In this issue of Community Update, we are pleased to announce that we have selected Windermere Lake Cruises as the recipient of our Commitment to Excellence Award.
With its origins tracing back to the mid 1850’s, Windermere Lake Cruises was first established by a consortium of local boatmen and has grown into one of Windermere’s most loved and treasured attractions to tourists from around the world.
“Windermere Lake Cruises has more than 10 scenic cruises to choose from ranging from 30 minutes to 3 hours. Passengers can relax and enjoy the stunning Windermere scenery from on board any cruise, learn about the beautiful landscape, the lake’s fascinating history and its nature and wildlife. Passengers can combine a cruise on traditional ‘Steamer’ ships and modern launches with walks, visitor attractions and picturesque Lakeland villages. Popular all-year round cruises include the Red Cruise that connects Bowness, Brockhole, Lake District Visitor Centre and Ambleside. Pick the Yellow Cruise to explore the southern half of Windermere with regular sailings between Bowness and Lakeside, and for anyone stuck for time or wanting to sample the sights and sounds of Windermere, hop on the Blue (Islands) Cruise from Bowness. There is also a ‘Freedom of the Lake’ ticket allowing unlimited boat travel on all cruises for 24 hours,” explained Jennifer Cormack, Sales and Marketing Director.
There are also packages that cater to groups and schools from all over the world that offer over 30 hand-picked itineraries involving local partnerships with other local attractions. The company offer some fantastic incentives such as 10% discount to all passengers for the café and gift shop, discounted rates for all groups and schools and free parking and voucher refreshments for all drivers.
As a three-time finalist at the British Coach Tourism Awards, alongside winning top honours twice over recent years, Windermere Lake Cruises has a solid reputation amongst the community and its customers of providing a fun-filled, unforgettable, customer centred service. “Our services offer scenic, informative and friendly cruises where catering can also be provided on board if required. We have just launched the MV Swift, our new 300 seat boat which is the first of its kind to hit the Windermere waters for more than 80 years!” stated Jennifer.
As we enter the winter months, don’t be put off by the good old British weather. Winter in Windermere offers stunning winter landscapes in the heart of the Lake District that can be viewed whilst sipping a winter warmer in the heated cabin of a Windermere launch.
