Cruising your way into Bath Christmas Market

Description

Make Your Visit to Bath Christmas Market Magical – Take a River Cruise!

Step aboard one of our charming riverboats, Blue Iris or Grace, and enjoy a relaxing and scenic cruise along the beautiful River Avon as you make your way to the heart of the Bath Christmas Market.

Skip the traffic, avoid queueing for a bus, and forget the stress of finding parking. Instead, turn your journey into part of the festive experience itself—drift through the Bath countryside, taking in the sights and sounds of nature as the anticipation of twinkling lights and mulled wine builds.

Along the way, you’ll help navigate the historic Weston Lock, originally commissioned by Queen Anne and completed in 1727 as part of the Bristol Avon navigation system—a unique hands-on experience that adds a touch of history to your adventure.

The journey takes approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes—perfect for enjoying a hot drink, your favourite tipple, or a festive snack on board. Bring your own refreshments and soak in the peaceful atmosphere before the holiday bustle begins.

We’ll drop you off at Halfpenny Bridge, just beside Lower Bath Lock—only a short and picturesque 6-minute walk from the Christmas Market itself.

Make your trip part of the magic—book your river cruise to Bath Christmas Market today!
