Canal Boat Cruises

If you’re looking for a venue with a difference then Canal Boat Cruises presents Romance, a Luxury cruising restaurant boat in the North West.

Transformed into a wedding venue for the day, Romance has all the amenities your wedding party demand, with one bathroom, an on-board chef, well-stocked bar, air conditioning and heating, waiter service, audio system and disabled access.

When it is time for the photographer to capture those special moments, you will be spoilt for choice with miles of open countryside on your doorstep. Your guests can watch from the luxury of a warm and welcoming boat; ready in a second to join in for those group shots! Guests can even get hands on in opening and closing the locks; which makes for an excellent wedding photo or video.

Not only does our venue provide a unique and memorable experience on the day, lasting memories are created and shared for years to come. After all, how many people can say they took a cruise on their wedding day?

The venue itself comfortably holds a wedding party for up to 37 guests and is ideal for more intimate wedding breakfasts and evening parties. We also welcome a number of honeymooners on our fleet of holiday hire boats where they can celebrate married life cruising through the Lancashire countryside in luxury.

Canal Boat Cruises are a family-run company and look forward to welcoming you to the marina to see first-hand what they can offer you and your guests on one of the most important and memorable days of your lives.
