NEW HORIZONS BOOKINGS 2021

Dear New Horizons User / Supporter,

I am pleased to tell you that following the publication of the Roadmap by the Prime Minister bookings are now open for the 2021 season which will run from the 29th March. Our new Skipper – Ian Gadd, is looking forward to meeting you!

Initially we will be offering an outside experience for single households, bubbles, families who are allowed to socialise. As we move into the phases of the roadmap we will expand those who are able to enjoy the cruises on New Horizons in line with what is happening nationally.

Please feel free to book ahead.

The prices have been held at the 2020 level.
• £70 for the Morning
• £100 for the Afternoon
• £150 for the Full Day
• £70 for the evening (May to August)

For trips booked in Phases 1 & 2 of the recovery plan there will be a £10 discount per trip.

We no longer take deposits and would like payment in full to secure the bookings.
Payment can be made by:
• Credit / Debit Card
• BACS
• Cheque (Admin Fee of £2.50 will be made for payments by Cheque)
We are using a new accounting system which issues invoices via either email or to a mobile phone number. Details of how to pay will be clear on the invoice. We will not take payments at the time of booking.
If you are not able to use this system please make it clear to the person taking the booking so that we can make alternative arrangements.
