Shopping Opportunities, Moderate activity

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Your excursion begins when you board your motorcoach in Southampton. Your first destination in Winchester is the famous Cathedral. Outside, the church is adorned with a Gothic façade, which was added in the 14th century. Inside, the elaborately carved choir stalls feature flowers and plants, owls and monkeys, dragons, knights and green men, 12th century wall paintings, medieval carvings, and contemporary art. The cathedral's library contains over 4,000 books, including several illuminated manuscripts from the Middle Ages including the beautifully illuminated Winchester Bible. Did you know that author Jane Austin is buried here? Her grave is marked with a commemorative plaque. After your tour, you can walk into the heart of the city and do a little exploring and shopping on your own before heading back to your ship.
