Thames River CruisesThames River Dinner Cruises

Thames River dinner cruise | "Greasing the Thames with gold"

The River Thames, a ribbon of history snaking through the heart of London, has long been a source of inspiration for poets and artists. While Alfred Noyes, in his poem On the Embankment, captured the stark contrast between the merriment within warm interiors and the harsh realities on the cold streets, his words also held a truth about the Thames itself:

“Within, it was color and laughter, warmth and wine. Without, it was darkness, hunger, and bitter cold…”

Noyes might have highlighted societal disparity, but the magic he hinted at within – the warmth, the laughter, the vibrant life –  perfectly embodies the experience of a Thames River evening cruise. As the city lights shimmer on the water and the gentle current carries you along, you’ll encounter the evening of a lifetime, coupled with sparkling wine, canapes, and live music.

Why go on a Thames River dinner cruise?

1/4

Illuminated River Project

Unlike daytime cruises, the evening bears the artistic marvel of the Illuminated River Project. Imagine cruising under 9 bridges adorned with stunning LED light installations. Illuminated River is a massive public art project that will illuminate nine bridges along the Thames River, from London Bridge to Lambeth Bridge. The Thames transforms into a canvas of ever-changing colors and patterns, when on a Thames River dinner cruise.

Perfect for any occasion

Get on a dinner cruise, ideal for pre-dinner drinks, date nights, or hanging out with friends. It's like going to a bar, but better! Enjoy live music, tasty snacks, and amazing views.

Live entertainment

Sip bubbly, nibble on delicious snacks, and take in the stunning sights of London's landmarks. There's no tour guide talking—just relaxing music from a live performer. Choose between the cozy main saloon or the open-air deck, both offering prime views of London's riverside marvels.

Love in the air (and the views!)

The city takes on a whole new character at night. The daytime hustle and bustle melt away, replaced by a romantic, almost ethereal glow. Spot the vibrant nightlife districts like South Bank come alive, their energy pulsing from the river's edge.

Thames River dinner cruise | Route map

Use this map to understand the attractions you'll see and find the most convenient pier for your trip.

Which seat is best for you?

Most cruise boats have both indoor and outdoor seating with two-by-two seats.

For the best selfie spots, pick an outdoor seat for uninterrupted views and perfect photo sessions if you don't mind the somewhat harsh weather. However, it's a good idea to wear clothes that dry quickly if you fear you might get wet.

If you are picking an indoor seat, choose a window seat, especially if you're traveling solo, for a great view. Indoor seats are also great if you think it may rain but want to go on a cruise. These indoor spaces are also heated and most cruise boats are equipped with a full-licensed bar.

What to wear on a Thames River dinner cruise?

thames river dinner cruise
  • The dress code on most Thames river cruises is smart casual attire. However, feel free to dress more formally for any special occasion.
  • Choose comfortable attire that allows freedom of movement. 
  • It's also advisable to dress in layers as London's weather can be quite unpredictable. This way you can add on more layers if the weather gets chilly.
  • Don't forget hats and sunscreen if you opt for a cruise during the day, especially in the summer.
  • Carry a small bag for your sunscreen, water bottle, and camera.
