Indulge yourself this New Year's Eve with a nighttime dinner cruise featuring a 5-course meal designed by Jamie Oliver, the acclaimed British celebrity chef! Taking place aboard the elegantly decorated 'Silver Sturgeon' sightseeing boat, the New Year's Eve cruise also includes two glasses of Champagne plus unlimited drinks (beer, wine and soft drinks) throughout the evening. Gaze at illuminated London landmarks such as Big Ben and the London Eye, dance along to tunes from the onboard DJ, and then watch the impressive Westminster firework display from the water; it's the perfect experience to ring in 2014!
Board the Silver Sturgeon, your New Year's Eve sightseeing cruise boat, at Victoria Embankment in central London, and then cruise down the River Thames to see the sights of London illuminated at night. As your boat leaves the pier, head inside to the teak-floored top deck and treat yourself to a glass of Champagne and a canapé from the onboard bar. Unlimited beer, wine and soft drinks are available throughout your cruise.
Make your way to your beautifully laid, candlelit table — complete with festive decorations such as glass votives and star-dusted crackers — and then take a seat as your Jamie Oliver-designed meal is served. Reflecting the ethos of the wildly popular British chef, the menu uses only the best of British produce, with all dishes cooked with fresh, local ingredients. See the sample menu in the Itinerary. Feast on five courses of mouth-watering British dishes, enjoying delights such as 30-day dry-aged Cumbrian beef fillet, and watch the sights of London pass you by.
Gaze out of the window to admire the reflection of the Houses of Parliament on the River Thames, and cruise past big-name attractions such as Big Ben, the London Eye and Shakespeare's Globe. After finishing your 5-course meal, enjoy a hot drink and petits fours (small, handmade candies), and then either sit back and relax or head to the dance floor to party the rest of the year away.
As midnight approaches, your onboard hosts will serve a glass of chilled Champagne. Head out on deck for the New Year's Eve countdown in time with the chimes of Big Ben, and then sip on your bubbly to ring in the New Year. London is one of the most exciting cities to be in for New Year's Eve celebrations, but that does mean it gets crowded. This cruise puts you in the best spot to see the legendary London fireworks display with little effort and — most importantly — no crowds!
Watch the sky light up in a blaze of color as the fireworks erupt over Westminster, and then cruise back to the start point at Victoria Embankment where your New Year's Eve cruise finishes.
