Glasgow
Stylish and upbeat, Glasgow has entered the 21st century as one of Europe's top arts and nightlife capitals.
Artistic, brash, classical, dynamic, exhuberant - it's difficult to define Glasgow today. Think Manhattan with a Scottish accent - this is a cultural city 52 weeks of the year with world class attractions and conferences and in recognition of it's cosmopolitan appeal, National Geographic Magazine recently declared that Glasgow is the "coolest city in the UK".
The River Clyde has traditionally been the heart of Glasgow, and part of a great and proud heritage.
The river banks are alive with activity as redundant docklands are being re-developed to provide stylish residential properties and a new Financial Services District, while modern cutting-edge Exhibition, Conference and Science Centres now dominate the majestic Clyde.
Departing from our base at the Glasgow Science Centre (south side of river), or from the The Crowne Plaza Hotel landing stage, a charter cruise down the Clyde allows you the opportunity to experience the sights and sounds of this world famous river, and offers an unrivalled opportunity of seeing the changing face of the River Clyde from a different perspective.
All charters are individually planned to suit your requirements, and provide close up views of the following landmarks ;
- Finnieston Crane
- Bells Bridge - which will open especially for your cruise
- Financial Services District
- Tall Ship 'Glenlee'
- New ships under construction at Govan shipyard

- Glasgow Harbour - 120 acre development of former dock and shipyard land - one of the largest waterfront regeneration projects in the UK.
