Immerse yourself in Austen's England with this captivating shore excursion! Choose between a 4 or 6-hour journey, both leading you to the heart of her world. The 6-hour option begins with a poignant visit to Winchester, exploring the magnificent Cathedral where she found her final rest. Both tours then transport you to the idyllic village of Chawton, allowing you to walk the rooms of her beloved cottage, where her most celebrated works were penned. Discover the very landscapes that shaped her timeless stories, directly from your Southampton Cruise Terminal.

Massive central tower and a blend of Norman and Gothic architecture.

Historic Winchester

(6-hour tour only)
Your shore excursion begins with a seamless transfer from your cruise terminal to the historic city of Winchester. Here, we delve into England's ancient capital, starting with the magnificent Winchester Cathedral, resting place of Jane Austen and Saxon kings.

Our exploration continues, passing the prestigious Winchester College, alma mater of former prime minister Rishi Sunak, and the evocative ruins of the Bishop's Palace. A serene stroll along the River Itchen leads us to the legendary Great Hall, where the Round Table sparks tales of King Arthur. For a touch of local tradition, enjoy an optional complimentary beer at a historic almshouse. We'll trace Austen's final days, walking past her doctor's home and through the grounds of Winchester College, concluding our journey into this city's rich past.

Chawton: In Austen's Footsteps

(6-hour & 4-hour tour)
We now move on to the charming village of Chawton, where we step into the world of Jane Austen at her meticulously preserved home. This 17th-century cottage, where she penned masterpieces like "Mansfield Park" and "Emma," offers an intimate glimpse into her life. Explore rooms filled with original furnishings, including her writing table and a cherished quilt, and stroll through the tranquil garden that inspired her timeless stories. The museum provides an immersive experience, celebrating Austen's enduring legacy through engaging exhibits and programs.

Throughout your shore excursion, your knowledgeable guide will provide fascinating insights into history and culture, ensuring a comfortable and enriching experience. We'll conclude our tour with a timely return to Southampton Cruise Terminal.
