brunch overlooking one of our stunning beaches, or shopping for local chocolate and marmalades. Alternatively you could enjoy a marine excursion, joining a boat tour out around the Eastern Isles looking for seals and seabirds and then land on St. Martin's for a tour of a working flower farm and vineyard.

As you come to anchor, you can prepare to make the most of your day on the islands! For more information, itinerary options or excursion ideas contact the Tourist Information Centre.
