Journey Options and Fares

We offer great value group incentives on advanced bookings only*, and with more regular sailings incorporated into our timetable, there are many more opportunities to explore this spectacular valley.

The Perfect One Way Cruise

Our Pooley Bridge to Glenridding or vice versa sailing, fits perfectly with most group itineraries, being convenient with access from the A66 and M6 motorway at Pooley Bridge and Ambleside via Kirkstone Pass at our Glenridding departure point. The fare for this journey is £6 for adults and £3 for children. Fare includes a Lake Guide for passengers and a Pocket History of Ullswater for Tour Guides. There is a further 20% reduction of this fare for groups travelling before 10am.

Round the Lake Cruise

For those groups with a little more time, take full advantage of the two hour cruise on England’s most beautiful lake, shaped like the letter Z as it winds through this mountainous valley: from the foothills of Helvellyn at the Southern reach to the rounded limestone hills at the Northern Reach. The fare for this journey is £10.20 for adults and £5.20 for children. Fare includes a Lake Guide for passengers and a Pocket History of Ullswater for Tour Guides.

Boots & Boats

Combine a cruise with some of the most famous walks within the Lake District. The Howtown to Glenridding low level walk (7 miles/11 km) takes approximately 3 to 4 hours. The ‘Daffodils’ written by William Wordsworth was inspired by a walk near Glencoyne in 1802. The fare for this journey is £4.70 for adults.

Add a Little Extra

Combine a cruise with a cream tea at Dalemain Historic House or ask us about our Turkey and Tinsel festive packages, we are happy to advise you on options to enhance your tours.
Tour Guides and Essential Companions enjoy free passage with their parties.

Please note, not all vessels are suitable for access; please confirm at time of booking to avoid disappointment.
