Santa Cruises
If you’re looking for a Christmas outing that feels properly special, a narrowboat trip with Santa on board could be just the thing. The Boat Inn at Stoke Bruerne is running Santa Cruises this December, and it’s a lovely twist on the usual Santa visit for little ones.
What to expect on the Santa Cruise
You’ll set off from The Boat Inn on an 80 minute cruise (approximate duration) aboard the narrowboat ‘Indian Chief’. The journey takes you through Blisworth Tunnel to Blisworth, where Santa joins the boat for the return trip. He then meets each child and gives them a present.
There are party games and music during the cruise too, so there’s plenty to keep little ones busy while you wait for Santa to hop on board.
What’s included
- An 80 minute cruise (approximate duration)
- Mince pies and crispy cakes
- Soft drinks
- Tea, coffee and mulled wine
- Christmas crackers
- A present for each child
- Party games and music during the cruise
