This canal cruise begins at Preston Brooks on the Dukes cut, the Bridgewater canal.  It follows the route to St. Marys Marina on the Rufford branch of the Leeds Liverpool canal. This cruise takes us from the Mersey to the Douglas via the sides of the fantastic city of Manchester and Wigan Pier. This journey is a pleasure. With locks, turn bridges, countryside and city landscapes this cruise ship has lots of passion.

From the peaceful Rufford arm of the Leeds Liverpool to the top of the iconic Wigan flight of locks.  We may also take a trip to St. Marys Marina, this is an activity loaded cruise ship with 34 locks. The Rufford arm diminishes to the River Douglas that gives the link to the Lancaster Canal. We will travel through the charming countryside and the eye-catching flights of locks at Wigan and on the Rufford arm.

 'Wow what fabulous views, so unexpected', that's what our visitors claim. This cruise ship travels through the old commercial landscapes of Lancashire & the extraordinary countryside. These areas of beauty are usually overlooked by visitors. With nature & the historical weathered architecture of mills, this cruise actually is an eye opener.

This cruise takes us on even more rivers compared to any one of our other cruise ships. Starting in the dynamic city of Leeds. Normally starting at the very bottom of the Leeds Liverpool canal.  We relocate into the Aire & Calder Navigation with its big commercial locks. After that, we pass through the Knottingley & Goole canal.  We then join the New Junction Canal, part of the South Yorkshire Navigations. We wind up finishing with the Stainforth and Keadby canal prior to ending the cruise ship at Keadby just before the lock that heads out into the Trent.
