Inland holidays

Inland charter holidays are all about taking it easy.There is no itinerary - you set your own agenda choosing where and when to travel, and where to stop and what to do. In a week by canal you are likely to cover the same distance you could cover in an hour by car. But the journey will be a far richer one!

If this is your first inland cruise, you don't be worried: Navigating the inland waterways is not easy and the boat hire company will teach you everything you need to know before you start your holiday so you can cruise with complete confidence.

The canals and rivers of England, Scotland and Wales stretch for over 2,000 miles through some of the finest countryside and interesting cities imaginable - the Grand Union Canal, the Norfolk Broads, the Cheshire Ring, the Llangollen Canal and the Scottish Lochs. Whilst in Europe, France, Holland, Belgium, Germany, Italy and Poland all have extensive river and canal networks to explore.
