River Thames Dinner Showboat
2 days - by Rail

If you’re going to take a trip, why not make a real meal of it? Have a glass of fizz as you climb aboard, then the excellent four course dinner starts as we slip our moorings. We cruise downriver past Canary Wharf and Greenwich, turning at the Thames Barrier in time for dessert and coffee. As we head for home and your singer starts the second set, the water sprites can hit the dance floor while the old sea dogs can enjoy an after dinner drink from the bar.
