The Severn Wonders Cruise
About this cruise
Experience The Entire Severn Navigation
If you want to see the Severn Navigation between Sharpness and Stourport on Severn in one cruise then this one is for you- no other cruise we offer has this much cruising on the itinerary.
Highlights
- Worcester Cathedral & Royal Worcester Porcelain Museum
- Stourport on Severn & Severn Valley Steam Railyway
- Upton Upon Severn
- Gloucester Docks and Gloucester Cathedral
- Slimbridge WWT
- Purton Barge Graveyard
Discover The Wonders Of The Severn
We often get asked if we can offer a cruise that stops everywhere along the navigation. So, once a year we do just that!.
The cruise starts and finishes in Gloucester but takes in over fifty miles of waterway and there is more than 100 miles of cruising. Since we motor at just over 4mph that takes a while, so this is a full six night cruise!
This cruise visits all of our favourite highlights along the navigation.
