'Steamer' services
Cyclists and their bikes are welcome on services operated by our 'steamers' and MV Swift on the Red Cruise (Bowness < > Ambleside) & Yellow Cruise (Bowness < > Lakeside). Operates all year.
- Bikes and e-bikes are welcome if there is space available. Sorry no e-Mopeds.
- Bikes cost £2 extra on the price of your ticket per journey (i.e. Bowness to Ambleside)
- Foot passengers take priority on this service, and our busiest times are from 1pm - 4pm.
- Sorry, no space for bikes on our smaller boats called 'launches'.
