Lady Florence cruises the Rivers Alde and Ore for 2½ hours during which a 3 course American style brunch is served.

With a glass of fresh orange juice, we leave the quay and cruise downstream past Havergate Island. At the southern end, fresh grapefruit is served followed by a cooked English breakfast plus American hash-brown potatoes. On deck again, we sail upstream to Aldeburgh, and on the return to Orford serve on deck (weather permitting) hot American muffins and apple pie and cream. A fully stocked bar is available and there is an informative commentary throughout.

The brunch cruise operates from 9.30am to 12 noon daily all year round, regardless of weather and tides, and costs £21.95 per person or £263.40 for a private charter of up to 12. A 10% service charge is added to all prices, and only cash or cheques are accepted.

Champagne Brunch - as above, but celebrate with Champagne or sparkling wine from £13.75 per bottle.
