Ceegeefl Posted March 15, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Has anyone done the Britain at War excursion at the Dover stop on the British Isles Explorer cruise? We are trying to decide between that and going into Canterbury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRH Posted March 15, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 15, 2023 We have not done it but are scheduled on it this April. We’ve been to Canterbury which is lovely. Pretty little town and the Cathedral is impressive. The Britain at War is all day while Canterbury is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTtravelers Posted March 19, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Hi Ceegeefl: Since nobody seems to be chiming in, I can offer some comments. We spent 3 days in Canterbury (on a land tour) and loved it. 3-1/2 hours would be a real rush. A special experience is to be able to attend Evensong at the Canterbury Cathedral. But I doubt you would have time to do this. From Wikedpedia: There has been a choral tradition at Canterbury Cathedral for 1400 years. The cathedral choir consists of up to 25 boy choristers and 12 lay clerks and choral scholars. The boys are aged eight to thirteen. There are 4 universities, and a dynamic beer scene. They have even recovered yeasts from St Augustine's ruins over 1,000 years old, and are making beer with them. And you wouldn't have time to do the "roof tour" (long story how we got to do this, but this opportunity of a lifetime would never, ever happen in the US). The Battle of Britain center and monuments really make you consider what happened during WWII. A bit emotional, at least for me. You cannot go wrong with either choice. Have a great cruise! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
