The shimmer of lights reflected on the water and the clinking of champagne glasses make for a classy way to welcome in the New Year. For four hours, the deck of the riverboat is your dancefloor on this celebratory cruise along the Thames. As James, a local expert guide, explains, “It’s always special to see London lit up after dark, but famous landmarks, like the London Eye and Tower Bridge, take on a whole new shine this New Year’s Eve, as the fireworks illuminate the river and skyline.”
Glam up and step aboard your floating party at 9:00pm. It’s the biggest night of the year, so it’s served with the sparkle it deserves, welcoming you with a bottle of champagne to share between two, along with unlimited wine, beer and soft drinks flowing for the night. Plus, there’s canapés and nibbles to fuel your dancing. The live DJ brings the tunes for a party atmosphere, but it’s the location that makes the night dazzle.
You’ll be right on the Thames as Big Ben strikes midnight, ringing in 2027. The banks of the river will be lined by thousands of revellers, with everyone’s eyes fixed up at the sky. London’s New Year’s Eve celebrations are world-renowned. James adds, “This is more than just the whizz and bang of fireworks, it’s an intricately choreographed display with hundreds of drones and lights.” For the full effect, make sure you look out over the river to catch the reflections dancing on the water. The party continues as the boat cruises back to the pier with plenty of time to toast the new year in style.
