River Dancer - 4 berth narrowboat
A 40ft 4 berth narrowboat, suitable for small families or a small group of friends.
- Sleeps 2 to 4
- Pet friendly
- 1 shower
- Departure Point Leeds, Yorkshire
River Dancer is a cosy 4 berth, 40ft holiday boat with a traditional and comfortable interior. She has a separate bedroom which consists of a fixed double bed. The settee can be turned into an additional double.
A canal holiday on River Dancer starts in the bustling city of Leeds which is the perfect starting point for a picturesque cruise down the Aire and Calder Navigation, perhaps with a stop just outside St. Aidans Nature Reserve for a spot of birdwatching. Another option is an energetic cruise up to the World Heritage Site of Saltaire or the picturesque market town of Skipton. On a longer holiday you could also cruise to the famous Standedge Tunnel on the Huddersfield Narrow Canal or even complete the Pennine Ring, which takes about 2.5 - 3 weeks to complete.
If River Dancer is not available for your preferred holiday dates, then why not take a look at Emily, which can also sleep up to 4 people.
