Windermere Lake Cruises

About this activity

Windermere Lake Cruises is an experience like no other. Located in the heart of Cumbria, England, it offers a unique way to explore the beauty of the Lake District. This award-winning attraction has been running for over 160 years and has been welcoming tourists from all around the world.

The cruises take place on Windermere, the largest natural lake in England. The lake stretches over 11 miles and offers stunning views of the surrounding hills and greenery. There are several routes to choose from, each offering a different perspective of the area. Some of the popular routes include the Red Cruise, the Yellow Cruise, and the Blue Cruise.

The Red Cruise takes you on a circular trip around the lake, stopping at six different piers along the way. This cruise lasts for around 90 minutes and gives you plenty of time to take in the scenery and relax on board. The Yellow Cruise takes you on a shorter trip, stopping at just two piers. This cruise is perfect if you're short on time but still want to experience the beauty of the lake. The Blue Cruise is the longest route, taking you all the way to the northern end of the lake. This cruise lasts for around 3 hours and gives you the chance to see some of the more remote areas of the Lake District.

No matter which cruise you choose, you'll be greeted by friendly staff who are happy to help you with any questions you might have. The boats are spacious and comfortable, with plenty of seating and large windows for optimal viewing. There are also several open-air decks for those who want to take in the fresh air and sunshine.

One of the best things about Windermere Lake Cruises is the flexibility it offers. You can choose to take a one-way trip, a return trip, or a hop-on-hop-off trip. This means that you can explore the area at your own pace and see as much or as little as you like. You can also combine your cruise with other activities, such as hiking or visiting local attractions.
