The above is based solely on
information advised to me and as such it is probably far from a comprehensive list
Nevertheless if you specifically want to sail on a paddle
steamer (as opposed a motor vessel) it would be
well worth checking locally nearer the time and possibly changing the date of your
proposed visit to avoid being caught-out --- as I have been in the past !
(It is expected most of the above sailings will continue to be operated with an
alternative ship
usually a smaller motor vessel although occasionally
a sailing(s) may be withdrawn on that date)
If you are aware of any errors or other dates, please
e-mail me so the information can be updated for
the benefit of other visiors to this site
