City Cruises - Kings Staith, King's Staith, York YO1 9SN, UK (Pontoon 1)

Take home fascinating facts about the incredible history of York and its river from the live sightseeing commentary delivered by our local skippers.

Learn about York’s famous history of flooding and its previous prosperity as an inland port, all while sailing along the river that brought the Romans and the Vikings to our beautiful city.

Head upstream to the northern outskirts of the city and then downstream as far as Millennium Bridge on the southern outskirts of the city, before returning upstream to the landing stage you departed from. On the route, you'll spot York Minster, Clifford's Tower, York's Bridges, the Museum Gardens, the Guildhall and much, much more!

While on-board, treat yourself to a refreshing drink from the bar whilst resting your feet. Our fleet of boats feature fully stocked bars with beers, wines, spirits, soft drinks, hot drinks and snacks available for purchase.
