The London Showboat

The London Showboat provides a unique dinner and cabaret cruise on the River Thames. On the cruise you will enjoy a four-course dinner, live music and dancing. Included in the price is a welcome drink, as well as half a bottle of wine with your meal.

Your favourite songs from the world's greatest musicals make the perfect accompaniment to the sights of London. Along with a relaxing river cruise, a four-course dinner and dancing you have the perfect combination for an unforgettable evening. We have a wealth of other options at different times of the day, available to anyone wanting to plan a trip to remember. If the mood takes you, why not purchase one of our River Red Rover tickets, enabling you catch one of our regular cruises up and down the river and hop on and off at Westminster Pier, Tower Pier and Greenwich as many times as you like. Or, if you want to remain on the Thames and take in the sights from the comfort of one of our boats, then try taking the sightseeing cruise, with a route guaranteed to sate your appetite for the sights of London. Starting from Westminster, home of Parliament, and making your way under Tower Bridge towards Greenwich, on the cruise you will witness the magnificent buildings and vistas which make London one of the most visited and spectacular cities in the world.

Other Thames Trips

If you are especially of a mood to relax and fully appreciate the ambience as you wander down the Thames, then you might be inclined to try one of our other options, for instance our guided tours, or our lunch and tea trips - a very civilised way to take in the splendours of the capital. But if the idea of taking in the sights at night appeals, then taking one of our dinner cruises really is the answer, with beautiful views of the capital at night. And if the pretty lights aren't enough to distract you then remember the London Showboat, which offers a unique cabaret dinner cruise along with a four course meal as well as live music and dancing, so you may wine and dine to the refrain of hits from shows such as 'Me and My Girl', 'Cats', and 'Les Misérables' as you drift down the Thames alongside gazing at London's illuminated monuments.
