Overview

This evening boat cruise on the River Thames lasts about three hours and passes many notable London landmarks. The journey starts at Westminster Pier, where passengers should arrive 20 minutes before departure. The boat travels downriver toward the Thames Barrier and back, allowing views of the Houses of Parliament, St. Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, Canary Wharf, the Tower of London, The Shard, HMS Belfast, and the SEA LIFE London Aquarium opposite the boarding point. Dinner is served during the cruise with a fixed three-course menu; soup is no longer included. A pre-cruise glass of sparkling wine or soft drink is provided. Live entertainment with a performer and dancing is available until late. An optional VIP upgrade offers seating at the front of the boat for better views, a welcome glass of champagne, a bottle of still or sparkling water, five canapés before the starter, and a cheeseboard paired with dessert wine to conclude the meal. Tables are fixed and located close together but have panoramic windows that offer views of the riverside skyline from all positions. The cruise is restricted to guests aged 13 and older. Dietary requirements must be specified at booking; last-minute requests on the day cannot be accommodated.
