What Can I Expect

Scenic Oxford river cruises - a delightful way to discover all the sights of this historic university town from the water! All boats will depart from a lovely little decked docking area next to the famous Folly Bridge in the centre of Oxford, for an afternoon river cruise on the calm waters of the Thames that flows right through the middle of town.

The Oxford River Experience lasts around 50 minutes. You'll go cruising along one of the busiest stretches of the Thames, winding through the city centre with punts, university rowing boats and private pleasure cruisers all sharing the waters.

Your captain knows this route and the history all around you very well and they're sure to regale you with knowledgeable facts and stories to accompany the sights you'll be gliding past. From the famous universities and colleges, to the picturesque ancient bridges that straddle this legendary waterway, you'll see it all.

During the summer high season, there are several departures per day for this popular Oxford River Experience. Boats used are Edwardian-style river launches, capable of taking up to 50 passengers for these sightseeing tours of historic Oxford. Fully restored with a teak interior, the launches are both quiet and comfy, as they are electric powered.

Trips on these historic floating pleasure boats make for an unforgettable introduction to the academic world of one of Europe's oldest university towns. They also provide photo opportunities from a refreshing new angle!

For anyone with an interest in history, architecture, or simply with an appreciation for beautiful surroundings, our Oxford River Cruises are surely worth a punt! We do advise booking early, as boat trips are always really popular during the main summer tourist season in Oxford.
