Blue Funnel Cruises Sightseeing Tour Operators in Woolston, Southampton

About

Blue Funnel Cruises runs sightseeing and party cruises on Southampton Water and the Solent, with its booking office at Ferry House in Ocean Village. Its main vessel, the Ocean Scene, sails from the company's own berth at Millstone Point on Shamrock Quay and has heated saloons, open sundecks, a fully licensed bar and a galley, so trips range from a simple look around the docks to a silver service four course dinner on the water.

Southampton is one of the busiest ports in the country, and the day cruises pass container ships and the big cruise liners when they are alongside, giving passengers a close view of vessels they would normally only see from the shore. The calendar also includes Hamble River trips, themed party nights and traditional riverboat shuffles, and festive lunch cruises in November and December.

The Ocean Scene can be chartered whole for weddings, birthdays, conferences and company entertaining, and the smaller, mostly open launch Jenny Blue takes up to 40 people for private trips around the docks or quieter occasions such as an ashes scattering. Public cruise tickets are bought through the website; private charters are arranged through the office, which is staffed on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday mornings, with emails answered through the week.

Manual wheelchairs are welcome on board, with accessible facilities on the boarding deck, though the upper deck is reached by stairs. Pay and display parking is available at Shamrock Quay.
