How many people can go on a canal holiday?
It's really up to you! The largest narrowboats and barges can accommodate groups of up to twelve people and cruisers can take up to ten. With so many people on board things definitely won't get boring and if you have an even larger party you may want to consider hiring out two canal boats and travelling together.
A canal holiday can be just as enjoyable for a couple though, who will probably be more suited to a relaxed journey with few locks, or a river like the Thames where the locks are operated for you.
