What better way to welcome 2026 than with a relaxing New Year short break? Let Vision Tours take care of all the details while you enjoy luxury coach travel, great food, lively entertainment, and the charm of the Isle of Wight. Whether you’re travelling with friends or looking to meet new ones, our New Year break promises fun, laughter, and a memorable start to the year — all without the hassle.

There’s so much to see and do on the Isle of Wight, you’ll be truly spoilt for choice. With its stunning scenery, charming towns, and rich history, it’s a destination that captures hearts. Once you’ve experienced its unique charm, it’s easy to see why so many visitors return year after year.

Day 1: Travel & Arrival

We begin our journey with a scenic drive to Southampton, where we board the ferry to East Cowes, Isle of Wight. The short crossing (approximately 55–60 minutes) offers a relaxing start to your holiday. Onboard, enjoy locally sourced food, real coffee, a well-stocked bar, and comfortable lounges with TVs, air conditioning, and free Wi-Fi. Step out onto the outer decks for fresh sea air and fantastic views of the Solent.

Upon arrival, we continue to Sandown, where you’ll check in and settle into your welcoming hotel.

Day 2: Island Tour & New Year’s Eve Celebrations

After a hearty breakfast, we set off on a scenic circular tour of the island, taking in highlights such as St Catherine’s Viewpoint, The Needles, and the charming town of Yarmouth.

In the evening, join your fellow guests for a festive New Year’s Eve celebration — complete with great food, entertainment, and plenty of cheer as we welcome 2026 in style!

Day 3: New Year’s Day – Leisure Time & Optional Sea Dip

Enjoy a leisurely late breakfast and a free day to relax or explore at your own pace. For the brave (or simply the supportive), there’s the traditional New Year’s Day Charity Sea Dip — optional for swimmers, but a must-watch for everyone else!

Day 4: Homeward Bound

After breakfast, we say farewell to the Isle of Wight and begin our journey home, filled with memories of a wonderful start to the New Year.
