There’s a brand new way to celebrate your most magical fandom on your next trip to England with this new, Harry Potter-inspired, river cruise!
When a Potterhead visits England, they can have a pretty long list of things they want to see that are connected to Harry Potter and the Wizarding World. From visiting sites where the movie was shot, to the WB Studio Tour, to Platform 9 3/4 at King’s Cross, there’s a lot to take in.
Usually, those trips constitute a lot of walking and tube or train rides. But now, thanks to Barge Lady Cruises, you can experience the most magical parts of England with a new river cruise on the Thames.

The Harry Potter cruise on the Magna Carta barge will start by letting patrons experience some truly English things like tea in the historic Stafford Hotel and passing Windsor Castle and Hampton Court Palace. Then, it will take its passengers to some of the most iconic places from the Harry Potter films like Virginia Water (where Harry encounters Buckbeak at the lake in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban), Dorney Court and Picket Post Close (the real-life 4 Privet Drive in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone), and Christ Church College at Oxford University (the Great Hall at Hogwarts).
And while it’s awesome to see the sites where the movie was shot, fans also want to see some glimpses into the movie itself, right? To accomodate that, those on the barge cruise will also get the opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes Harry Potter tour of the Warner Brothers studio in London.
The Magna Carta barge travels on the Thames for seven nights, and all of your food on board the barge and lodging is included in your fare (which will set you back about $5,350). There are two Harry Potter cruises this year, departing on August 5 and August 19, so save your galleons for this unique way to experience England while also celebrating your favorite fandom!
