We're off on our 2nd 7 night Viking cruise in a fortnight with stops in Liverpool, Isles of Scilly, Falmouth and Portland.
Saga has also released 6 short cruises (6 nights) to replace cancelled ones during August.
It was really good to be back at sea on the new Viking ship last month and their Covid protocols made us feel very safe :)

Have a great trip, for a while last year, every time I called into the office I was looking at a couple of the Viking ships - they were parked down the channel a bit.

Our bedroom window overlooks the Bideford Bar and Lundy Island and I have seen some pretty big ships coming up the Bristol Channel.
It must be on some of the U.K. cruise routes.
Empty vessels .. and all that
