Isle of Wight - Shanklin By The Sea

This trip offers a perfect mix of sightseeing, relaxation and seaside experiences.

We start the journey by stopping at Gunwharf Quays for shopping or lunch before taking the ferry from Portsmouth to Fishbourne.

Escape to picturesque Shanklin on the Isle of Wight and enjoy lovely excursions on our great-value itinerary, with included a circular island tour taking in Cowes and the Needles.

Don’t miss the opportunity to explore even more of the island on our optional excursions, including Osborne House (2026), Queen Victoria’s stunning former residence / Carisbrooke Castle (2027), a fascinating Anglo-Saxon fort turned royal prison and tranquil garden retreat. You can also enjoy a journey on the Isle of Wight Steam Railway, taking in the island’s beautiful countryside along the way.
