Changeover day is Tuesday. Most flights are with Flybe. (see http://www.flybe.com/) Flights to La Rochelle and Brest are from Southampton and Manchester airports and the flights to Nantes are from Gatwick. The transfer from Nantes airport to South Brittany ports is by train. There are also flights to La Rochelle from Bristol and Gatwick with EasyJet (http://www.easyjet.com/asp/en/book/index.asp?lang=EN)
Cruise itineraries are worked out on the first night with the crew so we can vary the amount of sailing v leisure time to suit those on board. We generally cover about 140 NM on a round trip back to base port cruise and cruises, where we relocate Vital Spark to a new base port, are usually longer.
