We've done this many times but we had free tickets from the hotel so cruised from Lakeside to Bowness.

Fabulous views guaranteed. Very punctual and reliable. We did a return journey and the staff on the way there were lovely, friendly, welcoming - waited for a load of people to buy their tickets and the guy giving the commentry was very amusing. On the way back they were more sensible, there wasn't the laughs we had on the way... More
