Overview

Enjoy an unforgettable evening of music and food on this 3-hour Thames River jazz cruise with 3-course dinner. Cruise on the Thames River with friends or your special someone, and admire sweeping views over top London attractions such as the National Theatre, the Oxo Tower, Shakespeare's Globe, the Tate Modern, Tower Bridge, and the Tower of London. With live jazz music from the band on board, savor a delicious 3-course dinner of grilled escalope of chicken with dauphinoise potato and ratatouille of vegetables with a White chocolate and rum truffle mousse dessert with raspberry coulis.
Tour includes round-trip travel from Westminster Pier.

Please note, this menu is subject to changes from April 1, 2023.

Hop aboard your sightseeing boat at Westminster Pier in central London at 8pm, and sip a glass of sparkling wine to start your tour in style. Then, cruise out onto the Thames River and enjoy fine views over landmarks including Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament from your vantage point on the water.

Take a seat at your table and watch as famous sites such as City Hall, the London Eye, the National Theatre, the Oxo Tower, Shakespeare's Globe, the Shard, Somerset House, St. Paul's Cathedral, the Tate Modern, Tower Bridge, and the Tower of London drift slowly past outside.

During your 3-hour cruise, savor a delicious 3-course dinner and enjoy the sultry sounds of your on-board jazz band — the ChiJazz quintet. Listen to a range of popular swing and Latin jazz numbers while you enjoy your meal, and perhaps hit the bar for a selection of beers, wines, champagnes, spirits, cocktails, and soft drinks (own expense).

Step into the cool of the evening on-deck to capture the sires on camera. At 11pm, return to your starting point at Westminster Pier to bring your tour to an end.

The meal and jazz band was great but be careful of the timing. We were told to be at the boat 15 min before the sailing time of 8pm , we turned up at 20min to 8 and the boat was almost ready to go and all the seats by the window had been allocated. Boat left at 7.50pm 10min before the time given.

Thank you to the organisers who kindly placed us at a window table. We were 2 minutes from missing the cruise (thanks London traffic!), so it was a lovely surprise to be seated in a premium location. London was beautiful at night and it was great to see it from a different angle. The jazz band was good. One note: they had quite a long break halfway in to have dinner. We would have preferred to have them playing all the way through our meal. Rather than sit down and effectively eat with us. I don't know who planned to have the front middle 2 tables reserved for the musicians instead of dining guests. I did find this odd as some guests were further back in the middle of the fixed seating and may have appreciated the option to have these tables and enjoy an upfront view of the live entertainment and front window view. All in all, it was a very pleasant evening. I would highly recommend going on the open top deck towards the end of the evening and passing under Tower Bridge. What a sight.

We had a lovely time! The dinner was delicious and the music very good. Next time will try to make sure we get a window table. Just an observation, the lentils were delicious, since i love lentils. However, as an only option as side for meat eaters in a country where its not actually that common in restaurants, it's not ideal. I'm saying this because my husband doesn't like lentils and so for him the main ended up being just the duck leg in itself.
