The London Showboat Dinner Cruise on the Thames River

London, United Kingdom

Enjoy a evening of food, wine and entertainment as you cruise down the River Thames. Glide past some of London's most spectacular landmarks including the Houses of Parliament, St. Paul's Cathedral and Tower Bridge, as you cruise from the center of London to the Thames River barrier and back.

Begin your cruise in the heart of historic London, as you are welcomed aboard the London Showboat with a glass of sparkling wine in the lounge saloon. Following this, you will enjoy a four-course meal, with a choice of a half bottle of red or white wine included. During your cruise you will be entertained by a live singer, followed by more live entertainment, and plenty of time for dancing!

Starting in Westminster, you will see the historic buildings of St Paul's Cathedral and the Houses of Parliament; pass under the iconic Millennium Bridge and Tower Bridge, and see the more recent iconic constructions of Canary Wharf, the O2 Arena, the Thames Barrier, and the London Eye.

USD $118.50

We really enjoyed the lovely scenery, the meal was excellent (with plenty of wine!) and the entertainment was great. We really enjoyed the whole experience!

Very enjoyable night out on the Thames, meal was small but very tasty. Would have prefered disco music rather than a singer.

Review by: Marcus B	March 2012
The food was basic but good, the show was ok but not great. I would take this trip again as it's a nice way to see a different side of London but don't go expecting the food or show to be the highlight of this trip.

Me ha gustado, más al principio que está la zona monumental que la segunda que es más industrial y menos vistosa. El servicio y la animación muy bien. La cena aceptable. Recomendable para hacer algo distinto y para invitar a alguién perfecto. Recomendable que os coloquen cerca de la ventana.

Didnt get the food we ordered but very enjoyable cruise

Review by: H	November 2011
Really great trip if not a little overpriced. The food was excellent but supplemented with cheap wine but that was to be expected. The male singer was not that good but he was entertaining to say the least and my wife and I were able to get up and dance. Don't know what Simon Cowell would have made of him. Thank you though for an evening with a difference.

The price is decent but the dinner was only so-so and the wine was not great. Its nice but not a must thing to do in London.

Review by: Jacquelyn S	October 2011
Would recommend this. Fantastic food, scenery and singing. Well worth the effort and money.

Review by: Michelle B	October 2011
A very nice meal and great entertainment. A great way to see London sites by night light.

Review by: Dianna G	October 2011
Poorly organised boarding. However staff on board and atmosphere great.

Review by: Walter B	September 2011
Fantastic time. Food and service were both excellent. Nightime views on London from the river were worth the trip! The only negative was the too-loud music - but then it was a showboat dinner cruise.

Review by: LC R	September 2011
Due to the price of the cruise 250 pounds/ 400 dollars we had a piece of chicken that was over cooked. I was disappionted. I did the same type of cruise in Budapest and it was well worth the money.

Hi, The the booking and confirmation procedure was simple enough, but where the arrangement fell down was, according to the criuse operator, your responsibility to offer me, the customer a choice of menu, or at least suggest where we could obtain one.As it happened we finished up with a choice of one item which was no choice at all._br/_ Yours sincerely , _br/_ E Seymour

Good if not fantastic food. Friendly staff and nice music. Started a bit late but the views of London at night were excellent. Recommended trip for a special occasion.

Review by: John	September 2011
A small party of friends were celebrating my wife’s 70th birthday. It was a fabulous evening. The food was excellent. (No complaints from anyone in our party). London by night was stunning. And to round the evening off a nice little cabaret. Well done. A special evening.

Review by: Glyn T	September 2011
Bought as a birthday present for my wife and thoroughly enjoyed by us both. Excellent food, spacious surrounding, enjoyable singing entertainment and the views of London at night were beautiful. By far the high spot of our visit to London and would recommend it to everyone,

I booked this dinner cruise for a group of eight ladies. On boarding we were given a glass of bubbly and then shown to our table, the meal was excellent none of us could fault anything that we ate. The singer Tanya was very good and we enjoyed the disco, we all had a fantastic time and could of stayed on the boat a bit longer. It was supposed to be a three and half hour cruise but more like two and three quarters. Would definitely recommend it.

We were lucky to have fine weather for this cruise the meal was excellent and the views at night for photos was tremendous. Staff very helpful and friendly

Review by: Amy G	August 2011
Excellent food and service. I would have enjoyed a little narration of the sights along the way...the singer was good, but I was disappointed that there weren't more songs from current west end productions. All in all, a good value for an evening's dinner and entertainment, and of course the magic of the Thames.

Review by: Nguyen M	August 2011
Perfect evening. Friendly staffs. I will definately do it again

Review by: Roger M	July 2011
This was a gentle very pleasant evening, the staff were excellent and approachable throughout. The meal was good but lacked choice although the timings for serving the courses was spot on. All in all this was a good trip

Review by: ROBERT B	July 2011
Cruise comfortable, food very good, entertainment started well but with long gaps. Information on sights to look out for during journey would have been useful.

Review by: Heidi R	July 2011
Mum and I had a fun evening thank you! Great food and great entertainment whilst watching London landmarks from a different vantage point! We would definitely do the London Showboat dinner cruise again

Review by: mrs m s	July 2011
Most enjoyable, well organized and food was very good.

Review by: Stephen A	June 2011
Its was an awful rainy day. Your boat was half an hour late. And your offices were shut and we could not phone you. and you sent noone to Westminster pier to give all the customers notice that the boat was delayed - Would you recommend this to anyone - Not me

Very enjoyable evening

Review by: UMESH A	June 2011
not very great. in fact below expectation. we did this trip after reading that there will be a live dance instead there was one person who was trying to sing some kind of songs but loong story cut short it was a waste of time and money.

Review by: Dilan S	May 2011
It was very good.. Food was nice. Music was nice. The tour was a bit too long but if played today's music, the young people could join to the dance floor too. All in all 5 *

Review by: Robert K	May 2011
Great night, very enjoyable._br/_ HOWEVER, good thing I checked with the company the day before as VIATOR had NOT advised them of a special dietary requirement and almost ruined the trip. It would have ended up poisoning one og our group (coealliac). Great trip well worth while. 0 stars for Viator on this occasion

Review by: Fay F	May 2011
This was the best night and I woud advise any one to make this a must do when organizing your itinery in London. The views, staff, entertainment, food and wine were all out standing. Great value for money. Well done all.

Review by: John D	May 2011

Enjoyable.Would have been better if there was one more choice of main dish.

Review by: Beverley M	April 2011
Great scenery. Great entertainment. Food ok.

Review by: G.V.G.	March 2011
Really good food except the lamb, very gamey tasting. The staff was excellent. The boat was nice, but the heater took too long to work and was still pretty cold throughout the night. Entertainment was awesome.

Review by: Patricia Y, United Kingdom	July 2010
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the cruise. Food Wine Staff Trip - all very very good.

Review by: carol b, United States of America	June 2010
Great fun, a lot of laughing and dancing! Thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment. The food could have been a little better, but for the price it was great value. Would definitely recommend it to all.
