The Experience

Looking for a gift that’s sure to delight? Why not treat someone special to an unforgettable experience with this Oxford River Cruise with Picnic Lunch. This 3-hour adventure is the perfect way to combine sightseeing, relaxation, and a touch of indulgence, all wrapped up in the charming setting of Oxford’s beautiful waterways. 

Hop aboard one of the elegant electric riverboats, where you’ll be whisked away on a tranquil journey through the heart of Oxford. As you glide along the same route that inspired Lewis Carroll to pen Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, you’ll uncover some of the city’s hidden gems that are often missed by the hustle and bustle of everyday life. From the enchanting Osney Island to the serene stretches of Port Meadow and Godstow, the scenery is simply breathtaking.

But the highlight? A traditional British picnic that’s nothing short of perfect! Provided by the riverside restaurant, The Folly, your picnic basket comes packed with delightful treats to enjoy as you soak in the sights: 
A selection of finger sandwiches, a homemade quiche or tart of the day, fluffy scones served with strawberry jam and clotted cream, and a refreshing elderflower presse to toast the occasion. Everything is elegantly presented in a traditional picnic basket, complete with napkins, crockery, and glasses. And if you fancy a little something extra, you can purchase additional drinks from The Folly before setting sail.

This leisurely river cruise combines the beauty of the outdoors with the simple pleasure of a picnic lunch, all in the company of your closest friends or family. Whether you’re looking for a unique gift idea or simply want to spoil yourself with a day of luxury, this Oxford River Cruise with Picnic Lunch is the perfect choice.
