Select your desired cruise departure and dinner option when you book. Then, on the day, travel independently to the starting pier on the Thames River in Central London.

Step aboard River Room, an elegant Scandinavian cruiser furnished with a dining saloon and expansive outer deck, or the recently refurbished vessel Glass Room, which offers passengers some of the best panoramic views over London.

Take a seat at your table as you sail east along the scenic Thames. Absorb the illuminated sights as darkness falls; relax over your delectable dinner, served by the courteous waiting staff; and lose yourself in the sparkling live entertainment. See the Itinerary for a sample menu.

If you’ve upgraded to the Premier Dinner option, sip on your included half-bottle of wine and mineral water.

During your meal, glide by top London landmarks including the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, the Tate Modern, and the London Eye—all bathed in the radiant glow of sunset or brilliant floodlights. Gaze out over Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, the dome of St Paul’s Cathedral, and the spectacularly lit Tower Bridge.

End your experience back at the starting pier.

I had the Platinum package and it was fantastic. The view of the city, the food, and the entertainment were great. They should include a cocktail and tea/coffee with the top package in the future. Was a great evening overall.

Nigel_H

It was a shambles!. I paid £300 for the Platinum meal for my wife and I which entitled us to a five course meal with wine included. On the night we were served with very little to eat. When we pointed out that we had paid for Platinum, a five course meal, the manager was very apologetic and did her best to rectify the situation. We were told we would receive an email, but that has not been forthcoming. This was clearly an administrative error, the staff were in no way to blame for our poor experience of what should have been a very memorable evening.

Very good but could be improved
john_F
, Aug 2021
The food was good however the service was very slow due to not enough staff. Wine included in the package was poor. Was unlucky enough to sit near Aircon unit and had to ask to turn off a few times also near side door to outside which was drafty so although the overall experience was good it's better to request a table away from those areas. Very good singer.

Fantastic Experience
MartinDavies
, Aug 2021
Would definitely recommend paying for the Platinum experience, we had wonderful views of London from sitting at the front of the boat and the food was excellent. We upgraded our wine choices and the service we received from Angie B was very freindly and professional. We intend to repeat the dinner cruise next year.

A Grand Experience

I want to personally thank Jose for helping a special night so manageable. From when we arrived, Jose made us feel more than welcome and went out of his way to assist me in my special request I had for the night, thank you again! I also want to thank Mauricio who was our waiter for the night and made us feel calm with his exceptional and personable service. All in all, a great night out and one I'd suggest for anyone that wants to take in London's views while sipping on some wine!

The views were immense,the crew on the boat were very helpful and friendly,the food was good and the night was lovely,due to the actual company who run this boat which is not (viator) I payed the top money with the highest package available through viator (platinum package) I think. But when we arrived on what I thought was going to be a very romantic special night for my mrs’s birthday,they had no idea that we were coming! Viator hadn’t even notified them of our names or Type of package That I had payed for with the best window seats and views available. They hadn’t even notified them of our names. They had no idea we were coming wotsoever. I had to stand on The pier next to my girlfriend while they figured out what was going on,all on her birthday surprize.

Evening cruise on the Thames River with dinner and music!
Laurie_S
, Nov 2019
We enjoyed our dinner on the Thames River! The food was very good! We got a welcome drink (Prosecco) and bottle of wine to share for each couple! There was a two piece entertainment, which was nice! The best is the scenery while cruising! This time of year it was dark, but I think cruising at dusk in an earlier month would be awesome! The boat had full length windows so you could see everything! Beautiful going under some of the bridges. We even saw some fireworks!! Loved it!

My family and I took this cruise for my fathers bday. The staff was GREAT, but it was the food that I was not impressed with. We were not given a choice of what we wanted to eat (guests at the table next to us had steak, we had chicken) plus there was not a menu provided prior to booking this cruise.

The staff on this cruise was fantastic. They had us seated quickly and were very friendly and curteous. The food was good and prepared well. We were seated next to the musicians and my only negative comment was due to volume. The Saxaphone was deafening.
