Graceful Swan Pictures!

November 19 – feature wall by local photographer

We’ve chosen a Yorkshire Dales scene for our feature wall at the front of the boat taken by local photographer Stephen Garnett.

October 19 Group Travel Show with Visit Skipton

We’ve been promoting Graceful Swan at this year’s Group Travel Show in conjunction with Visit Skipton and Rendezvous Hotel. Not only is Skipton a wonderful destination-Graceful Swan certainly adds a unique experience to group dining, the perfect occasion for groups looking for something ‘extra’. We can cater for up to 54 passengers- the right numbers for a coach group!

September 19 – work begins on the interior

Interior samples sourced by Bowman Riley. We love the royal blues for the soft furnishings and the polished and brushed brass trims and grilles for the paneling around the windows and light covers to create a clean, luxurious and contemporary look.
