Welcome aboard the 2008 Empress Canal Holidays Website.

Imagine a lazy Summer evening moored alongside a friendly pub, or a cosy night aboard a warm narrowboat, the countryside around you ablaze with Autumn colour.
Or if you fancy some adventure, what about cruising slowly across the world-famous Pontcycyllte Aqueduct, a heart-stopping 38 metres above the beautiful Dee Valley? And if you like sightseeing, you could moor right beneath the historic Roman walls of Chester, a city with almost 2,000 years of history as well as some great shopping!
Whether you want holidays filled with quiet and relaxation or adventure and excitement, the canals have it all.
Based in Nantwich Cheshire we offer canal holidays into North Wales, North West England and the Midlands.
Our Cheshire base is perfectly placed for holidays on the shropshire union, cheshire ring and llangollen Canal
