Windermere Lake Cruises

The most popular attraction in Cumbria, located in the heart of the Lake District. Cruises head out across Windermere – England’s largest lake – from three piers situated around the lakeside, in Ambleside, Waterhead Bay and Bowness Bay. There is no better way to see the Heart of the Lake District than by taking a cruise along the waters of Windermere, enjoying the incredible views with a drink from the on board bar.

Also available from the piers at Waterhead, Ambleside and Bowness are self-drive motor boats.

Advantage Club Partners – our Advantage Club members get 10% off cruise tickets

Holiday Home Owners – those with a holiday home at Skelwith Fold may apply for a Local Residents’ Card which grants even greater discounts. Talk to Skelwith Fold Reception or Windermere Lakes Cruises for more information.

PLEASE NOTE Advantage Club and Holiday Home Owner discounts at this location are temporarily suspended
