Imagine spending an evening gliding down the River Thames in London, enjoying the lights of London's cityscape on the water, sipping wine and enjoying a luxury dinner. The Thames has been used as a means of transportation for centuries, and many Londoners believe that the river is one of England's greatest assets. After a day of exploring the city on foot or in an open top bus, relaxing aboard a river boat for a dinner cruise is a wonderful way to end an exciting day in London.
A dinner cruise on the River Thames with Bateaux London features classic British cuisine, live entertainment and views of London at night. Jazz music is performed during dinner, and popular music is provided for after-dinner dancing. Bateaux London offers three levels of dinner cruises. The Classic Dinner Cruise offers a welcome drink, a four-course a la carte menu, coffee and tea, and live entertainment.

The Elite Dinner Cruise features exclusive seating at the front of the boat, glass of champagne, five-course a la carte menu, mineral water, wine and coffee and tea. Dancing and live entertainment are included. All tours are 2 hours and 45 minutes long. Bateaux London also offers dining options for private parties.
