Bird Watching

From the decks of the ship you can see a variety of bird life and usually you can see a seagull hitching a ride! There are a number of cruises which we recommend in your area or places to visit which give spectacular vantage points for you to view your feathered friends.

For pre-booked groups a tour round the bridge, engine room and boiler room can be arranged.
