The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Land on Inner Farne itself, walk among nesting puffins and arctic terns so close they brush your head, and stand where St Cuthbert lived as a hermit.
A late-afternoon boat threading the outer skerries as grey seals haul out and the light turns gold over Lindisfarne Castle in the distance.
One boat, one day: a slow cruise through the Farne wildlife colonies followed by landing on Holy Island to walk the priory ruins and castle.
A small private boat chartered for photographers, positioned patiently against cliffs and skerries for the shot, not the schedule.
Wander the wind-scoured ruins of the priory where Christianity took hold in Anglo-Saxon Northumbria, then climb the small castle above the bay.
A short, unglamorous walk around the working harbour that actually explains the fishing village you're sailing from, ending at a working smokehouse.
You know what to do on the day. Here is the trip it belongs to — each one opens as a whole plan, not a list: where to fly in, every port, what it runs.
