Opera River Cruises

Event information

In partnership with Opera Anywhere we are pleased to further our approach to creating unique river experiences.
The 'Opera Cruise' brings a touch of Venice to Oxford, Opera Anywhere's finest singers host intimate 2 hour cruises, on a 12 seater boat or a punt, travelling along the calm waters of the River Thames departing from Oxford. The cruise will include a performance of a series of popular arias whilst guests are encouraged to picnic on the boat.
The cruise boats, with dining facilities and awning, for protection against inclement weather, have a maximum seating capacity for 10 guests whilst a punt offers an intimate experience for up to 4.
Locations
Departures can be from the moorings at The Perch Inn, Binsey on the beautiful Port Meadow reach of the Thames. The moorings can be reached on foot across Port Meadow from the city centre, or by car. Parking is available.
We can also arrange departures from other locations in and around Oxford. Possibilities include Folly Bridge, Osney Island (for Oxford train and coach stations), Iffley Village, Godstow (for the Trout Inn) and Sandford-on-Thames.
