We head south to Bournemouth to The Mercure Queens Hotel for a single night stay, dinner, bed and breakfast. The coach will transfer you to the ferry for a five-hour crossing to St. Helier and The Merton Hotel. It’s our usual base whilst we stay on the Island, with The Aquadome and leisure facilities.

During your stay, you will have Grandstand seats for the amazing “Battle of The Flowers”. Large floats covered in flowers parade around the Arena accompanied by musicians, dancers and bands, creating a memorable Carnival experience. There will be a late lunch at The Hotel on this day. Another day will be a coach tour around the island with a local guide, giving you the opportunity to see where you would like to revisit (at your own expense) on the two free days or you can just enjoy the Hotel facilities.
