Mile Builders

Our 2026 milebuilders

 

Saturday 13th June 10:00am to Friday 19th June 16:00pm from Ipswich to Northney via the Tower of London

​

Departing Ipswich, we’ll sail out of the Orwell through Historic Harwich Harbour and Felixstowe container port (one of the largest of its kind). Then it’ll be a route south picking its way through the sandbanks and channels of the Thames Estuary until joining the Thames itself near Southend. From there we’ll sail up to St Katherine’s Dock and the iconic Tower Bridge. The onward journey will be back down the Thames, along the north Kent coast, past north Foreland, Beachy Head and on to our final destination in the Solent. Overnight stops could be anywhere along the way and some night passages may be involved. All crew will take part in all aspects of life on board with teaching and coaching as needed from our experienced sea staff.”

When you book you will see two alternate prices for the voyage, please only use the MST trainee price if you are a Morning Star Trust volunteer.
