Three new luxury canal boats are joining our fleet in 2022

Emma Lovell, reservations manager for Anglo Welsh, explains more about our luxury canal boats available to hire in 2022.

This winter we’re building three new luxury 65ft Admiral Class narrow boats, ready to join our top class fleet next Spring.

We are delighted to be launching: ‘Curzon’ at Great Haywood on 11 March; ‘Duncan’ at Wootton Wawen on 12 March; and ‘Codrington’ at Bath on 16 April.

These boats offer extra space and facilities, as well as exacting standards of craftsmanship, comfort and finish.  They will have accommodation for up to four people in two cabins (which can be made up as either doubles or singles), and two spacious bathrooms.  They will have a substantial saloon area with a large TV, WiFi, multi-fuel stove, full radiator central heating, and a spacious kitchen with modern fittings and LED lighting.

Their striking blue and gold livery has been designed with Admiral Nelson in mind, in memory of our late Director Tim Nelson Parker, an incredible character who was devoted to the canals.

We launched our first Admiral Class boats in 2020, building on the popularity of our Heritage, Constellation and Bond Class luxury canal boats.  All these boats offer increased space per person, and particularly high standards of comfort and finish.

2022 Admiral Class prices start at £875 for short break, £1,210 for a week.
