Shearings cruises departing from your doorstep
Shearings Holidays is offering free travel from more than 120 regional pick-up points for passengers sailing on two of its new sea cruises.
The coach transfers to the operator's departure port of Harwich are available on the 12 day British Isles Heritage Trail cruise and 15 day North Cape & Spitsbergen cruise.
Commercial director for Shearings, Caroline Brown, said: “The idea of our free coach transfers is to remove all the stress of travelling to the port and allow passengers the chance to relax and start their holiday with us even sooner.

For even more convenience passengers can be picked up from their home by booking the ‘Home Connect’ service, available from selected regions.
