Fal River Ferries brings you special afternoon High Tide Cruises on selected dates throughout 2025.
Hop aboard ‘Moyana’ for a luxury cruise up the river to Truro, sail through an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and experience Cornwall from a completely different perspective. This remarkable journey is only possible during the highest tides of the month, when the waters rise sufficiently to navigate the upper reaches of the Fal River. Take in scenic views of secluded creeks, historic quays and abundant wildlife that remain hidden to most visitors.
The Cruise begins at Falmouth’s Prince of Wales Pier at 4:00pm, taking you on a leisurely journey up the magnificent Carrick Roads before meandering through the narrowing river valley towards Truro. You’ll pass ancient woodlands that sweep down to the water’s edge, peaceful waterside hamlets, and perhaps glimpse herons stalking the shallows or kingfishers darting across the water. There’s something truly magical about approaching Cornwall’s only city by water, arriving in Truro at approximately 5:35 pm before beginning the enchanting return journey to Falmouth.
With limited sailing dates throughout 2025, these special cruises often sell out quickly as locals and visitors alike treasure this exciting way of connecting Falmouth and Truro. Return tickets from Falmouth offer the complete round-trip experience, though single journeys can be arranged for those wishing to explore Truro further. Book your place now for this unforgettable voyage along one of Britain’s most beautiful estuaries, a true highlight of any Cornish holiday.
