I would love to cruise around the Channel Islands but can’t find one going from UK any ideas please I don’t like flying

P & O and Cunard both do cruises to Jersey according to Google 🙂.

MSC cruise ships go from Southampton to Guernsey. 2 nights on board and a whole day in Guernsey.

Thanks to all for helpful info on Jersey and Guernsey.

Thanks for this thread. As a direct result of reading the suggestions we're booking for a week in Guernsey in June! Our Jersey trip last year was thoroughly enjoyable so DH took no persuasion for a visit to Guernsey. Now, where to stay? Any suggestions for a usefully located but nice hotel?

Definitley the Old Government House Hotel or the Duke of Richmond. Both in St Peter Port and beautifully located.

Thanks. Our travel agent has arranged a good discount so we're staying at the St Pierre Park hotel which looks nice and has good reviews. I'm so happy to be going. Nice to have it to look forward to.

I would add as a slight downside, health insurance is advisable, Channel Island health care isn't reciprocal. Other than that, what gems these islands are. On a massive plus side if you don't like a long journey by plane, a mere half an hour from Gatwick

Happy Holidays to those who are visiting their shores this year.

St Pierre Park is lovely too. It is purpose built. We had a great stay there a few years ago. You will have a great time.

Glad to hear it. It seems to have good reviews. Thank you.

We had 5 days in Guernsey two years ago, it is stunning, I didn’t want to come home. Do take a boat trip to Herm for the day it is paradise.

Great to hear. Boat trips are on our list!

Please don’t be offended, Jersey people understand 😉

Understand what, exactly? Offended about what? Please explain.

Apologies I have been away for a bit.
Sarnia, you have a Guernsey connection so please don’t be prickly.
There has always been a friendly rivalry between the two islands.
