One of the best ways to see London in its glory is from the Thames so what better way to celebrate Christmas in London than from the river!

Operating from Monday through to Saturday night during December, The London Showboat Christmas party offers a great value, fun dinner cruise on the Thames with magnificent views of London, a 4-course meal, a live singer and dancing.

You’ll cruise from the heart of historical London, gliding under the famous bridges. Then you’ll see some of the more modern sights, such as Canary Wharf, the O2 Arena and cruise through the Thames Barrier, all spectacular when illuminated. On your return journey, you’ll have the best view of London by night, seeing the colourful, pretty lights on the famous monuments such as Tower Bridge, St Paul’s Cathedral, the Millennium Footbridge, the OXO Tower, Festival Hall, the South Bank’s fairy lights, County Hall, the Houses of Parliament and the London Eye.

The London Showboat Christmas party includes:

The London Showboat Christmas party sails from Westminster Pier at 7:30pm (boarding at 7:15pm). The cruise returns to Westminster Pier at 23:00.
