Variety Cruisers - Windsor

A boating holiday aboard a Variety Cruiser allows you to explore the beautiful River Thames and surrounding countryside from the comfort of a luxury motor cruiser. Visit a world rich in wildlife and natural scenery, quiet country villages, cosy pubs and excellent restaurants, all of which can be found alongside the riverbank.

Windsor Marina itself is situated in a tranquil garden setting and is one of the most attractive marinas on the Thames. There are many places of interest within an easy cruise, and upstream, the Thames is navigable as far as Lechlade.

Between Windsor and Oxford there are several riverside inns, stately homes and gardens to visit including Cliveden Mansion, with its extensive Italianate gardens and woodlands. Downstream, lie Eton and the charming village of Datchet.

Windsor is well worth a visit with its shops, restaurants, historic buildings and world famous castle. It's also close to the popular family attraction of Legoland.

Even if you stay on the boat, there's a lot to see: waterway wildlife, beautiful scenery and astonishing architecture. And that's not to mention all the great riverside pubs and villages you'll pass.

The beautiful boats of the Variety Cruisers fleet are designed with both comfort and fun in mind. While cruising you can choose to sit out on the decking the sun and watch the world pass by, or move indoors and enjoy the comfortable cabin. If the British weather intervenes, simply pull up the canopy and carry on cruising in comfort.

And if you simply fancy a holiday afloat, but do not wish to navigate the boat along the river, you can of course stay and use the Marina as a base for a holiday in beautiful Royal Berkshire. Windsor Marina offers extensive facilities and services including electricity and fresh water, toilets, car parking, Wi Fi internet and is staffed 365 days a year.

The boats themselves are all fully equipped with kitchenettes and comfortable sleeping arrangements for up to four people. The galley has a cooker with oven, four ring hob and grill, plus a refrigerator and sink. There is a hot and cold pressurised water system, with shower, toilet and folding hand basin. Each boat has a four-stroke outboard motor, steering system, electric start, in-built fuel tank with fuel gauge on dashboard, navigation lights, spotlight, horn and a comprehensive user manual.
