What could be more romantic or potentially exciting than going out to sea on a traditional sailing ship? Although Albatros is only a century old she possesses enough mystique to conjure up a begone era without any of the unpleasant aspects such as scurvy and an excess of fleas!

Albatros is a fascinating venue for anniversaries and other special occasions offering groups a number of options with respect to duration of voyage and destination. You may choose to visit ports and travel along coastlines of great natural beauty or you may be more drawn to cultural center's. Tide and time permitting, the choice is yours.

What you do whilst aboard is very much down to your wishes at the time. You can simply relax and let life drift timelessly by or you can take the opportunity to learn about sailing and join whoever is on watch and see navigation sills being put into action. It is your trip and your time, so use it as you will.

We offer two cruising options, self-catering and for the ultimate treat, an all-inclusive package. The former makes the Albatros more attainable to many, and offers a very different experience from the full board option. The tips is more reminiscent of camping afloat with individuals cooking for themselves and their group using their own sleeping bags. For some this will be a more attractive option suggesting those bygone days before mobile phones and personal stereos!

For the ultimate in pampering ( you know you deserve it! ) try out all-inclusive trips where you can truly unwind to the sound of lapping waves and the flap of sails whilst someone else does the hard work of hoisting them and avoiding passing seals. So, take off your watch and pick up that book you never quite had time to read....

Albatros is available at ports throughout the UK but her 'normal' point of departure and arrival will be Wells in South Norfolk. In cases of adverse weather conditions, it may be necessary to end a trip at either Lowerstoft or Great Yarmouth but this is unlikely.

Finally, there is also the option of chartering Albatros alongside the quay. In choosing this, it is possible to cater for a larger number of guests ( max 75 ). Ideal for such events as wedding receptions, anniversaries and birthday parties.
