The Experience

Spend a delightful 90 minutes on board the Maid of the Forth for this sightseeing cruise with afternoon tea along the Firth of Forth.

The sightseeing cruise takes in all three of the Forth Bridges, the Forth Bridge, the Forth Road Bridge and the Queensferry Crossing. The stunning backdrop of the bridges makes this a river cruise to remember, enhanced by an informative commentary that highlights this areas rich history.

As well as the bridges, there's the wildlife to keep an eye out for too! There is a wealth of wildlife to spot, especially as you get closer to Inchcolm Island, with grey seals and seabirds including fulmars, guillemots, razorbills and cormorants. If you're lucky, you may catch a glimpse of dolphins, porpoises or even the occasional whale!

While you're taking in the sights and sounds of your cruise, you can enjoy a delicious afternoon tea, carefully prepared with sandwiches, cakes, scones and tea or coffee. Your afternoon tea will be brought down to the boat at the start of the cruise, giving you the full 90 minutes in which to enjoy it. 

Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free diets can all be catered for and there's the option to add prosecco, the perfect way to celebrate a special occasion!

  • The weather was very windy but sunny so we thought we sould be in for a rough ride, but it was reasonably smooth. Comentry was good, enough to interest the mixed group. It would have been nice to stay on the island, but maybe next time.

  • Four of us took this cruise on The Maid of the Forth. It was a beautiful day which meant we were able to see everything clearly. The crew were very friendly and helpful and the recorded tour guide was clear and informative. Our afternoon tea was beautifully presented and delicious. The only thing that would have improved it would be the addition of paper plates rather than napkins. I would definitely recommend this cruise as something a bit different.

  • Booking system was easy to use. Really enjoyable cruise with very interesting commentary. Staff in the office/shop and on board were very helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon tea with Prosecco.
