Google Earth Virtual Tours of UK Boat Bases

Zoom into the various UK canal boat bases for more information and directions of how to get there

Blue Water Holidays has created 15 virtual boat base tours using Google Earth - the FREE software from Google which allows you to tour and zoom into locations on Earth. The detail is amazing!

To view the cruises you will need to have Google Earth installed on your computer - and you will need a broadband connection.

If you do not have Google Earth on your computer go to our Google Earth info pages for a step by step guide

When Google Earth is installed you can just click on the links below to download our virtual cruises. Please note that the routes shown on the map are an indication only; actual route taken by a ship will depend on many factors.
