Our cruise commences at 9:30am from Naburn Lock, then proceeds towards Acaster Malbis. At 9:45am, the journey resumes, and we make our way to the Kings Staith #3 landing stage, arriving at approximately 10:40am (subject to river traffic).

Departing from the Kings Staith landing at 4pm, our boat will first sail towards Naburn lock, before continuing on to Acaster Malbis.

A bar is available where you can buy beverages, light refreshments and snacks.

Experience a distinct and hassle-free mode of transportation between York’s enchanting city centre and the charming villages of Acaster Malbis and Naburn with our River Bus Service.

The River Bus Service takes around 70 minutes from Naburn and approximately 55 minutes from Acaster Malbis.

We warmly welcome children on board and are pleased to offer complimentary admission for those under 4 years old.

Goed opgevoede honden zijn van harte welkom aan boord van onze Daytime Sightseeing Cruises, River Bus Service en Self Drive Boats, zonder extra kosten, zolang ze aangelijnd zijn. Let op: alleen geleidehonden zijn toegestaan op onze Dining Cruises en Santa Experience.

Om je comfort tijdens de cruise te garanderen, raden we aan om comfortabele kleding en schoeisel te dragen. Het is ook aan te raden om een lichte jas of trui mee te nemen voor het geval het wat koeler wordt.

Tijdens een bezoek aan York zijn er talloze attracties te ontdekken in de omgeving, waaronder de iconische York Minster, het Jorvik Viking Centre en het National Railway Museum. Bovendien kun je ontspannen wandelen langs de beroemde stadsmuren of de charmante winkels en cafés in de Shambles verkennen.

In York, there may be occasional instances of elevated river levels, which could affect our regular sailings. Nonetheless, we will strive to continue our voyages as long as it is safe to proceed. However, our smallest boat may face limitations and be unable to pass beneath the bridges at a certain point. We will endeavor to keep our customers informed through our website and advertising boards located at our moorings.

Ja, maar we kunnen alleen de digitale E-Card accepteren - we kunnen geen fysieke kaart accepteren.

U kunt uw York Gift Card inwisselen door de digitale kaart te tonen bij het Boarding Point of bij de On-Board Bar.
