The North West Best Floating Party Venue!

The Royal Sovereign, located in Chorley, Lancashire, is the largest boat on the Leeds to Liverpool Canal, with space for up to 60 guests. We’re your all-in-one party venue — taking care of everything from food and entertainment to the full cruise experience, all for one set price.

Whether you’re after a lively party night with a DJ or a relaxed daytime scenic cruise, we’ve got you covered. If you prefer to bring your own catering then you can choose our Hire Only option for full flexibility. Cruises run seven days a week, day or night, lasting from 1 hour to as long as you like — you can pick the sailing time that suits your group best.

From hen parties, birthdays, and anniversaries to corporate events, children’s parties, cream tea cruises, and Christmas celebrations, we’ll make sure your occasion is truly unforgettable. Whatever you’re celebrating — or even if you just fancy a get-together with friends — the Royal Sovereign will make it a cruise to remember.

Drinks & Dancing

Inside our central heated cabin you’ll find enough seating for 60 guests, a fully stocked bar serving draught, spirits, snacks and soft drinks. We have a dedicated hardwood dancefloor and DJ setup with a full sound and lighting system.
