ITINERARY
Day 1: Travel the scenic route to Newcastle with refreshment stops on the way.
Day 2: We travel the short distance to Hartlepool for a full day to enjoy The Tall Ships. At centre stage will be the ships themselves with the larger class A and B vessels berthed in Victoria Harbour at PD Ports and the smaller ships of less than 8m beam berthed in Hartlepool Marina. Visitors will have the opportunity to walk along the quayside and take in the sights, sounds and smells of the magnificent vessels and their dominating sails and masts. They will be able to go on board ship, meet the captains and crew, and in some cases, go out on the open sea for a day's sail. A Tall Ships Village will link the two berthing sites and will have the buzz of an international street theatre, music stages, exhibitions and food from around the world.
