Covid-19 - protecting the health of our passengers, volunteers, their families and the community

UPDATE 7th JUNE:
With sadness the Waveney Stardust Charity Board have decided not to operate cruises in 2020
This decision has been taken primarily based on the health risks to our passengers, crew and their families and friends.
The likely development of the pandemic, the age and medical backgrounds of our passengers and crews, and the nature of our boats and cruises combine to create an unacceptable level of risk to health.
In the judgement of the Board this risk outweighs the wellbeing benefits which Waveney Stardust cruises offer.

We will monitor developments of the Covid-19 pandemic in coming months and work hard to find ways which will enable us to re-open safely, with your support. At the moment it is far from clear when this will be possible but we will keep you informed as the situation changes.
Our policy covering Covid-19 is detailed here. We will keep you informed through this web page.

Parking

Beccles - Parking2a
Considerate parking is permitted in the boatyard car park through the generosity of Hippersons Boatyard. Please be careful not to prevent access to boats and leave the roadways clear for boatyard machinery.  If there is room please please just inside the entrance on the right.

Waveney Stardust is based in the large shed in front of you as you enter the boatyard. You can drop people off near the top of the gently sloping ramp but please move your vehicle afterwards.

Please note: It is your responsibility to check parking restrictions / arrangements on the day – WSTL cannot take responsibility for the suitability of parking arrangements for your cruise.
