Public River Cruises - Covid 19 Limited Offering

We are now CLOSED for 2020 and will look to re-open on the 12th of April 2021 as a part of Step 2 of the Governments COVID-19 response plan. As this is not a firm date we will only look to open our booking system once this is set in stone and confirmed.. We will be running our full 30 minute public river cruises with a limited number of seats.

Seats on the cruises will be available on a first come first served basis with the tickets purchased through our ticket office on the Bancroft Gardens and adjacent to the departure point.  The tickets will be valid for the day of travel only and for a specific departure time.

Our full 30 minute cruise are now back in operation, with three boats running every 20 minutes.

30 Minute rates are as follows

  • Adults – £7.00
  • Concessions – £6.00
  • Children – £5.00
  • Family – £22.00

Seating capacity of the vessels has been reduced to comply with current guidance and distancing. If you have a large group please contact our office and enquire about a private charter which may be more suitable to your needs. We are unable to store pushchairs other than SMALL foldable ones which will go on the vessel with you.

Throughout the purchase and boarding process please be patient and listen to all instructions given by staff.

All common areas including seats, seat backs and hand rails will be sanitised between trips which may mean that you have to wait a little longer before being invited to board and we thank you for your patience.

 


Currently the Canoes and Ferry Crossing are unavailable. As restrictions are lifted we hope to offer more of our fleet soon.
