Part one30 Oct – 6 Nov
The Crossing
Seven nights on the Queen Mary 2, from Brooklyn to Southampton: the only ship still sailing a scheduled transatlantic service, built as an ocean liner for North Atlantic weather.
Good to know aboard
- The clocks go forward. An hour at a time on most days, about four times on this crossing. Recent crossings have changed them at noon, so lunch comes quickly.
- The Daily Programme arrives in your stateroom each evening with the next day's times, dress code and events.
- Dress codes: on Gala Evenings, a dinner jacket or dark suit and tie, and an evening or cocktail dress. Other evenings are smart: collared shirts, smart trousers, dresses or smart separates.
- The ship is nearly a quarter-mile long. Use the lift bank nearest where you're going, and take the folding chair for trips to the far end.
- Your phone may get confused. US clocks fall back on Sunday 1 November and the ship changes time too. Trust the ship's clocks.

The ship docks
Breakfast aboard
The Britannia or the Kings Court.
Disembark with the wheelchair escort
When your group is called, the mobility team takes you through the terminal to collect your bags.
Part two6–10 Nov
London
From the ship to HMS Victory in Portsmouth, then four days in London.
Before you start
Good to know
- The ship docks in SouthamptonHMS Victory is 20 miles east in Portsmouth, which is on the way to London. That's Friday.
- Sunday 8 November is Remembrance SundayWestminster is packed that morning, so Sunday starts in Bloomsbury. Paper poppies are sold everywhere; wearing one is a kind gesture.
- Bring the folding wheelchair everywhereThe London Eye has none to lend, and loan chairs elsewhere are first come, first served.
How to get a black cab
Every licensed London black cab has a built-in wheelchair ramp, seats five and takes cards. Typical fares around central London are £15–30.
- At the hotel: ask the front desk to call one. Allow about 15 minutes.
- On the street: wave at any black cab with its orange TAXI light on.
- By app: FREENOW books licensed black cabs. Download it and add a card before you go.
- At a restaurant or attraction: ask the staff to call one for you.

Day 1 · Friday 6 November1 of 4
From the ship to Portsmouth
Typical 55°F / 46°F · rain 1 day in 3 · sunset 4:30 pm
The ship docks at Southampton
Breakfast aboard. Ask the Purser's Office the day before for a wheelchair escort through the terminal and a porter for the bags.
Meet your taxi at the terminal
Your pre-booked minivan waits at the terminal taxi rank. Running early or late? Call them.
Radio Taxis is the Southampton taxi firm the city's tourist office lists for cruise passengers. West Quay Cars is the backup.
Drop the bags with Stasher Book ahead
At the Premier Inn Portsmouth Dockyard on Queen Street. Show your Stasher booking at reception. The driver waits. The Dockyard won't admit large cases.
Stasher is a website that books luggage storage at hotels and shops. About £6.85 a bag.
Taxi on to Victory Gate
Two minutes away. Pay the driver here; about 10% is a normal tip.
Day 1 · Friday 6 November2 of 4
Nelson's flagship
Into the Historic Dockyard Book ahead
Buy the "3 Ships or Museums" ticket online before you go (£46 each, valid a year): HMS Victory, the Mary Rose and one more. At the desk, ask about a free carer ticket and a loan wheelchair.
HMS Victory Limited access
Launched in 1765, Nelson's flagship at Trafalgar in 1805, where he won Britain's greatest naval victory and died on board. Still a commissioned warship, the oldest in the world. Viewing platforms on her repair scaffolding get you close to the hull, and a lift serves them when work allows. Inside are steep ladders: you and Dad climb the gun decks while Mom takes the lift and the Victory Gallery's filmed tour.
Call the Dockyard when its lines open at 9:30 am to check the lift is running.
Lunch at Boathouse 7 Walk in
The Dockyard's café-restaurant, all on one level, a short roll from the Victory.
Day 1 · Friday 6 November3 of 4
The Mary Rose, then London
The Mary Rose Lifts
Henry VIII's favourite warship sank in front of him in 1545 and lay in the mud for 437 years until she was raised in 1982. Half her hull survives, with thousands of her crew's belongings: longbows, nit combs, dice and the ship's dog.
Walk back to the Premier Inn
Out through Victory Gate and along to Queen Street, about 5 minutes.
Car to London Book ahead
Your pre-booked car collects you at the Premier Inn. Ask for a "multivan" for three people and all the luggage. About 2 to 2½ hours to the hotel.
Addison Lee is London's biggest pre-booked car service, like a car service at home. A driver comes at a set time to a set address, for a fixed price.
By train instead: Portsmouth Harbour station is 2 minutes from the Premier Inn, with trains to London Waterloo about every 30 minutes (1 hr 35). Book Passenger Assist, Britain's free rail help service for travelers with limited mobility. At Waterloo, take a black cab from the taxi rank.
Day 1 · Friday 6 November4 of 4
First night in Bloomsbury
Check in, Royal National Hotel
38–51 Bedford Way. Ask for a room near the lifts; the corridors are long. Ask how the front desk calls black cabs; you'll use it all week.
North Sea Fish Restaurant Book to be safe
7–8 Leigh Street. Proper sit-down cod and chips and a pint of London Pride.
Early night

Big Bus is the hop-on hop-off sightseeing bus company.
Hop off at the Tower of London
It's a few hundred yards downhill from the bus stop to the entrance. Borrow a free wheelchair there if you need one.
Lunch, then the Tower Timed ticket
Start with lunch at the New Armouries Café inside the walls (walk in). William the Conqueror began the Tower after 1066; it has been palace, prison and place of execution.
Historic Royal Palaces is the charity that runs the Tower.
Crown Jewels and ravens Cobbles
See the crown used at King Charles III's coronation and the Cullinan I, one of the largest cut diamonds in the world. Legend says if the ravens leave, the kingdom falls, so at least six are always kept. Tower Green has the memorial where Anne Boleyn was beheaded. The last Beefeater tour is around 2:30.
Day 2 · Saturday 7 November2 of 2
The river at sunset
River cruise to Westminster
Included with your Big Bus ticket. Under Tower Bridge and past HMS Belfast (a WWII cruiser that fought on D-Day), Shakespeare's Globe, St Paul's and Parliament as the lights come on. Sunset is 4:23.

Black cab back to the hotel
From the taxi rank outside King's Cross station. About 10 minutes.

Typical means the average for that date in central London, 1980–2016. "1 in 3" is the chance of measurable rain on a given day. Highs rarely fall below 42°F or rise above 63°F. It's cloudy more often than not, and the wind off the river makes it feel colder. *Portsmouth.
