Proposal Punting
Your proposal story is one that will be told to friends and strangers for years to come, so make sure it’s one to remember with our Proposal Punting tour.
What could be better – popping the question to your loved one whilst floating on the River Cam, surrounded by some of Cambridge’s most spectacular and romantic sights.
Your punt will be decorated with rose petals to make for a flawless proposal, the trip also includes a magnificent bouquet of celebratory flowers for the big occasion and can be further customised upon request.
When you book online, we will contact you to discuss your proposal plans and assist you in organising the experience.
We’ll guide you in selecting the prime location for the big event. You may pick from a handful of places, including the majestic St John’s College Bridge of Sighs and classic open views at King’s College Chapel.
When planning your proposal, our advice is to put your own spin on our punting experience. You’ll be able to arrange personal touches that will make your day unique.
Our photographer option is available for proposals under the renowned Bridge of Sighs, where your photographer can stay out of sight to capture the beautiful moment.
Please choose the proposal punt and photographer tour from the menu. The photographer will photograph the proposal, then accompany you for close-ups and, if desired, staged photographs at different locations.
On the day, your boat will be dressed with plush cushions and cosy blankets and adorned with beautiful petals in the boat. Your guide and your boat will be ready to board at the time you’ve chosen.
Our award-winning punting tour is an iconic Cambridge experience and the perfect way to enjoy some traditional romance. Relax and enjoy the romantic setting with your partner as your expert chauffeur punts you along the College Backs.
At the arranged location, your guide will fall quiet and then the rest is up to you! We’ve got your back and will work to ensure that the day goes smoothly.
Quintessential Cambridge romance!
