We know, we know: it's still September, and we're already busting out the 'c' word. But if you want your London Christmas to be properly magical, you best start getting organised now — before the most fabulous of festive events get booked up.
Take these Christmas party cruises, for example. With a three-course festive feast, glittering views of the capital's most iconic landmarks and more Santa hats than you can shake a stick at, it's guaranteed to get you into the holiday spirit.
At the Thames Christmas Party lunch, you and your fellow revellers get to enjoy three gloriously festive hours aboard the boat, during which time you'll tuck into a traditional roast with all the trimmings (veggie options available). All the while, a vocalist serenades diners with Christmas classics and, in case you need a bit of Dutch courage to get you dancing, there's a licensed bar. Guests even get a welcome glass of sparkling wine.
Want to party into the night? Plump for the Thames Christmas Party Dinner instead. You get everything included with the lunch, plus an extra hour on the boat and a half bottle of wine all to yourself with your dinner. There's a DJ in lieu of the vocalist, spinning Yuletide classics as darkness descends over the Thames and London's landmarks light up in all their Christmassy glory.
Guests at both events are seated in tables of ten, positioned close to one another for a properly cosy festive feel. You can either book individually or reserve a whole table. If you've got a really big group to accommodate — we're talking 80+ people — you can even book an entire boat for yourself. So if you're organising the office party, why not make it one your coworkers will never forget?
Whether it's a romantic dinner for two, a big family gathering, or the work do, these cruises offer the hearty dose of holiday cheer you've been looking for. So, what are you waiting for? Book your tickets now. Then dig out the tinsel and your most garish jumper and get ready for an absolute cracker of a Christmas party.
