Imagine a leisurely evening cruise through the heart of London, with its famous sights illuminated for most of the year and the added delight of sunset before the lights come on in summer. Add to that a welcome drink when you board, a four-course dinner with half a bottle of wine, a live singer performing songs from West End shows plus dancing to finish and there you have it, the perfect combination for a great, fun-filled evening.
You'll cruise from the heart of historical London, gliding under the famous bridges. Then you'll see some of the more modern sights, such as Canary Wharf, the O2 Arena and cruise through the Thames Barrier, all spectacular when illuminated. On your return journey, you'll have the best view of London by night - seeing the colourful, pretty lights on the famous monuments such as Tower Bridge, St Paul's Cathedral, the Millennium Footbridge, the OXO Tower, Festival Hall, the South Bank's fairy lights, County Hall, the Houses of Parliament and the London Eye.
