Go on a Harry Potter River Cruise This Summer
If you’re a true Harry Potter fan, you're going to want to skip the beach, and even the Quidditch World Cup, this summer. Your new vacation plans: a six-day cruise along the River Thames where you'll get to see the IRL locations from the magical series of books and movies.
After setting sail from London, you’ll have a Hogwarts-inspired dinner aboard Barge Lady Cruises' Magna Carta, which has room for you and seven of your BFFS. While the small boat means you won’t have to deal with muggles on your vacation, it comes at a cost - specifically $4,190 per person, so start saving now.
Along the way, you'll visit Virginia Water, the lakeside location where Harry first meets Buckbeak in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and completes the second task in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
Along your journey, you’ll get to see Picket Post Close, where they filmed 4 Privet Drive in the very first Harry Potter movie, and go on a guided tour of the Harry Potter sets at Warner Brothers Studios to see props and costumes from the movies.
The last stop of the cruise is the Great Hall at Christ Church College in Oxford, which inspired Hogwart’s very own Great Hall in the books.
The Harry Potter cruise sets sail August 5 to 11 and August 19 to 25 this year.
