How can otherworldly, magical Stonehenge be made even more special? Seabourn has made it so with this early-opening visit that has you exploring this mysterious and inexplicable stone circle and its Visitor Center before the day's opening hours.
This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity arranged by Seabourn is limited to just 50 privileged guests and is an exclusive experience to treasure forever.
You've heard of it, seen the photos, and contemplated your visit, but nothing prepares you for the might and mystery of the world's most famous henge. Stonehenge's origins date back as far as the Pyramids, and it is now known that it was a work in progress between 3000 and 1000 BC. The stones are aligned so that, on the midsummer and midwinter solstices, the sun shines directly through the circle onto the central Heel Stone.
Your arrival in the early morning allows you to spend time at the stones without the crowds -- a chance to meander about this mystical attraction in stillness and quietude.
You will have about 45 minutes at the Stonehenge Visitor Center (during normal opening hours) afterward.
Reboard your coach for a short drive to the ancient city of Salisbury.
Nestled in southern England's rural heartland, Salisbury is a quintessentially English city. Its awe-inspiring centerpiece is Salisbury Cathedral, whose spire dominates the landscape for miles around. There is much to see and do in and around Salisbury, and you will have ample free time to explore the city at your leisure before joining your coach for the return journey to Portland.
Please note: This is an exclusive visit to Stonehenge prior to the site opening to the public for the day. With a maximum of just 50 guests, the exclusivity of this visit is extremely special. Participants must be able to board the coach unassisted; the coach is not wheelchair-lift equipped. The main areas in and around the coach parking area, the Visitor Center and the stone circle are all accessible to wheelchairs via paved paths and grass paths; however, there are no paths on the wider grass landscape. The on-site shuttle carriages are wheelchair accessible. Restrooms are available once the Visitor Center opens for the day.
