The cruise takes you under the magical Gateshead Millennium
Bridge, which opens especially for the cruise to enjoy the panorama
of the Tyne Gorge before returning downriver as far as the river
mouth. On the cruise you will see the legendary shipyards of
Tyneside, the International Ferry Terminals, the Port of Tyne, the
Fish Quay and the glorious vistas of the river mouth, including
Tynemouth Castle and Priory, the memorial to Admiral Lord
Collingwood and the beautiful sandy beaches of South Shields.
The cruise turns at the piers, where seals and dolphins are
regularly seen and returns to Newcastle's Quayside.
The cruise will be accompanied by fascinating commentary from a
knowledgeable guide who on the return journey will answer any of
your questions and discuss any aspect of the cruise.
While on board you will be able to sit back and relax in the
comfortable surroundings, watch the scenery go by and, if tempted,
purchase drinks and snacks from the bar.
After the cruise, why not stroll the Newcastle Quayside or cross
the Millenium Bridge and visit the Baltic Centre for Contemporary
Art (free admission) or take a closer look at The Sage.
Departure Point located 200m downstream of the Newcastle
end of the Millenium Bridge
