Ever dreamed of being chauffeured in style from one Harry Potter-inspired landmark to the next? There are countless Harry Potter travel destinations we have on our bucket lists, and now fans can knock out several with just one trip down the River Thames. Traveling by land is for Muggles; floating down a river is much more magical.
Barge Lady Cruises is offering a special itinerary for guests called the Harry Potter Magic Cruise, which allows up to eight guests a chance to spend seven days making stops that fit the theme along the way. The river cruise starts and finishes in London, and travelers can expect to experience places that they'll recognize from the movies. Some of the stops include:
According to Travel and Leisure, guests will also be served Hogwarts-inspired meals by a gourmet chef on board. This year's Harry Potter cruises run Aug. 5-11 and Aug. 19-25, but there's one not-so-tiny catch. You'll need to dip into your pile of galleons — sorry, dollars — for this cruise. The trip costs about $34,000, which can be split up to eight ways ($4,190/person).
