English Hotel Barges – River Thames Barging Cruises in England

Enjoy an English barge cruise on a slow meandering journey past Royal Palaces, quaint riverside towns, and villages. Experience a mixture of olde worlde England and the natural beauty of Surrey, Berkshire, and Oxfordshire.

Hotel Barge Magna Carta moored outside of Hampton Court

From Henry VIII’s Hampton Court past Windsor Castle to Henley-on-Thames, frequent stops allow plenty of time to wander and explore as we follow this old Viking trading route through some of England’s prettiest counties. During the cruise aboard English Hotel Barge Magna Carta, there is a diverse program of escorted visits along the way – art galleries, stately homes, plus a boatyard that has been building traditional river craft for centuries. There are also good cycling and walking opportunities along the ever-present Thames towpath.
