Excursions

The fascinating history of Sutton Hoo; the splendid sight of Framlingham Castle; fish and chips at Aldeburgh; cream teas with jam at Tiptree; traditional oysters on Mersea Island.  Or perhaps visitors might fancy gardens, golf, cycling, clay pigeon shooting ...

The Haven Gateway and the East of England has so much to offer.  Use our excursion planner (coming soon) to find excursion ideas just a short coach or train ride away from Harwich International Port.  Why not link up our themed ideas to offer a full day excursion, taking in an area or type of excursion.  Our focus on pages (coming soon) offer ideas around an area - perhaps visiting historic Colchester with its Norman Castle and enjoying the surrounding parklands before indulging in a little retail therapy.

If you plan to stay for a few days before or after your cruise there are plenty of places to stay within the East of England and links through to the East of England's website can help you make the most of your stay.
