Oxford's sandstone college buildings and pastoral greens offer a glimpse of quintessential England, and serve as the perfect side dish to go with the afternoon tea that you'll enjoy on your cruise down the Thames.

You'll pass along the university's regatta course and see the university college boat house before arriving at Iffley Lock, where the boating culture of Oxford is most prominent. While you enjoy tea, you'll also see Rose Island, a favourite spot of Lewis Carroll.
