day cruise trip walesVisitors to Wales have many options as far as sightseeing goes, with bus tours being one — if not the most — popular choice. For those who want to experience a sightseeing tour like no other, consider a day cruise trip through Wales. Cruise along the breathtaking waterways in the heaviest, tallest and longest tourist carrier functioning in the bay.

When you arrive at the departure location — which is located at the historic graving dock Mermaid Quay — you will instantly recognize our distinctive red ship. The entire day cruise trip lasts about 90-minutes and includes an onboard commentary. Our ship is stocked with various teas, coffees and snacks and has an onboard toilet if the mood strikes you. The trip starts in Cardiff Bay and travels to the Cardiff Barrage and through the Bristol Channel and returns to the dock.

A few of the sites you will have the pleasure of seeing is the Cardiff Barrage locks, Wales Millennium Centre, BBC Wales, Penarth Pier, St. David’s Hotel, Cardiff Devils Ice Hockey, Norwegian Church, and views to Steepholm Island and Flatholm Island. For those Whovians who may be on board, you will see the Doctor Who Exhibition.

Perfect for couples, families, single travelers and everyone in between, our day cruise trip Wales is ideal for any tourist looking to experience a different way to see our beautiful locations.

When you’re planning your trip, keep in mind, however, that our ship set sails only on weekends and school holidays when the tide and weather permits
