For so many people, sailing aboard ships like the beautiful "Port Auckland" marked what were, some of the best years of their lives.  Well, we haven't got the "Port Auckland", but we can help to recreate the magic of those wonderful years.

Voyage to St. Petersburg

Departing May 11th, 2012

After just returning from another fantastic voyage of Maritime Memories, here is some very basic information on the next one we are planning:

Download Brochure

As always, we want to do something special and this one, departing from Portsmouth on May 11th 2012, will take us to Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Russia, where in St. Petersburg, just as we did on that amazing voyage we did to Murmansk, we hope to be able to get the Russians to give all us Maritime Memories something really special.

MV Discovery
Sail with us aboard the beautiful MV Discovery and experience the unhurried relaxation and care-free magic of the Golden Years of Ocean Travel.
They are so pleased with the documentary we produced about the WW2 "Arctic Convoys" to Murmansk, (Shot during that special voyage) that there is every chance they will lay on something special, perhaps even a special première screening, which really would be different from any visit ever made by any other cruise ship and something to tell the family and everyone about.

Fares start from £1,549 for this 16 day voyage, arriving back in Portsmouth (No flying... Hooooooray!) on the 26th May. We'll see and have great times in such terrific ports as Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki, Tallinn (Estonia) St. Petersburg (Two nights), Warnemunde (Germany) and one ting I've always wanted to do... transit the Kiel Canal.

This is an early warning for this voyage as we really do expect it to book fast and while at this

early stage we can't actually guarantee special treatment in Russia, remember, we did it before and we can do it again.

White Star Line's Olympic, sailing from New York
This wonderful painting by Robert Lloyd, of White Star Line's Olympic, sailing from New York early in the last century, helps to conjure up the adventure, romance and excitement that was once so much part of a great sea voyage, which is what Maritime Memories is all about so come on, join us on this very special voyage to St. Petersburg.

If you know of any "Arctic Convoy Veterans" who would like to take this chance to come with us on what I'm sure will be the voyage of a lifetime, get them to give us a call.

So, we hope to have a brochure out within the next six weeks but if you want to contact us now, then just call us on: 00 44 (0) 1273 585391 or 584470 and we can book you in to the cabin of your choice, well ahead of the game.

Looking forward to having you with us.

Kind regards,
