Following the daily yacht briefing held by the lead crew, the party will set sail to the historic port town of Southampton. Home to the SeaCity Museum, with an interactive model of the Titanic, Southampton has hundreds of years of history to discover. For years, this city was best known as a place you pass through on your way to somewhere else (usually on a cruise or via an Isle of Wight ferry). But recent times have seen a wide array of appealing sights, restaurants and things to do.
