Inselträume im Ärmelkanal – Guernsey, Jersey & Sark

Your voyage begins in the historic port of Bremerhaven. In the early afternoon, the MS Nordstjernen departs and heads out into the North Sea. As the ship slowly leaves the mouth of the Weser River, you can feel the unique atmosphere of this lovingly restored former mail boat – a journey into maritime history begins.

In the afternoon, the MS Nordstjernen calls at Oostende, the “Queen of the Belgian seaside resorts.” Elegant Belle Époque buildings, wide promenades, and the impressive Church of St. Peter and St. Paul shape the image of this historic coastal city.

In the afternoon, the island of Guernsey appears on the horizon. The MS Nordstjernen anchors off the coast, and the soft evening light casts a nostalgic glow over the scenery. On board, a peaceful maritime atmosphere prevails – a feeling only a classic ship like this can offer.

A full day on Guernsey awaits. The island enchants with rugged cliffs, green valleys, and its charming capital, St. Peter Port. Narrow streets, old stone houses, and the striking Castle Cornet tell stories of British and French history. In the evening, the MS Nordstjernen continues its voyage and anchors off the island of Sark.

Today, discover the small island of Sark, one of Europe’s most untouched places. Time seems to have stood still here – no cars, little traffic, only quiet paths, cliffs, and blooming gardens. From the deck, you enjoy a magnificent view of the steep coastline and the shimmering sea. In the evening, the MS Nordstjernen anchors off the island of Jersey.

The largest of the Channel Islands, Jersey, welcomes you with beautiful landscapes and impressive historic landmarks. Ancient castles, picturesque villages, and traces of the island’s rich history shape the scenery. In the harbor, you can still sense the spirit of past seafaring days. In the evening, it’s time to set course northward again.

Today is a day to relax and enjoy the historic atmosphere on board the MS Nordstjernen. Take in the vastness of the sea and let yourself be carried by the rhythm of the waves.

Today the ship docks in IJmuiden, the gateway to the lively metropolis of Amsterdam. Yet even in the harbor itself, the bustling activity of a modern seaport blends beautifully with a sense of tradition – an interesting contrast to the ship’s nostalgic charm.

In the afternoon, the MS Nordstjernen returns to Bremerhaven. Enjoy the final hours on board, the calm atmosphere and reflect on the memorable experiences of the past days. Please note: We use tender boats to reach the islands of Guernsey, Sark and Jersey.
