What To Expect

Make your own way to the departure pier on the Thames River in Westminster, and step aboard your sightseeing showboat for your evening dinner cruise.

Meet the crew as you're welcomed with a glass of sparkling wine in the lounge saloon. Then, as you sip your drink, soak up your first views of London from the water. Settle into your seat for a 4-course meal of classic British dishes.

Cruise past famous landmarks such as the Houses of Parliament and the London Eye; snap photos of the monumental dome of St. Paul’s Cathedral; and sail under Tower Bridge as you cruise to the Thames Flood Barrier and back. In the summer months you can catch the sunset, too.

While you eat, enjoy a live musical performance and, if you wish, ample time to hit the dance floor. Alternatively, simply sit back or head for the outer deck to admire the illuminated sights.

End your experience when you disembark back at the starting point.

Not worth what you pay.
Brayan_C, May 2024
The dinner cruise was not the best. Especially for the price. Upon arriving, we learned our family of 6 had to be split up into different tables. It would have been nice to know that beforehand so we really couldn't have a family dinner. The performer was the only good part of it, she was fantastic at singing. The dinner was very small and it didn't include any drinks. The boat also swayed a lot more than seemed acceptable, making some of us seasick. You also couldn't step outside for the views and some tables had obstructed views. Again for paying $151 per person for a dinner, this was lacking a lot and not worth the price. I do not recommend this dinner cruise as it was way too expensive for what you got.
Great evening
Lorraine_J, May 2024
Food, staff and entertainment amazing. The view of the city at night was breathtaking. A definite must do.
Let’s do it again!

Tina_F, Apr 2024
So enjoyable and relaxing yet live entertainment made it fun too! Dinner was delicious as were the drinks
Far Exceeded Expectations!! Highly Recommend!! Hard to finding entrance!!
Mark_T, Apr 2024
This Dinner Cruise far exceeded our expectations. The food was excellent, the service and entertainment were wonderful. Highly Recommend. Photos opportunities incredible. Only issue we had was finding the entrance. We arrived a good half hour early and went in the wrong direction. By the time we found it, we only had 7 minutes to spare. Would appreciate clearer instructions on where we were to go.
I would recommend, to a friend
Dierdra_E, Apr 2024
Truly enjoyed the nightly views and Dinner was excellent and the live music was entertaining. I was pleasantly pleased..
We had a wonderful time....
Thomas_C, Apr 2024
We had a wonderful time. The food was delicious and Becky, the entertainer, was out of this world. She has the most beautiful voice and her energy level was infectious. Her music sets were spot on and completed the evening.
A bit disappointing
Luis_H, Apr 2024
The crew was great, the singer spectacular. Unfortunately, they did not have a lot of the drinks and entrees on the menu. They were very apologetic and professional about it, but when your main product is dinner, it’s just not right.
Light it Up on the River
Annette_H, Apr 2024
Awesome views, quality food and staff. Very nice experience in the night life dinning. The views is amazing and the river long
A cramped dinner setup
David_K, Apr 2024
I must have misunderstood the excursion as I did not realize that my girlfriend and I would be sitting with another couple so close at the dinner table that our shoulders touched. It was awkward and we took turns sitting at the table and going outside. It was not clear that there were private tables available and I would not recommend the seating we had to anyone that was not traveling together. The cruise itself was beautiful. It was a wonderful night to be outside and take in the sites. The food was pretty good as well as was the service.
Superb

Great views!
stacey_H, Apr 2024
The nighttime views in a relaxing setting make this trip so worthwhile! The food is tasty with chicken, veggies and soup and salad. Not too fancy for those picky eaters! The entertainment is mediocre, but enjoyable.
Good

Showed up, had paid with...
Daniel_V, Mar 2024
Showed up, had paid with a group of 8 people and were not allowed to eat dinner because they didn't recognize our voucher. Don't like the way Viator does their reservations. Very Poor
Very disappointing
Richard_E, Mar 2024
Definitely was not worth the price. The most disappointing was no info what we sailed by. Seating was very cramped!
