Top York Cruises & Sailing

See the historic city of York from a different perspective during an Ouse River cruise. Setting off in the early evening when the light softens, sail past ancient landmarks and quaint riverside villages, all the while learning about the area’s Roman and Viking heritage. Keep warm in the heated saloon, where you can buy alcoholic drinks, warm beverages, and snacks.

Set sail on a romantic evening cruise along the Ouse River and see York’s historic landmarks away from the land-based crowds. Glide past the illuminated city skyline, and admire the riverside parks and buildings when they look most dramatic. Choose from two options: a tranquil Ouse River cruise with an included drink, or the upgraded cruise with the quintessentially English combo of strawberries and cream, plus a drink.
