Kris Cruisers
Kris Cruisers operates the newest and most luxurious fleet of fully equipped luxury cruisers on the River Thames with boats sleeping between 2 and 10 people. They are available for hire from as little as a 3 or 4 night short break to one week or more. You can explore the whole 124 mile length of the River Thames from Teddington right up to Lechlade in Gloucestershire. Boating holidays have never been so good.
Day Hire: a day's cruising from Datchet will bring you to towns such as Royal Windsor and, on the opposite bank, Eton; then the pretty village of Bray and a little way farther on Maidenhead with its memories of Edwardian punting heydays.
At the limit of your cruising range are Boulter's Lock and the beech-wooded heights of Cliveden. Throughout the greater part of your trip the Round Tower of Windsor Castle remains a still and familiar landmark.
Downstream will bring you to historic Runnymede with its many associations - Magna Carta, the memorial to President Kennedy and, atop Cooper's Hill, the one to the Commonwealth Air Forces. The River winds on past London Stone marking the former limit of jurisdiction of the City of London, down to the busy town of Staines and then on to Laleham where riverside homes and bungalows front the meadows which once surrounded Laleham Abbey.
Whether you have a week, a day or just a few hours, relax, unwind and discover the hidden treasures of the River Thames with Kris Cruisers Boating Holidays.
