Full Day Five Star Cruise on the Upper Thames with Four Course Lunch for £80 on the Barge Louisa (£200 Value)
Modern travel has lost all the romanticism of the antiquated modes, now commuters are crammed onto flying sardine tins or boiling their tempers in traffic jams. Avoid the argy bargy with today's Groupon: for £80 instead of £200 cruise the Upper Thames with a four course meal on five star Barge Louisa.
A Dutch barge refurbished in 2010 to five star standards, Louisa now cruises the Thames in a leisurely fashion, manned by a dedicated crew and chartered out to discerning voyagers. Below guests will find a library, TV and DVD, BOSE sound system and a computer with internet access, but the main event is on the spacious deck, with ample room to move around, sunbathe, or enjoy the views from the comfort of the deck furniture.
Today's peregrinating Groupon is a pass to cruise the Upper Thames on Louisa. The day will begin at Mapledurham House with a welcoming glass of Buck's Fizz and introduction to captain at 10am. After an informal safety briefing the barge will get underway, meandering along the sweet Thames towards Goring. Mooring at 12.30pm, the chef will have thirty minutes steadiness to put the finishing touches to a four course meal. Starter options include the Thai fish cakes or Mediterranean vegetable soup, while main dishes such as chicken with mushrooms and sweet brown onions in rich white wine sauce, or spaghetti with fresh tomato and basil sauce and parmesan cheese might tempt wobbly legged diners. After dessert 2.30pm will mark the beginning of the return cruise, arriving back at 4pm for cream teas before disembarkation at 5pm.
