Travel Arrangements
All our cruises begin and end at moorings chosen for their convenient proximity to a main line railway station, other public transport and car parking facilities to ease travel to and from your cruise.
Whilst you may prefer to travel by car we have arranged our itinerary to ensure our departure and arrival points are also in close proximity to railway stations and other public transport links. The stations along the route of our cruises on the Kennet and Avon and River Thames are on the Great Western Railway line with services as far as Plymouth, Devon and Paddington Station in London. Timetables and prices can be found at First Great Western . Services covering destinations on the Grand Union Canal are operated by London Midland
