Daily Sightseeing Cruises

Daily sightseeing cruises depart from the Holiday Inn landing stage every half hour from 10.30am and last 45 minutes. 

The Rita Ellen sails on the hour from 11am and offers tea, coffee, cold drinks, cakes and the famous Bancroft Cream Teas.

The Princess Marina, the open sightseeing boat, leaves the landing stage on the half hour from 10.30am.

During the cruise the boats pass many places of interest including the newly-developed Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Holy Trinity Church- where William Shakespeare is buried – and the 15th Century Clopton Bridge.  

The cruise then continues upstream into the pretty Stratford countryside before returning to the Holiday Inn landing stage.

Our tour guides give an interesting and often amusing commentary and are more than happy to answer any questions.
