Highlights of this cruise:

Harwich
HARWICH, on the northeastern tip of the peninsula and at the estuary of the rivers Stour and Orwell, has a long history as a port, sending out Elizabethan mariners like Drake and Hawkins on their voyages and providing the dockyards that built the Mayflower, the ship which took the Pilgrim Fathers to America.

Today Harwich is best known as Britain's main North Sea ferry terminal, though since ferry traffic goes no further than Parkeston Quay, this has left the old town, to the east, relatively undisturbed. The old town is a conservation area containing many historic buildings. If you find yourself with time to kill, there's enough to keep you amused for an hour or so, starting with the brightly painted Electric Palace, on King's Quay Street, a purpose-built cinema, fashioned in Edwardian Baroque in 1911 and still going strong.

Newcastle
Newcastle is a city in north-east England, situated inside the metropolitan county of Tyne and Wear and on the north bank of the River Tyne. It is a vibrant friendly city, with a heritage spanning the past 2,000 years.

The River Tyne is spanned by six bridges, which constitute the most famous view of the city. Other attractions include; Earl Grey's Monument, St. Nicholas Cathedral, the Castle Keep, Bessie Surtees' House, and Blackfriars. Jesmond Dean park in the heart of the city is great for a relaxing stroll.

Newcastle also boasts three large shopping centres, many fascinating museums as well as cinemas, theatres presenting a vast range of entertainment, sport and leisure centres, art centres, clubs. restaurants, bistros and coffee shops.
