Classic River Cruises

London

Experiences Flash element
 

Enjoy a classic dinner cruise combining delicious food with an evening tour of London's most famous landmarks all from the water, as you set sail from Embankment Pier on the north Thames shoreline.

The experience starts as soon as you climb aboard the riverboat as you're handed a welcome drink. A full four course a la carte dinner that has been freshly prepared in the boat's kitchen is then served at your table over the duration of the two and three quarter hour cruise along the Thames taking all the famous sights on the way.

As you finish your dinner with coffee and mints whilst watching the sun set over the Thames and her landmarks, you'll be serenaded with music - a toe tapping blend of jazz and classic hits from the 70s, 80s and 90s from a live four piece band - as your riverboat heads back to Embankment Pier.

For classic dinner cruises for more than 20 guests please call us. A fixed menu or supplement for the a la carte menu will apply. Visit IntotheBlue's luncheon and dining home page for more Thames dinner cruise experiences and there's always our gift ideas page for more IntotheBlue gift suggestions.
