residential guest crossing

Please use this option to book your crossing to Holy Isle if you are participating in a residential course at the Centre for World Peace and Health. This covers your return crossing but note you only have to select the outward journey when booking, not one for the return date. The Centre on Holy Isle will provide you with information about the return times that apply to your departure day.

We aim to be as inclusive as possible and wish to support everyone from all backgrounds and abilities to enjoy our cruises and crossings. We will provide active assistance to all passengers boarding our boats. However, please be aware that the boats are always accessed from the pier steps so, regrettably, direct wheelchair accessibility is not possible.
