St. Helier CRUISE

The Deep Blue Waters of the English Channel

Saint Helier is found on the island of Jersey, the largest in the EnglishChannel and is one of the twelve parishes and capital of the city that takes its name from Saint Helier, an ascetic hermit who lived on the island in the 6th century.

On your MSC cruise, you will have the chance to explore this extravagant place full of charm, history and culture.

Until the end of the 18th century, Saint Helier consisted mainly of a series of houses, shops and warehouses that stretched along the coastal dunes on either side of the church and adjacent market. Today, many places in this beautiful city have been formally listed as special interest sites by the Jersey Department of Planning and Environment.

One of these is Elizabeth Castle, a dark stone castle located on an islet at the end of the bay where Saint Helier is located. The current building is named after Elizabeth I, who was Queen of England in the 16th century when the castle was built.
