SS Great Britain

Brunel's SS Great Britain (Day of Arrival)
Today you visit Brunel's SS Great Britain, once the largest ship in the world, hailed as "the greatest experiment since the creation". It became the first iron steam ship to cross the Atlantic on its maiden voyage from Liverpool to New York in 1845. You have exclusive after-hours access on board this world-changing ship, enjoying a 3-course set meal as you relive the sights, sounds and smells of life on board a Victorian SS passenger vessel.

Saphos Train

Saphos Train Experience to Plymouth
You depart the hotel this morning as your driver walks you on foot the short walk (0.5 miles) to Bristol Temple Meads Station to meet the Saphos Train for your iconic journey to Plymouth. Upon arrival, you will be served a prosecco bellini, followed by bucks' fizz! Once you board the train, you'll have a full English or fish breakfast, followed by late morning pastries while you sit back and relax whilst taking in the views around you! You will travel today in one of Britain's most luxurious trains, steeped in elegance and sophistication. The journey to Plymouth takes around 4 hours, so there will be ample time to enjoy the journey! You arrive in Plymouth at approx. 1:00pm, where you will have around 4 hours before your return journey to Bristol. A local coach company will transport you into the city centre, where a local attraction is included today (exact attraction TBC nearer the time of travel). Included on your return journey to Plymouth is a five-course set dinner and half a bottle of wine per person. Your driver will meet you upon your return to Bristol to walk you back to the hotel.
