Wildlife breaks have been given a boost by the latest series of Springwatch, say inland waterway specialists Crown Blue Line and sister company Connoisseur, whose self-drive cruisers can be chartered in many areas of nature reserve, protected habitat and unspoilt countryside, both in the UK and across Europe.
Marketing manager Sarah Singleton said: “Every Spring and Autumn, Bill Oddie, Kate Humble and Simon King do a great deal to stimulate interest in the birds and mammals that surround us, with a knock-on effect for holidays which let you get close to nature - as do our cruisers.
“Fitted out with home-from-home comforts and needing no experience to drive, our cruisers can get you ‘up close and personal’ to all kinds of wildlife in all kinds of wonderful locations. For example, with many sections of the Norfolk Broads inaccessible by road, cruising on one of our private cabin cruisers is an ideal way to explore, finding quiet spots to drop anchor or moor by a bank, and watch birds and mammals busy themselves around you, oblivious to your presence.
“Or go further afield to the vast and beautiful nature reserves of the Camargue in the South of France, or the Po Delta in Italy, where the sundeck of a luxury cruiser is the finest vantage point for fabulous wildlife-viewing. From feedback from our customers, we know that top boating destinations for nature-watching also include the upper reaches of the Lot in France, loved for its honey buzzards, black kites and golden orioles, the crystal clear waters of the Mecklenburg area of northern Germany, home to Europe’s largest collection of freshwater fish, and the Scottish Highlands, where with luck you’ll get to see red deer, eagles, buzzards, ospreys and more.”
With over 40 bases across France, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Ireland, Scotland and England, and with a range of cruisers to suit all party sizes and budgets, Crown Blue Line and Connoisseur together offer the widest possible choice of wildlife break by boat. Prices for a traditional class cruiser sleeping four start from £540 a week (£135 per person), with a top end luxury Elite cruiser for four starting from £975 a week (£244 per person).
