All aboard for the Diamond Jubilee weekend!
Ahoy there! Why not push the boat out to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee - and set sail from Southend on the tall ship, Atlantis.
This spectacular vessel is visiting Southend Pier from Friday 1st June to Tuesday 5th June.
During that weekend there will be opportunities to go on matchless three-hour sailing trips or to explore the Atlantis during the ‘open ship’ sessions while it is moored at the Pier Head. The timetable is as follows:
Friday 1st June
Open ship session during the afternoon - the exact time is still to be confirmed

Southend-on-Sea Borough Council’s Head of Enterprise, Tourism and the Environment, Anita Thornerry said: “The Atlantis is a hugely popular attraction all round - whether to view from afar, to climb aboard during open ship sessions, or of course, to set sail on. We are very lucky to have the vessel in Southend throughout this celebratory weekend, as I am sure it will bring residents and visitors flocking. We urge those considering a sailing trip on the Atlantis, to book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment, because places are limited.”
