Contrary to local media (BBC South Today) posting a video of the Ocean Scene this evening, I would like to confirm that Blue Funnel Cruises are NOT in financial difficulty, and that we or any of our associated companies or directors are nothing to do with the Hythe Ferry. Apologies to those who have contacted us with concerns over future bookings.

Today saw Ocean Scene, our largest vessel lifted using 12 straps in a boat hoist. Amazing sight to see. Out for her annual scrub and safety inspection.

Well look who came onboard today.
It’s been very busy on our Southampton Boat Show Harbour Tours but we’ve always got room for one more, especially when it’s a VIP like Ted Funnel. Welcome aboard sir 🫡 ⛴️ 🚢
