England on the River Thames

Cruising on the Royal River Thames, the 8 passenger deluxe barge, Magna Carta, explores riverside towns and villages with a real mixture of old world England and the natural beauty of the English countryside.

Between Henley-on-Thames and Hampton Court Palace

As Magna Carta floats through Surrey, Berkshire and Oxfordshire, guests will enjoy historic sites such as Henry VIII’s Hampton Court and Windsor Castle.
