Hop abord the The oldest paddle steamer with accommodation in the world! A fully restored heritage vessel built in 1897, the Marion was recommissioned in late 1994 following her restoration by a dedicated team of volunteers who contributed many thousands of hours to this project. Being one of the last steam driven, wood fired, overnight passenger carrying side paddle steamers in the world, she stands now as a testament to their enthusiasm and dedication. PS Marion continues to be maintained and crewed by volunteers. Come aboard and enjoy a festive Christmas Twilight Cruise on the PS Marion.
