Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Book tickets in advance, especially for weekend dates, as these popular Santa cruises tend to sell out quickly.
- Arrive at the Broads Tours boatyard in Wroxham a little before your scheduled departure time to allow for parking and boarding.
- While the cruise is festive, dress warmly as it can be chilly on the water, even with the onboard treats.
- For those under 3 years old, the reduced rate applies and they will still receive a present from Santa.
- Consider using public transport if possible, as parking can be busy during peak times, and the bus and train stops are conveniently located.
