Allen Gardiner River Cruise Restaurant

About

Build in Miami, Florida, in 1942 as a South African Air Force air-sea rescue launch, the Allen Gardiner has the character of a fine wooden ship. In 2011, she underwent a rebuild before being transported to Ipswich from Durban, South Africa. Cruising from the Wet Dock in Ipswich, under the stunning Orwell Bridge and down towards the Port of Felixstowe, the Allen Gardiner offers plenty of space on deck to enjoy the calm waters of the River Orwell during the summer months, as well as a cosy wood burner in the saloon for quieter, more serene winter trips. Enjoy delicious, freshly prepared local food and drinks while you cruise.
