Moët Champagne & Oysters Cruise
There are boat trips… and then there’s this. Dorset Cruises have teamed up with the world-famous Moët & Chandon to offer a truly exquisite experience: a Champagne and Oyster masterclass cruise with a twist of local heritage and culinary storytelling.
Step aboard the beautifully restored Dorset Queen, the only vintage motor yacht of her kind on the South Coast, and set sail across the calm, sparkling waters of Poole Harbour. This four hour cruise takes you directly over the oyster beds of Balls Lake, where you’ll enjoy a guided masterclass on the journey our local oysters take, from tiny seed to celebrated delicacy.
As you cruise past the historic coastline and millionaire’s row, indulge in freshly shucked Poole Bay oysters paired with chilled Moët & Chandon Champagne. This is a once in a life time opportunity to learn the backstory of Oyster Farming in Poole Harbour, whilst enjoying the delicacies being produced here, right on our doorstep.
Whether you’re marking a special occasion, entertaining clients, or just want to do something unforgettable, the Moët & Oyster Cruise is Dorset’s most decadent experience on the water.
Sail Into Forever on Dorset’s Most Iconic Wedding Venue
Imagine stepping onto a beautifully dressed 1938 vintage motor yacht, greeted with chilled Champagne and surrounded by your favourite people as you glide across Poole Harbour. Welcome to weddings, the Dorset Cruises way.
Dorset Queen provides the perfect setting for your big day, whether it’s as transport to and from your wedding venue, or as the host of your evening reception. With space for up to 80 guests and breathtaking panoramic views from every deck, it provides a unique celebration on the water.
Couples can exchange vows during a symbolic ceremony anchored in a picturesque bay, or celebrate post-nuptials with a cruise past the coastline’s most iconic sights: Brownsea Castle, the Jurassic Coast, Millionaire’s Row and more.
With onboard catering, artisan gins, a dedicated Prosecco bar, and even a DJ-ready sound system, you’ll have everything you need to create unforgettable memories on the water.
An Elegant Cruise Experience with a Taste of Tradition
For those who appreciate the finer things in life, Dorset Cruises presents an exquisite Afternoon High Tea aboard Dorset Queen, offering timeless elegance, indulgent hos-
pitality, and sweeping views of Poole Harbour.
This is no ordinary afternoon tea. Served on vintage crockery and accompanied by the gentle sway of the water, guests enjoy a seasonal selection of delicate finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones with clotted cream and jam, and handmade patisserie, all paired with Dorset Tea or a glass of chilled fizz.
Cruise past the harbour’s historic landmarks, secluded bays, and grand coastal homes, all while enjoying the most civilised of British traditions.
Private bookings are also available for birthdays, baby showers, or intimate gatherings, adding that extra layer of charm to your event.
