Itinerary

Lowestoft Harbour

Passing by

Depart from Lowestoft Harbour and cruise through one of the East Coast’s busiest commercial ports, supporting the North Sea offshore wind industry. Pass the historic South Pier and, depending on harbour activity, see offshore supply vessels, cargo ships, fishing boats, yachts, workboats, and crew transfer vessels.
Stop 2

Passing by

May pass Claremont Pier, one of Lowestoft’s historic seaside landmarks, with views across the seafront, sandy beaches, and out to the North Sea. Depending on route, sea conditions and customer preferences, this section of coastline may or may not be included, offering glimpses of Lowestoft’s long stretches of beach and traditional seaside frontage.
Pakefield Beach

Passing by

May pass Pakefield Beach, a quieter stretch of Lowestoft’s coastline known for its sandy beach, gentle cliffs and traditional seaside character. Depending on route, sea conditions and customer preferences, this area may be included, offering views along the open shoreline and out across the North Sea.
Kessingland

Passing by

May pass Kessingland Beach and the surrounding cliffs, a more rugged stretch of coastline south of Lowestoft known for its open sands and natural shoreline. Depending on route, sea conditions and customer preferences, travellers may also see the nearby Pakefield Lighthouse, offering a glimpse of the area’s maritime heritage along this quieter coastal section of the North Sea.
Stop 5

Passing by

May pass artificial seabird nesting structures known as ‘kittiwake hotels’, purpose-built installations along the coastline designed to encourage breeding seabird colonies in safe elevated habitats. Depending on route, sea conditions and customer preferences, these structures may be visible offshore, often attracting kittiwakes and other coastal bird species.
Stop 6

Passing by

May pass Benacre Ness, a dynamic and rapidly changing stretch of coastline where shingle banks, marshland and cliffs meet the North Sea. Depending on route, sea conditions and customer preferences, travellers may see a wild, undeveloped landscape shaped by coastal erosion and shifting tides, with rich birdlife often present along this remote section of the shore.
Ness Point

Passing by

May pass Ness Point, the most easterly point of the UK, where travellers can view the meeting of town, coastline and open sea. Nearby, the towering ‘Gulliver’ wind turbine can also be seen offshore, which at the time of installation was the tallest onshore wind turbine in the UK. Depending on route, sea conditions and customer preferences, this landmark section of coast may be included as part of the journey.
Corton Beach

Passing by

May pass Corton Beach, a wide sandy stretch of coastline north of Lowestoft backed by cliffs and open sea views. Depending on route, sea conditions and customer preferences, travellers may also see the historic Lowestoft Lighthouse in the distance, alongside this quieter and more natural section of the East Coast shoreline.
