Treat yourself to a memorable cruise between now and the New Year.

Summer might be on its way out, but the Thames cruise season runs year-round — thanks to City Cruises. This October, November and December enjoy a thrilling line-up of special Halloween murder mystery dinners, and Christmas and New Year's Eve specials. Jump aboard for an unforgettable season of floating experiences!

London Murder Mystery Dinner Cruise

Fancy yourself as a bit of a Hercule Poirot/Miss Marple? Sign up to a murder mystery cruise.

Things get very 'Agatha Christie' on City Cruises' immersive Halloween specials. Actors lead you through a thrilling mystery caper, in which you get to play the detective, solve clues and (hopefully) win the day. Choose from three sleuthing experiences:

🍸 Death and the Maiden Voyage: Travel back to the glitzy era of the 1920s, where filming for a Hollywood movie goes awry after the cabaret singer is murdered. You must quiz the playboys, socialites and directors to work out the guilty party.
💎 James Bond 007 No Time To Dine: Step into the shoes/tux of the world's suavest secret agent. A valuable diamond goes missing en route to the British Museum, and your mission is to locate it.
🔪 Murder at The Manor: The sleepy village of Wimlington-on-Sea is turned upside down after Lord Oswald Thornley-Cruttock swindles the villagers out of their life savings, and a ghostly presence arrives on the scene — but is everything as it seems?

All these murder mystery dinner cruises come with a sumptuous three-course meal (yes, even No Time To Dine). And, when you're not busy wondering whodunnit, you can admire London's twinkling skyline by night. It's a guaranteed scream.

Looking for a festive party with a difference? You've just found it!

While the bustle of central London at Christmas is all well and good, there is a more serene way to admire the capital at its festive finest. Step aboard an enchantingly decorated vessel and view London's festive illuminations from the water. The range of packages caters for all, whether you're hosting a unique work do, family party, or  having that long-awaited catch-up with pals.

The festive dinners and lunches brim with wine, traditional food and live music. Or, for something truly memorable, go for City Cruises' Christmas Day Sightseeing Cruise, or Christmas Day Lunch Cruise. How many people get to say they spent the big day itself on the Thames?!
