WILMINGTON, N.C. (July 20, 2010) – PerryGolf has added to its golf cruising options with a luxury river barge that sails the River Thames through London’s western suburbs and the nearby English countryside. The Magna Carta offers a maximum of eight passengers a leisurely six-night cruise that combines golf at four remarkable courses, including world-renowned Sunningdale, along with spectacular scenery, dining and service.
Custom tours along one of the world’s most historically significant waterways, giving guests a look at the pastoral countryside of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire counties, are priced from $4,525 to $6,625 per person, depending on season and the number of guests onboard.
Following a round of golf in the morning, the 116-foot Magna Carta quietly sails for several hours as she moves to her next river mooring.
“It’s a splendid way to spend a day, relaxing after a round of golf and watching the world glide by,” says Gordon Dalgleish, president of PerryGolf.
Magna Carta, which was lavishly restored in 2002, offers four generously proportioned and beautifully furnished staterooms, each with a spacious en suite facility.
In addition to Sunningdale, which was established in 1901 and is regarded as one of the top courses in the world, golfers may choose to play The Berkshire, Walton Heath and Hampton Court Palace Golf Club, which is adjacent to the Thames and the only golf course within the grounds of a royal palace.
Sightseeing visits are planned to Hampton Court Palace, Tudor Palace of Henry VIII, Windsor Castle and the Magna Carta Memorial.
PerryGolf also offers escorted and custom golf tours on the18-passenger luxury barge Le Phénicien along the Rhône River and the Rhône-Sete canal between Avignon and Aigues-Mortes in southern France.
