Some knots are never meant to be untied
Sailors have always been superstitious about rope. A line that has held a man’s weight, they say, remembers it. It keeps something of him in the fibres, and it waits.
This Halloween the Royal Albatross sails under a blood moon with her rigging heavy and her lower decks dark. Three nights only. Come aboard if the story does not put you off.

The rope was found here
Down where the hull narrows and the sound of the water changes, there is a cabin that stays shut for the rest of the year. For three nights it opens. Guests go down in small groups. Most come back up quickly.
Not recommended for young children or the faint-hearted.
Fares for each sailing are shown at the booking page, along with live availability for all three nights.
Three nights. Then the cabin closes
Halloween sailings sell out earlier every year, and the ship carries a fixed number of guests.
