Return Details

Returns to original departure point
Make your own way to the departure pier on the Thames River in Westminster, and step aboard your sightseeing showboat for your evening dinner cruise.

Meet the crew as you're welcomed with a glass of sparkling wine in the lounge saloon. Then, as you sip your drink, soak up your first views of London from the water. Settle into your seat for a 4-course meal of classic British dishes/.

Cruise past famous landmarks such as the Houses of Parliament and the London Eye; snap photos of the monumental dome of St. Paul’s Cathedral; and sail under Tower Bridge as you cruise to the Thames Flood Barrier and back. In the summer months you can catch the sunset, too.

While you eat, enjoy a live performance by a cabaret singer. Listen to a string of pop hits and West End numbers followed by more live entertainment, and if you wish, enjoy ample time to hit the dance floor. Alternatively, simply sit back or head for the outer deck to admire the illuminated sights.

End your showboat experience when you disembark back at the starting point.

The performer was incredibly talented and made the night a lot of fun! The food was not particularly good and the boat itself was a little run down. Despite this I would still recommend for the experience. The views and entertainment were excellent!

Wonderful Experience

I admit that I originally was concerned because of the pricing difference against competition. However, this concern quickly left once we were on board and began. All of the staff was courteous and very efficient with outstanding service. Entertainment was wonderful with a gifted singer and entertainer. The three course meal that was served was more than expected. I can't say enough and even through it was cold for us it was the most enjoyable evening for all and we have discussed doing it again before we leave London.

Tickets mean nothing !
victoria_F
, Dec 2021
Arrived with our ticket to be told we were not on the list and to stand to one side . Once everyone had boarded we were made to stand on the dance floor in front of everyone like naughty school kids whilst the manager told us we were not booked in(even though there was a table set up for 2 empty!). He said he would “fit us in” but as my friend was a vegetarian he didn’t think he had a vegetarian meal available and would go and check . His attitude was awful and when we protested that we had paid 160.00 and had our tickets he did not want to know and said we could go or stay (in the worst possible manner) . Once we were “allowed “ to stay , apart from the vegetarian meals dished up which were awful , it was a good night . Sight seeing was fabulous and entertainment turned the night around for us .

Unfortunate
Jason_P

Food was average, nothing better than a home cooked meal. Entertainment wasn’t as mature & relaxed as we were hoping, too upbeat.. if your looking for a mature dining experience, look further… What it felt like we were truly paying for was for the cruise itself.. which was great… miles better if your a window table. The rest feel cramped. Luckily the seats next to us weren’t taken. If they were then we would’ve been shoulder to shoulder to strangers…
