do the docks

It's back! For one weekend only on 29 & 30 August 2009, the Do The Docks tour returns, taking lucky passengers on a fantastic trip around Southampton's Quayside - all in aid of Oakhaven Hospice.

This exclusive, behind-the-scenes look around the Port of Southampton coincides with one of the busiest weekends of the year, with the port playing host to no fewer than nine cruise ships in two days. You will be able to get "up close and personal" with some of the world's largest and most luxurious cruise ships. On Saturday, the Grand Princess, Independence of the Seas, Queen Mary 2, Black Watch and Oceana are in port, and on, Sunday, Aurora, Oriana, Queen Victoria and Ventura.

Thanks to the support of APB Southampton, we're offering the tour completely FREE - tickets will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
