Testimonials
Suzie
Fantastic! I highly recommend their boat cruise to everyone. The owners were very friendly, enthusiastic, professional and went the extra mile in making our group of home educating families (50 people) feel welcome and provided a brilliant boat cruise experience. They put a huge amount of effort into designing excellent information sheets and spotter sheets for the children. Both the children and adults especially loved searching for the items on the spotter sheet. We spotted lots of wildlife, including one of my favourite birds, the Kingfisher. We hope to return again next year.

Following a successful outing earlier in the summer, we booked our party night in September on the MV Sonning. What a fantastic night - Asa was brilliant co-ordinating the drinks requests, live entertainment and organising a fantastic buffet with great service from Gannets, Richard and his crew (especially the very busy bar staff) looked after us during our trip. It was a party to remember, and still being talked about at work - we're looking forward to another leaving do (or two!) in 2016, just so we can book the boat and have another night out in good surroundings, cruising the Trent and enjoying the great service from everyone at Newark Line River Cruises. Thank you for making our party such a huge success.
