Join us on board our daytime sightseeing cruise and discover fascinating facts from your seat on the top deck or wrapped up warm in our enclosed saloon. Wherever you sit you will have a great view to uncover the history of this ancient city and the immense impact the River Ouse has had on its development: From the impact of flooding over the centuries to its prosperity as an inland port, bringing precious goods from across the globe into York, including the humble cocoa bean, that super-charged York’s world-famous chocolate industry. You’ll discover more about all this history, as well as pick up some local knowledge, thanks to live, on-board commentary from our home-grown skippers. During your cruise, treat yourself to an indulgent range of refreshments at our onboard bar. Stocked with a selection of local beers, wines, spirits, soft drinks, hot drinks, and snacks.
