Once again we have come to the end of the seasonal programme of day excursion packages to/from the island. We are currently planning for 2011 and will post details here once the scheduling is complete.

As a taster we expect that inbound to the Island we will have trips to the the TT and S100 Races.

The price of these packages normally includes ferry travel, light meal voucher for on board the ferry, coach trip around the course, the coach also drops you at a popular vantage point to watch the racing before taking you back to the terminal for your return ferry.

For those of you looking to get off the Island for a day we will once again have a great selection of trips for all ages - Chester Zoo which is a family favourite or how about a visit to Alton Towers for the thrill seekers.

Gullivers World and Camelot theme parks are most suited to the younger children.

Gardening addicts are catered for with trips to Tatton Park and Southport Flower Shows and retail therapy is available with trips to the Trafford Centre and Cheshire Oaks.

The price of these package day trips include ferry travel, coach transfers and entry tickets where applicable - many even include a light meal voucher for on board the ferry saving you valuable time when you get to your chosen destination.

These trips can all be booked on line through WWW.STEAM-PACKET.COM . More information on these trips will appear here in due course.
