Celebrate Christmas Day on a Thames lunch cruise with roast turkey, festive music, London landmarks, and open-air river views.
“A fabulous way to spend Christmas. Great vegetarian option. Loved the space between parties on the table to allow for a more intimate setting. Staff were friendly, hospitable and nothing was an issue. Entertainment was great to set the mood.”
Cruise the Thames on Christmas Day, with heated seating, live commentary, festive drinks, and views of Tower Bridge, Big Ben, and more.
“Contrairement à ce qui est marqué, il n’y a pas de traduction en plusieurs langues, dommage pour ceux qui ne sont pas encore a l’aise avec l’anglais Cependant, superbe croisière au départ du Palais de Westminster jusqu’à Tower Bridge, je recommande car ça permet de commencer la journée tranquillement et en ce temps frais, le bateau es chauffé”
Review of York's one-hour festive River Ouse cruise, with mulled wine, mince pie, city views, live commentary, value, and practical tips.
“For the price point you really can't grumble! Our skipper was very enthusiastic and informative, with great knowledge of the city. The weather wasn't great 🫤 but actually it was a perfect activity for a rainy day and the kids enjoyed it too! Overall highly recommend and great value for money 👍🏼”
Review of London’s 3-hour Christmas Party Lunch Cruise, with festive dining, live music, Thames landmarks, pricing, seating, and practical tips.
“Nice food. Friendly staff. Singer had a great voice. Downsides. There were only a few people on the boat so atmosphere rather flat. No one’s fault but the bench style seating made it impossible to get up without asking 3 other people to slide out so made it difficult to chat with other members of our group throughout the trip. Wine quite expensive.”
Review the London New Year's Eve dinner cruise, with Thames views, four-course dining, live music, Champagne, and fireworks near Big Ben.
“Super Check-in problemlos, Plätze im Schiff garantiert. Feuerwerk ist etwas seitlich, was aber aufgrund der Beschränkungen am London eye nicht anders möglich ist. definitiv entspannter als an Themse Stundenlang zu stehen. allein die Unterhaltung auf dem Schiff und Essen macht den etwas eingeschränkten Blick wett.”
Review the London Christmas Party Dinner Cruise, with Thames views, festive dining, dancing, practical tips, and an honest look at its value.
“Het begin was goed. mooie plaats en keurig aangekleed. voorgerecht was prima. Hoofdgerecht was echt bedroevend, ondefinieerbaar maar bovenal koud! Toetje was prima. Geen enkele uitleg over eten of programma. Na het toetje zelf op dek gaan kijken en bij terugkomst koffie gevraagd waar vreemd op gereageerd werd. kreeg de koffie in een kartonnen bekerje. Je zou verwachten dat dit aan tafel geserveerd zou worden. DJ en dansen? er was muziek en er was een groepje turkse damens die de muziek claimde en dus een uurtje turkse disco. Ik had bij kerstmuziek iets anders in mijn gedachte. Personeel was niet zichtbaar en vooral met zichzelf in gesprek. Het zal wel…”
Review of London’s Christmas Day tour and Thames lunch cruise, with sights, timing, food, value, meeting details, and practical advice.
“Excellente excursion pour le jour de Noël et très complete entre le tour des monuments emblématiques de Londres et le déjeuner en croisière sur la Tamise. Juste un bémol irritant; le temps d’attente de presque une heure debout à attendre la croisière.”
Pick a market, a lights route or a sled team.
