Do I have to steer the boat myself?

Usually, but don't panic because it's all very easy! You don't need any previous experience behind a tiller, as training will be given by your canal holiday operator beforehand. They will explain everything to you in a matter of hours when you arrive. If you are still wary though or you just fancy putting your feet up, take a holiday on a hotel boat. Here the experienced crew take care of everything for you, from steering to cooking.
