Orwell River Cruises Limited was specifically formed in 2001 to bring back the pleasure of river cruising to the River Orwell after an absence of such facilities for several decades.
Using its purpose built vessel, ~Orwell Lady~, the company now runs regular, scheduled cruises for up to 118 passengers per trip, leaving from Orwell Quay in Ipswich Wet Dock, along the river Orwell and into Harwich Harbour. She is also available for private hire and is described by company bosses as ~ideal~ for corporate use and parties.
A group of Suffolk businessmen with strong links with the maritime scene is the driving force behind Orwell River Cruises. It had long been an ambition to provide a traditional professionally run river cruise service locally so that more people could experience the wonders of the River Orwell and Stour estuary, including the very impressive Port of Felixstowe, as the River Orwell is one of the most beautiful and historic rivers in the country.
