Public River Cruises

Currently unavailable due to COVID 19 restrictions. We will update once available.

Enjoy a cruise aboard one of our traditional Edwardian passenger launches. Cruise downstream past the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and Holy Trinity Church (the site of Shakespeare’s tomb) and upstream passing under the 15th Century Clopton Bridge. Once through the bridge, the scenery changes as we discover peaceful river-banks and meadows with glimpses of large secluded houses and beautiful river-side gardens.

Included on our 40 minute river cruises is a digital audio guide for your use, free of charge.  It will give you information of the famous sights along the river along, and is available in five languages. English, French, Spanish, Italian and German.  See the crew onboard the boat for further information.
