This was our 1st Narrowboat experience. The training was clear & the boat very easy to handle. We loved the pace of life on the river coupled with all the homely luxurious touches provided. I want to go back & finish my book in front of the log stove, I'll be back!

WOW!! At the age of 83 I thought I had experienced most of life's activities, that was before I climbed aboard New Moon, a narrow boat moored in Cambridge. The interior of the boat had been planned thoughtfully, with comfort and luxury in mind. Following instructions, the boat was easy to manage and we were soon underway enjoying the scenic route and waving a happy Hello to passing by cyclists, joggers and walkers. It was a fantastic break and one to be repeated ASAP!
