Couples seeking a romantic getaway don’t have to look far from home to find the perfect destination this Valentine’s Day – the beautiful Channel Islands of Guernsey or Jersey.
Take a trip on the love boat this Valentine’s Day with Condor Ferries
Whether it’s a romantic day trip to Guernsey or a weekend break, Condor Ferries allows couples to discover everything the Islands have to offer this February.
Passengers opting for a day trip can treat themselves and their loved one to a meal at one of the island’s top restaurants, with fresh seafood a local specialty. Those searching for that special gift - or even a diamond engagement ring - can shop without any VAT in Guernsey, or simply spend time soaking up the stunning scenery and architecture. And as an extra treat, couples can take advantage of Condor Ferries’ onboard Duty Free shop, ideal when searching for a Valentine’s fragrance or bottle of Champagne to finish off the evening. Day trips from Weymouth are just £30 return and give you the day to relax and enjoy your partner’s company, with sailings available on 14th, 15th or 17th February.
If you have a couple of days to spend in the Channel Islands, a romantic walk along the stunning island coastline could be an ideal activity. In Guernsey, take a stroll round Candie Gardens to the Victoria Tower, stopping to look closely for the carved initials of exiled resident Victor Hugo and his lover Juliette Drouet, who used to meet in the tower for secret assignations. Meanwhile, visitors to Jersey can take in the view over Portelet Bay, before spending a night or two in properties ranging from boutique hotels to luxuriously converted manor houses.
Justin Amey, Marketing Manager at Condor Ferries, commented: “The Channel Islands are the perfect destination for couples wanting to spend time together away from the stresses of modern-day life, and a romantic day trip or weekend break is a great way to experience the very best the Islands have to offer. It just goes to show that you don’t have to travel far and for it to cost the earth to impress your loved one on Valentine’s Day.”
