Windsor River Cruise or Windsor at Leisure - Saturday 15th May 2027

Windsor – 2-Hour River Cruise or Windsor at Leisure

Enjoy a wonderful day out in historic Windsor, where royal heritage, beautiful riverside scenery and excellent shopping come together for one of Britain’s most popular destinations. Choose how you spend your day with two options available: enjoy a relaxing 2-hour River Thames cruise or explore Windsor completely at your own pace with our Windsor at Leisure option.

Option 1 – Windsor & 2-Hour River Cruise

Sit back, relax and discover the beauty of the River Thames with an enjoyable 2-hour return cruise from Windsor.

Once aboard, you can watch the scenery unfold as you travel along this picturesque stretch of the Thames, passing attractive riverside properties, countryside and points of local interest. It’s a wonderfully relaxing way to experience Windsor from a completely different perspective, with plenty to see along the way.

Your cruise forms part of the day, leaving you with additional free time in Windsor before or after sailing. Take a stroll through the historic streets, stop for lunch or afternoon tea, browse the shops or simply enjoy the atmosphere of this famous royal town.

Option 2 – Windsor at Leisure

Prefer to make your own plans? Choose our Windsor at Leisure option and enjoy extended free time to explore independently.

Dominating the town is magnificent Windsor Castle, one of the world’s oldest and largest occupied castles and an iconic part of the Windsor skyline. Those wishing to visit the castle can arrange their own admission, or simply enjoy exploring Windsor’s attractive streets, shops and riverside.

Windsor Royal Station offers a selection of shops and places to eat within an impressive Victorian setting, while the town centre is filled with boutiques, familiar high-street names, cafés, pubs and restaurants.

You could also wander down to the Thames, take a riverside stroll, cross Windsor Bridge into neighbouring Eton or simply find somewhere comfortable to enjoy lunch and watch the world go by.

Whichever option you choose, Windsor offers the perfect combination of royal history, riverside scenery, shopping and independent exploration – all with the convenience of comfortable return coach travel with Richard Taylor Travel.

Please note: Windsor Castle admission is not included with the Windsor at Leisure option unless specifically stated in your booking.
Cruise arrangements and timings are subject to the river operator’s schedule and operational conditions. No wheel Chair access on the boat and a couple of steps around the boat.
