Thames River Christmas Party Cruise

Celebrate the festive season on the Thames with a seated meal, entertainment and London riverfront views. Choose a daytime lunch outing or a longer evening party cruise, matching the atmosphere and schedule to the occasion rather than assuming both departures offer the same programme.

Which Thames Christmas Party Lunch or Dinner Cruise ticket should I choose?

Lunch is a three-hour cruise from Westminster Pier with a three-course menu and live music. Dinner is four hours from Tower Millennium Pier, adding DJ entertainment, dancing and half a bottle of wine per person. Both include a welcome sparkling wine and tea or coffee; extra bar purchases are separate.

Getting to City Cruises Thames Christmas party

Check the pier for your selected meal before travelling and arrive before boarding closes. Tables are allocated and small parties may share. Wear festive smart-casual clothing, discuss dietary requirements before booking and check access needs: the operator does not describe the cruise as wheelchair accessible.

Check the selected sailing’s age conditions; the operator describes the party experience for adult guests.
