The historic steamship Shieldhall has a busy programme of day cruises lined up for 2023.
Details of the preserved steamship Shieldhall’s 2023 sailing programme have been released. Commencing on Friday 16 June, with a final sailing on Sunday 17 September, there is a variety of two- to fourhour cruises and all day sailings, including some new offerings. The number of sailings is comparable with 2022, although with reduced weekend sailings to reduce Shieldhall’s ‘steam-up’ costs. During 2022 Shieldhall’s fuel costs increased by more than 100 per cent, while other operating costs also increased. New for 2023 are three Friday evening sailings, a Jurassic Coast sailing from Poole Quay on 29 August, and a wide variety of other trips around the Solent.
