I had such a beautiful evening on the London night cruise. The Prosecco, tasty canapés and the amazing live singer made the whole experience feel so special. Seeing Big Ben, the Shard, the Houses of Parliament and HMS Belfast lit up from the water was absolutely stunning. The glass boat gave perfect views and the whole night felt calm, cosy and a little bit luxurious. If you want a simple but memorable London experience, this is one I’d fully recommend. ✨🛥️🍾

We enjoyed our River Thames Evening Cruise, especially the stunning night-time views of London—truly the highlight of the experience. The city looked spectacular from the water and made the whole outing feel special. The sparkling wine added a nice touch, though the canapés were fairly average, mostly simple toppings on soft bread. Overall, it was a pleasant evening with beautiful scenery, even if the food could have been a little more exciting.

Took the evening river cruise and absolutely loved it. The views of London at night were stunning — seeing the city lights from the water felt really special. The onboard entertainment was fantastic, with a genuinely talented singer and a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere throughout. The canapés were varied and tasty, and I really appreciated that a staff member went out of his way to organise a separate vegetarian selection for me. Even with a bit of rain, the trip wasn’t spoiled at all. Two hours was the perfect length — enough time to soak it all in without feeling rushed. Would definitely do it again.

Our lunch cruise was canceled due to lack of interest so we paid for the evening cruise. Champagne was one 1/2 glass; more libations for purchase only. The hors d’oeuvres were ok; however, the staff came around to guests only twice to serve. You were expected to serve yourself after that (and we were not told that). The cruise staff did not point out any buildings, etc. Overall not worth the price.

This was an Anniversary present from my husband and it was fabulous. The staff were lovely, very polite and smiled all the time. The meal was great all 4 courses really enjoyable. London at night is so different so pretty. The entertainment was very good a lovely singer who got people up and dancing. I didnt want it to end. Thoroughly recomend this trip.

A great way to spend the evening seeing the lights of the buildings and bridges along the river Thames. Only drawback is no commentary.

Amazing experience! Food and beverage were great, sights were beautiful at night, and the singer they brought on board was fantastic. Highly recommend, especially if it’s your first time in London.

We had a fun night on this cruise and got some incredible photos of the night time lights of London. Music was entertaining. Many people dancing. Food was good, but it was light canopies, so either have a late lunch or plan for dinner after the cruise.
