This year, the festival will introduce a Boarding Pass that can be purchased for £5, for visitors that can be given an exclusive access to boarding the visiting ships, in addition to meeting the sailing teams and tour beneath the decks at the living and working quarters.
For an extra £2.50, buyers can grab a Boarding Pass Plus that provides access to the National Waterways Museum in Gloucester right, which is anchored in the heart of Docks.
Councillor Andrew Lewis, portfolio holder for Cultural Services, said:
