York City Cruise on the River Ouse
Enjoy an entertaining and informative sightseeing cruise along the River Ouse and discover historic York from a different perspective. A friendly and knowledgeable team will guide you leisurely upstream and downstream while sharing fascinating stories about the city and its riverside landmarks.
Board from either King’s Staith or Lendal Bridge and choose a comfortable spot in the enclosed saloon or on the upper deck. Relax as you admire the scenery and enjoy refreshments from the fully stocked onboard bar.
The cruise lasts either 45 minutes or one hour, depending on the weather and demand on the day. The longer route typically travels towards Clifton Bridge before continuing downstream to Millennium Bridge, while the shorter cruise explores the central area of the walled city.
Throughout the journey, the captain provides live commentary about York’s fascinating past. Learn about the city’s history of flooding, its importance as an inland port, and how the River Ouse brought Romans and Vikings to the area. The vessel also features a heated saloon, restrooms, and a bar serving drinks and snacks.
