The John Bunyan Boat team have announced a series of socially distanced cruises over the May Bank Holiday weekend to launch their summer season.

The four 45-minute cruises will run along the Embankment from Sovereign’s Quay on 31 May.

“It’s the perfect way to try the John Bunyan Boat for the first time, and great for families with young children,” said Graham Mabbutt from the John Bunyan Boat team.

“We’d advise booking in advance, as these cruises are very popular during the Bank Holiday weekend and sell out very quickly.”

In June, the John Bunyan Boat’s popular two-hour afternoon cruises will return, running on Thursdays and Sundays from Sovereigns Quay.

Due to social distancing, passenger numbers will also be limited to 12 and prices are £26 for a table for two, or £52 for a table of four.

“We will have Cream Teas available to order in advance with your ticket,” said Graham. “And as an extra treat, on cruises running during this year’s #fiverfest (12 – 26 June) you can select a Cream Tea for just £5.”
