After our biggest and best range of cruises this year, we've still got some great trips to experience. Take to the water and discover the city's rich and diverse heritage from the comfort of a boat as you cruise through the city. We still have routes along the Bridgewater Canal to enjoy. It's the perfect way to watch the world go by and discover more about Salford's famous waterways.

Cruises are priced at £8.00 (unless otherwise stated) children under
two go free. Cruises must be booked in advance.
To book tickets call Salford Tourist Information Centre on 0161 848 8601. Places are limited and are extremely popular so book early to avoid disappointment. All cruises offer an insightful and informative on-board commentary.
