Welcome to The Wessex Rose Luxury 5 Star Hotel Boat

The Wessex Rose 5 Star luxury wide beam hotel boat offers you fully crewed all inclusive cruising in en-suite cabins on a comfortable purpose built hotel barge, the perfect choice for your next UK canal or river holiday. Why not join us for a totally unique and relaxing experience on one of our scheduled cruises along the Kennet and Avon Canal, River Thames or Grand Union Canal. Whether you’re looking for a short break or longer holiday we have a cruise to suit you. Our route selection varies from three night short breaks to seven or nine night holidays exploring some of the most beautiful waterways and attractions Britain has to offer.

The ‘We’re Good To Go’ industry standard mark has been designed by Visit England in partnership with the national tourist organisations of Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales to provide a ‘ring of confidence’ for the tourism industry as well as reassurance to visitors that businesses have clear processes in place and are following industry and Government Covid-19 guidance on cleanliness and social distancing.

To ensure compliance with Government guidelines we have installed new santising stations on board and have implemented additional cleaning, sanitising and social distancing measures to protect the welfare and safety of our guests and crew. With these in place we are pleased to announce that we have been awarded the ‘We’re Good To Go’ accreditation by Visit England.
