WINDEMERE LAKE CRUISES
Enjoy
a Cruise on Windermere The perfect way to enjoy the ever changing
panorama of England's largest lake. The steamers are suitable for
wheelchair bound passengers but on board toilet facilities can only
be reached by means of stairs. However there are adapted toilets at
Lakeside, Boweness and Ambleside, and 'Radar' facilities close to
Ambleside and Bowness piers. The main saloons are wheelchair accessible
on Teal and Swan but not on Tern (although there is ample covered
accommodation).
Freedom
of the lake tickets offer the very best value. Available from Lakeside,
Bowness and Ambleside A 24 hour Freedom of the Lake ticket allows
unlimited travel on all scheduled services between Lakeside, Bowness
and Ambleside, and the enchanting Islands Cruise from Bowness. Whichever
pier you sail from the spectacular voyage gives the traveller magnificent
views of mountain scenery, secluded bays and many wooded islands.
Add to this the opportunity to break your journey at the various stops
and you have the makings of a perfect day out. Freedom Tickets are
valid for a period of 24 hours from time/date of issue which gives
the option of using them more than once over a two day period. Strictly
not transferable. The on-board Coffee Shops sell a wide variety of
mouth-watering refreshments including freshly cut sandwiches, scones,
crisps, confectionery, tea, coffee and soft drinks. The bar stocks
a comprehensive range of draught and bottled Beers, Wines and Spirits.
