We are pleased to offer a selection of cruises in conjunction with Kirker Holidays.
As well as many great works from the chamber music and vocal repertoire there will also be music from and reflecting the exotic locations of the cruises.
On board a Kirker Music Cruise programmes may include much-loved favourites as well as introducing less-familiar items and new works.

The other lecturer on this cruise is Christopher Monckton. He was a choral scholar at Magdalen College, Oxford where he developed a passion for both performing and teaching.

He is experienced in leading art and music tours including several music cruises.
A few concerts may be available to all in the Neptune Lounge, but the majority will be restricted to those who have booked for the festival through Kirker Music and held in the acoustically-perfect Marina Theatre.
