Magna Carta
The 8 passenger Magna Carta is one of the finest, most luxurious vessels cruising the British Isles. The ambience created by combining a traditional barge hull (1936) and fine mahogany, teak and oak woods is outstanding. The upper deck saloon and dining areas sport picture windows and stylish furnishings and the sun deck has comfortable seating and a spa pool.
Magna Carta has the most sophisticated modern amenities, including air conditioning, underfloor heating in the cabins and four full width suites, each with exceptionally spacious contemporary en-suite facilities and colour TVs and DVD players. There are eight bikes on board to take at your pleasure for rides along the tow paths.
Her experienced Captain knows the Thames well and will pilot the barge and be your tour guide. Your Master Chef will produce a range of mouth watering dishes whilst you enjoy the sights of London and the home counties from your floating country inn. Two house keepers complete the crew of four.
Below you can find some of the highlights of the cruises we are currently offering on Magna Carta, along with some examples of the cuisine and fine wines the master chef will present you with on board.
