Marine Cruises (Chirk)

Step back into a period when speed was classed as hours per mile – rather than the other way around – cruising along a waterway that allows you to breathe the fresh, clean air that’s freely available outside our towns and cities. You’ll share the peaceful world of moorhens, coots, grebes and herons as well as the amazing kingfisher, all of whom have made the canal their home. You’ll travel when you want to and stop and tie up when the mood takes you, giving you an unparalleled freedom to explore gardens, parks and country houses as and when you feel inclined.

Marine Cruises are proud to introduce our purpose built narrowboats designed with you, our valued customer, in mind. All are professionally fitted to the highest standard to provide both the comfort and accessories you expect from a first class hire fleet operator. We have been designing and fitting boats for some years now and are delighted that we can offer you the chance to enjoy your holiday on one of the best designed and equipped hire fleets on the canal system.

Marine Cruises has three bases, one at Chirk situated on the picturesque Llangollen canal. Straddling four counties, the canal has some truly breathtaking views, including the 120ft Pontcysyllte Aqueduct.

At Stoke-On-Trent, our base provides various routes for the more active holiday seeker, or you can make it a more gentle weeks cruising. Based on the Trent and Mersey, Shropshire Union, Macclesfield, and Caldon canals, take in the beautiful countryside, and experience the numerous locks and tunnels en route.

Our Falkirk Wheel base on the Forth Clyde and Union Canal can offer a peaceful and relaxing cruise into two major cities, across mighty aqueducts, pass through tunnels and visit ancient palaces, taking in the peace, beauty and tranquillity of the Scottish Lowlands.
