Paddle steamer Waverley will navigate under the iconic London landmark on two new coach packages from National Holidays and Just Go! Holidays.
The JG Travel Group has enhanced its collection of experiential coach breaks with a new addition featuring a cruise aboard Paddle Steamer Waverley, sailing underneath Tower Bridge as it opens up for passage.
Waverley is the world's last seagoing, passenger-carrying paddle steamer, recently restored to its 1940s style.
Two breaks are on sale, available through Just Go! Holidays and National Holidays. One includes a morning cruise along the Thames to Southend, and one returning from Southend to the capital.
Both options include free time in Southend, with Just Go! Holidays' option available from selected pickup points across England and National Holidays' from its key pickup spots in the north of England.
Joanna Roberts, product director at JG Travel Group, said: “As demand from customers to experience more whilst away continues, this new break is a great addition to our portfolio. Watching Tower Bridge open and then sailing through it will be incredible, and offering both a daytime and evening option means customers can choose exactly how they’d like to enjoy it.
"We featured this amazing paddle steamer last year when it was sailing in Scotland as part of its 75-year anniversary celebrations and the tour proved hugely popular, so I have absolutely no doubt that these new breaks will be in high demand.”
The cruise-and-coach package starts from £189 per person, including return coach travel, one night's bed-and-breakfast accommodation, and free time in London and Southend.
