Royal Wedding Celebrations Boost River Thames Cruising

The recent announcement of the royal wedding date for Prince Harry’s marriage to Meghan Markle has sparked a nationwide flurry of excitement. On 19th May 2018, all eyes will be on Windsor Castle where the couple are due to be wed, and keen admirers will be travelling down from all over the country to soak up the atmosphere around the celebration.

Now those with a love of boating can fuel their fascination with the royal wedding on one of Le Boat’s Thames cruises, which pass by Windsor Castle on Prince Harry’s wedding day.

Self-drive river craft cruise specialist, Le Boat, is offering a selection of May cruises that pass by Windsor Castle on the big day, ranging from one to two week voyages.

After a day of jubilance around the ceremony, visitors can escape the crowds and relax in the comfort of their stylish river cruiser. Those travelling by boat will be privileged to benefit from one of the most impressive views of the majestic Windsor Castle which overlooks the river.

For the full royal experience, stop off at Eton where Prince Harry spent his college years, or visit Hampton Court Palace whose long history of royals is preserved on its ancient walls.
