Viking Afloat

Viking Afloat gives you so much more

As one of Britain's largest and most successful narrowboat holiday providers, we have a superb range of boats to suit precisely the needs of you and your family.

A privately owned company established more than twenty years ago, we know the importance of delivering a specialist, personal service. We have all the experience to make your holiday with us a success from the start.

We give you the widest possible choice of cruising with no less than four strategically located operating bases allowing immediate access to England and Wales' finest waterways.

Our flexibility enables you to choose three or four night cruises, as well as seven days, ten days, two weeks or longer. In addition, you have the opportunity to start your holiday on a Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday whichever suits you best.

We also provide bed linen, life jackets and secure car parking FREE. For your further peace of mind, we offer an optional Cancellation Scheme at very low rates.

As part of our service, we provide everyone with a full demonstration of the boat and its systems, as well as teaching newcomers how to handle the boats and how to operate the canal locks. Every one of our boats has on board a comprehensive manual and we supply expert help around the clock with a 24-hour emergency helpline. And you do not have to just take our word for the quality of our boats, since we insist that they are all inspected and graded every year by the National Tourist Board (Visit Britain). Furthermore you can be assured that Viking Afloat's maintenance standards are second to none and you can be confident that your boat will have been carefully cleaned and thoroughly inspected prior to your arrival.

We also offer personal tuition, to holidaymakers, in every aspect of driving and maintaining their boat...details of this and all the other information you need, can be found by accessing our website, using the link above left. Alternatively call on 01905 610660.
