Excellence Afloat at Valley Cruises is a small family operated luxury narrow boat hire firm offering you the highest standards of service and accommodation for canal holidays. We pride ourselves on our friendly and helpful approach, giving attention to every detail of our canal holidays. Most of our fleet achieve a full five star rating having been inspected annually by Visit Britain.

We can offer the widest range of canal holidays with routes from the lock free Ashby Canal to the beautiful Oxford Canal and the fascinating Warwickshire Ring and Leicestershire Ring.
We also have a Stratford-upon-Avon - Home of Shakespeare - Hire Base.

Our base in Stratford upon Avon is the perfect starting point for that magical trip to the theatre or exploring some of the most breath taking scenery in the country. Cruising Southwards for just one hour will take you to the fascinating Stratford Basin, followed by the River Avon with lovely scenery and historic villages and towns. Northwards takes you along the more tranquil Stratford Canal, through lots of locks up to Kingswood Junction with its choice of three directions. From there you can cruise the Birmingham mini ring, travel along the Grand Union Canal to Stoke Bruene or, in ten days or more you can complete the Warwickshire Ring, or head further North towards Great Haywood.
