Cruise Port Guide
The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
A private, expert-led walk through Rye's cobbled medieval streets, timbered houses, and smugglers' history with a local historian. Intimate, unhurried, and rich in storytelling.
A chauffeured, private half-day exploring the marshes, ancient churches, and windswept coastline beyond Rye with a knowledgeable local driver-guide. Scenic, unhurried, and off the typical circuit.
An atmospheric, small-group evening tour through Rye's shadowy alleys and reputedly haunted buildings, led by a storyteller steeped in local legend. Immersive and theatrical.
A beautifully staged sound-and-light show over a detailed scale model of Rye, narrating the town's 700-year history in 20 immersive minutes — a refined orientation before exploring further.
An intimate five-course tasting menu showcasing Rye Bay's renowned scallops, local lamb, and seasonal produce, paired with wines, in a limited-seating dining room.
A private, expert-led walk through the wetlands and shingle habitats of Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, home to rare birdlife and striking coastal scenery.
