Waveney River Tours & Day Boats | Visit East of England

Waveney Stardust, a modern, comfortable, centrally heated cruiser with wheelchair access and full disabled toilet facility.
Access to the boat is by way of a purpose built lift and therefore there are no steps to negotiate. A patient hoist is available for use by passengers with carers.
Trips may be booked by organisations, hospices, nursing homes and also for family groups where one or more members are disabled or unable to board a self hire craft. As you can see wheel chair access is available.

An approved skipper and crew member will at all times be with your party to ensure safety and comfort of all on board.

Maximum number of passengers on any cruise = 12 (twelve).

A passenger is any person regardless of age, ability or status.

There is no minimum number of passengers per party, but there is a minimum charge equivalent to six passengers per cruise.

The boat is not available for self drive or overnight accommodation.

All hire fees are inclusive of VAT @ the rate for the time being current. The prices above are shown as at January 2010 though may change if circumstances dictate.

– Sailing throughout the season.

Oulton Broad lies within the new Broads National Park and is the major Broad in Suffolk. Our tours start beside Mutford Lock a restored Sea Lock which is frequently in operation allowing coastal craft access to the Broads. Based here is the Waveney Princess equipped with an open top deck and offering panoramic views over the Broadland landscape. Reed Warblers and Reed Buntings can often be heard singing from the reed beds as we sail past and Marsh Harriers sometimes fly with us alongside the boat. The River Waveney is famous for its floating yellow water lilies which start blooming during May.
