Riverbus: City Cruises
From Campsite To The City - And Back!
Ready to swap the campsite for a day in the city without the traffic?
Trade the stress of the road for the river breeze—your scenic campsite connection to the city is back! Whether you are staying at Naburn, Acaster Malbis, or Bishopthorpe, our Riverbus is the smartest way to leave the car behind and arrive in the heart of York feeling relaxed.
Skip the congestion and arrive in style via the scenic River Ouse.
We love our regular four-legged passengers! Bring your dog at no extra cost.
Spot the 13th-century Bishopthorpe Palace and beautiful local countryside.
Relax on the sun deck or in our heated saloon with full bar facilities.
We strongly advise pre-booking to guarantee your seat.

"I booked a return trip from Naburn Lock. It is totally dog friendly—I'd say most of the people on board had dogs. Easy to book online, clear communication, and everything was bang on time. Such a pleasant, scenic way to travel into the city centre and very good value for money."
