'Magna Carta'- River Thames (2016)
The River Thames runs throughout the tapestry of English history, and 'Magna Carta' takes you on a voyage of discovery. Cruising between Henley and Hampton Court you see picturesque villages and royal palaces, stop at Windsor Castle and the Astors' lush Cliveden Estate and Gardens, raise a pint at what is reputed to be the oldest inn in England and visit traditional craftsmen at work in a boatyard that has lined the Thames for more than 300 years. Unique itineraries can also be developed for chartering groups with special interests such as theater, antiques, gardens or World War II history.
