Your adventure begins at Southampton Cruise Terminal at 8:00am, where your professional driver will greet you. Relax as you travel north through the scenic English countryside in the comfort of your private, air-conditioned vehicle.

Oxford – The City of Dreaming Spires
Your first destination is Oxford, a university city steeped in over 800 years of academic tradition. At your own pace, wander the cobbled streets, admire the historic colleges, and see iconic landmarks such as the Radcliffe Camera, Bodleian Library, and Sheldonian Theatre.

Oxford has long been a hub of creativity, nurturing great writers like J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and Lewis Carroll. You may also choose to visit Christ Church College, one of the most famous Oxford colleges, whose grand hall inspired Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films.

Blenheim Palace – A Ducal Masterpiece
Your journey continues to Blenheim Palace, one of England’s most celebrated stately homes. Built in the early 1700s, it has been the ancestral seat of the Dukes of Marlborough for over 300 years and remains a symbol of baroque grandeur.

Inside, explore lavish state rooms filled with priceless art and history, while outside you’ll find 2,000 acres of landscaped parkland and formal gardens designed by the legendary Capability Brown. From its connection to Winston Churchill to its architectural beauty, Blenheim offers an unforgettable glimpse into England’s aristocratic heritage.

At the end of your day, your driver will return you to Southampton, arriving in plenty of time for your cruise departure, or to your local hotel if preferred. You’ll return with memories of Oxford’s dreaming spires and Blenheim’s grandeur—an experience to treasure forever.
