Happy New Year!
Firstly, a huge "thank you" to all our guests who cruised with us in 2025. We appreciate every single one of you, whether you booked a modest boat for two or a luxury model for twelve.
After a short break over the festive period, we are now back to full speed, offering a 7-day-a-week service.
We're very excited to be entering 2026 with a record number of bookings already confirmed for the 2026 and 2027 seasons.
With hundreds of cruises to choose from, we know it can be a daunting task to select just one, which is why we have a dedicated team of Cruise Experts just waiting to help.
Now is the time to start planning your trip, whether you are looking for a self-drive adventure or an all-inclusive, luxury hotel barge cruise.
See you soon, back on the water!
