The Experience

This charming 45-minute river tour in Shropshire offers stunning views along the River Severn, then when you’re finished you get to enjoy a lovey afternoon tea!

Take a ride on a 60-person, three-deck, modern passenger ship on the River Severn close to Shrewsbury with retractable sides and a roof. On your travels, take in attractions like the Welsh Bridge, Theatre Severn, Shrewsbury Castle, and St. Chad's Church.

Suitable for both adults and kids, there are several opportunities to capture beautiful pictures and listen to the onboard commentary from a qualified local guide emphasising places of interest and local monuments.

Once the tour is complete, you take a short walk to a nearby restaurant for your traditional afternoon tea!

All drinks on board the boat must be purchased yourself.

Important Information

The afternoon tea does not take place on the boat but in a café/restaurant, just a 10 minute walk away. Maps can be provided while on the boat.

  • We really enjoyed our Afternoon Tea Cruise on the River Severn at Shrewsbury. On arrival at the Sabrina boat, the crew welcomed us to our pre allocated seats on the top deck and we were offered drinks/snacks (at extra cost) to enjoy during the trip. This section of the river loops around the City and is very scenic and during the trip the pilot pointed out and gave us a history of the many places of interest. We disembarked and walked for around 10 minutes to the St Vincent restaurant who provided a substantial and delicious afternoon tea. I particularly appreciated the gluten- and lactose-free food they presented me with. Altogether a very enjoyable experience which I would not hesitate to recommend.

  • We really enjoyed our time in Shrewsbury on the river cruise. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Then it was just a short walk through the lovely town for afternoon tea, which was excellent.

  • My husband purchased this for me as a birthday present with an afternoon tea.

    We received our confirmation booking along with very clear and precise directions for parking which were most helpful.

    On arrival at the boat we were warmly greeted and told that our reserved seats were on the upper deck.(No scrambling for the best seats!)

    Our drinks orders were decking before we set off and were delivered quickly.

    A lovely 45 minutes up and down the river with an informative history of Shrewsbury.

    Would definitely recommend this as an experience(along with the afternoon tea
