NEW BASE in the Norfolk Broads for 2012
With our partners, Le Boat, we are very excited to be opening a new base in 2012 - Somerleyton in the Norfolk Broads. The base opens up a whole new cruising ground for us, allowing our customers to experience the magnificant southern broads, and enables them to do oneway cruises between Somerleyton and our exsisting base in Horning. Check out the new cruising options now available.
Brand NEW Boats arrive in 2012
We are pleased to announce the arrival of a host of new 5-anchor boats to our fleet. As well as more new Visions in France and Germany, the stylish Mystique, currently only available in the Canal du Midi, will now be available across France as well as Holland and Germany. And our fleet of Royal Mystiques, slightly smaller boats but equally as impressive, will also increase, with one arriving for the first time to the Thames. Have a luxurious holiday with Emerald Star and Le Boat.
5 & 6-anchor boats are selling fast - hurry!
If you want to guarantee your place on one of our luxury Royal Mystiques or on one of our brand new Vision3 or Vision4 cruisers for 2013, now is the time to act - they tend to sell out pretty quickly, especially in places like Brittany, Burgundy and the Canal Du Midi. So hurry - we know from previous years that if you wait until the new year to book these boats, you're likely to be disappointed.
