About

The Nottingham Crusader is a river cruiser sailing on The River Trent in Nottingham, that was purpose-built in 2000 to carry disabled passengers for the St John Ambulance's Waterwing. Following on from the dissolution of the Waterwing in 2014, Trent River Cruises took over the operation of The Nottingham Crusader and we continue to offer three hour not-for-profit cruises twice daily throughout the year specifically for disabled groups, residential and nursing homes, educational facilities, youth groups and registered charities. These cruises provide a valuable service to many people and allow for viewing the river in all its seasonal glory from the comfort of our centrally-heated river cruiser. Tea and coffee is provided free-of-charge throughout the cruise. Groups have the option of providing their own catering or can upgrade from the basic cruise package to one that includes food. Pre-booking is essential.

Disabled Access Information Provided by Trent River Cruises

Disabled Access at Trent River Cruises

Passengers board the boat via a ramp. All doors are double-doors and are therefore wide enough to admit a wheelchair. The boat is single-decked with wheelchair access throughout the passenger areas.

Accessible parking at Trent River Cruises

The boat sails from Colwick Marina in the grounds of Colwick Country Park. Access to the park is through a pay-barrier but free admittance is given to Nottingham Crusader passengers. There is free parking near the boat moorings and a pick-up/drop-off point right outside the moorings with enough space for a minibus with wheelchair ramp to easily load and unload passengers.

Dedicated on-site parking

On-site accessible parking bays are available within 50 metres of the entrance.

Toilets features at Trent River Cruises

There are two toilets onboard, one of which is a wheelchair-accessible toilet with enough space for one wheelchair-user and carer(s). There is a low-level sink and handrails, which can be raised and lowered as needed, on either side of the toilet.

Accessible toilet

A designated accessible toilet designed for wheelchair users and others with visible and non-visible accessibility requirements is available within the main public areas.
