Swingbridge Santa River Cruise in Guildford

Swingbridge Santa River Cruise in Guildford

Step aboard Swingbridge Tranquility, our beautiful, accessible broadbeam boat, this festive season and glide gently along the picturesque River Wey. Our Santa Cruises offer a warm and inviting atmosphere where families can come together and share in the festive spirit.

Sailing from Sea Cadet HQ at Dapdune Wharf in Guildford (please note: this is a change of location from previous years), the approximately 45-minute cruise travels gently along the River Wey before returning to the same departure point. During the experience, Santa will join us on board with his sack of gifts, giving each child the special opportunity to meet him and receive an age-appropriate gift.

While relaxing on board, adults can enjoy a glass of mulled wine and a mince pie. Children will be treated to festive refreshments, including delicious biscuits. Although these experiences are especially suited to families with younger children, everyone is warmly welcome to join us.

Santa Cruises will take place on selected dates from 5 December to 22 December 2026. Tickets cost £15 per person, plus a 10% booking fee (£1.50), making the total £16.50 per person. The ticket price and booking fee will be shown separately during booking.

Your booking includes either the sailing or static Santa experience, an age-appropriate gift from Santa for each child and festive refreshments.

All profits raised will support our work to empower local people and families to build their confidence, improve their wellbeing and create brighter futures.
