Boat Racing on the River Cambridge with Premier Travel & Star Radio

After Hundreds of Entries Over 5 Weeks, it all came down to One Boat Race on One Saturday Morning on a slightly chilly River Cambridge....


In association with Ocean Village & Complete Cruise Solution, Premier Travel & Star Radio ran a promotion across 11 branches. All the contestants had to do was pop into any of the 11 branches to apply to be in with the chance of getting a place at the Grand Final- A boat race on the River Cambridge

At 11am sharp, a boat went out on the river & 11 toy boats were lined up and let go. All boats had a number and inside the boat, written on the hull was a contestants name. There was almost an upset when a large boat came in the opposite direction, we thought for a moment that our toys boats would capsize, but no, they all remained up right and after just a couple of minute we had a clear winner cross the finish line!!

The Grand Final was broadcast live on Star Radio & Paul Waters Head of Sales for Premier announced the winning boat and then finally the winning contestant live on air!

Ocean Village goody bags courtesy of Complete Cruise Solution were given to our runners up & one lucky person was the winner of an Ocean Village Caribbean Cruise!
