Sometimes a single day on board Excalibur simply isn’t enough…
If you are planning a short break, or a romantic trip this summer, don’t forget the beauty on your doorstep – the River Thames. Excalibur is available for short breaks and holidays for exclusively two people.

So much to see & explore on the Thames
Frequently asked questions
Will I get seasick?
The inland waterways of Britain are nothing like the seas around our coasts. The non-tidal River Thames is untroubled by waves any bigger than a duck’s leg, and the only movement you will feel will be if another boat goes past us too fast. So no, seasickness won’t be an issue.
Is it cold on board in the winter, and hot in the summer?
If only British weather was that predictable! But if it is cold outside we have central heating and/or a woodburning stove on board, and if it’s hot outside we have an air-conditioning unit and lots of windows and hatches.
Can we bring guests on board?
Up to two guests are welcome to join you for dinner or even for a day or two of your holiday (and will be charged for accordingly) – whether you know they are coming before your holiday, or during it (with as much warning as possible please!).
Can we smoke on board?
Smoking is not permitted in or on any part of Excalibur.
Can you cater for dietary needs?
In our pre-holiday/dinner/day-out booking process we will ask for dietary requirements – and will aim to cater for most. Also if there is something you just don’t like (e.g. Aubergines, celery, lamb, tomatoes, Marmite) …. Just tell us, and we’ll keep it out of your way!
Can we bring our dog on board?
Unfortunately we are not able to accommodate animals (other than our own two cats, Berty and Mavis).
What is there to do on board Excalibur?
You will have free access to the onboard WiFi (the signal is better in some places than others along the River!), which provides for onboard TV, but there is also a wireless speaker to attach to the music on your phone. We also provide a limited range of board games, packs of cards, and a nice selection of books.
