Christmas Canal Cruise

Cruise along the oldest working shipping canal in Europe!
What could be better than a Cathedral Christmas Market in the Heart of Devon, with iconic views, a festive atmosphere and a boat cruise along the Exeter Canal!

Join us travelling at a relaxing pace as we sail along Exeter Canal, sit back and soak up the scenery, watch the locks come to life, the swing bridge majestically open, before enjoying the seaside town of Exmouth or Exeter’s Historic Quayside. We set sail during the Exeter Cathedral Christmas market meaning you are in for a festive treat, full of Christmas gifts the whole family will love and cherish.

This is a one-way trip where you can either board from Exmouth to travel up to Exeter or depart from Exeter to travel to Exmouth. For your return journey there are ample public transport links within a few minutes flat walk at both Exmouth and Exeter and our crew will be happy to point the way!

Visit Exeter Cathedral Christmas Market on the city’s iconic Cathedral Green, and enter a winter wonderland set among a labyrinth of winding lanes, festooned with fairy lights and laced with the seasonal sights and smells of more than a hundred festive chalets.

Explore a vast range of delicious global street food options, bars, local West Country produce, unique hand-crafted gifts, decorations and much more. You will find activities and performances – including seasonal singing from the world-class Exeter Cathedral Choir – to entertain once the shopping is done, as well as an opportunity to step inside the awe-inspiring Gothic cathedral.

You can either travel to or from the market along the Exeter Canal onboard the Pride of Exmouth. Opened in 1566 this 6-mile-long canal was originally 16 feet wide and 3-foot-deep but was extended in 1701 to allow for larger crafts. It was the first canal to be built in Britain since Roman times and the oldest working shipping canal in Europe linking Exeter and Exmouth.
