British & Irish History and Aussie Heritage FULLY ESCORTED CRUISE & TOUR
With Jim Haynes
I have always wanted to take a tour to Britain and Ireland, incorporating Australian History and Heritage. Finally, after several years of discussing ideas – Travelrite International have made it a reality. It is happening next July/Aug 2026!
The tour begins with four days in London, where we will visit the Maritime Museum and the Natural History Museum to learn the history of James Cook and the First Fleet. We will also explore London, including a tour of 19 rooms in Buckingham Palace
The next stage of our tour is a 12 day cruise from Southampton, we will visit Scotland, the Orkney Islands, the Western Isles, attend the Edinburgh Tattoo and then visit Belfast, Dublin and Cork. We will learn fascinating British, Scottish and Irish history as we go.
The added dimension on the cruise will be presentations by me on the Australian connections to all these places. So we will, at the same time, be exploring Australian history.
We will also visit the Beaches of Normandy and hear some amazing stories about Australians who were involved in the D Day landings.
The tour will conclude with a trip to the city of Bath to visit the fabulous Roman Baths, explore the Georgian world of Jane Austen and visit the grave of our first governor, Captain Arthur Phillip. We will then return to London via Heathrow Airport.
Here is the direct link to Travelrite
Of course, you may wish to extend your time in Europe by arriving before the tour or staying after it concludes. Travelrite can help you with flights and suggestions.
I am very excited about finally being able to do this. It has been a dream of mine for a long time. Robyn and myself, and tour manager Amanda, would love to have your company on this safe, fully-guided tour. We can guarantee friendship, fun and camaraderie, as well as a wonderful exploration of British, Scottish, Irish and Australian history.
The brochure is so comprehensive it needs it own web page….
