Questions
We have attempted to answer below some of the questions which guests commonly ask us.

What sort of people travel on Tranquil Rose?
We have a wide range of guests on each cruise - couples, friends travelling together or those travelling on their own. You will quickly make new friends on board. Our guests range in age from thirty to ninety. The holiday can be as active as you wish, but the cruises are equally suitable for those who wish to just relax and watch the world float past.

Which cruise would suit me best?
All the cruises offer wonderful opportunities to see the countryside. If you wish to be active - for example, walking the towpath or assisting with some of the locks, then one of the canal cruises might suit you better.

What can I do on this holiday?
You can do as much or as little as you wish. As well as taking in the countryside, eating sumptuously and enjoying the opportunity to really relax from the pressures of the everyday world, you can walk the towpath, explore quaint villages and shops, visit some famous sights in comparative ease, or paint, sketch, photograph, watch the plentiful
wildlife, enjoy a good read from our extensive library, play games with fellow guests in the evenings, and really enjoy good food served at frequent intervals.

Can I travel alone?
Yes, this is an ideal holiday for those travelling alone - you can have your own singe cabin at no extra cost and you are in a safe friendly environment, where you can quickly make new friends. Travel to and from the boat is easily arranged by public transport or by car, and you will be sure to receive personal service and attention at all times.

How much should I pack?
There is no need to pack an extensive wardrobe - the atmosphere on the boat is quite informal. Guests do not need to dress for dinner. Some stout footwear is advisable, and some waterproofs if you plan to walk the towpath.
The cabins are compact, so one small case should be sufficient.

Can you accommodate my diet?
If you inform us at the time of booking, we will be pleased to help with your dietary needs.

How will I get to the boat?
All our cruises are designed to be easily accessible. Most start and finish near to railway or coach stations, and are a short walk or taxi ride from the public transport. If you wish to arrive by car, we can arrange safe parking.
We will send you detailed joining instructions well in advance of your holiday to inform you just where the boat will be located at the start and end of your cruise.
