3-hour London Thames Christmas party lunch cruise with a welcome sparkling wine, live festive vocalist, and a hot three-course meal.
“Nice food. Friendly staff. Singer had a great voice. Downsides. There were only a few people on the boat so atmosphere rather flat. No one’s fault but the bench style seating made it impossible to get up without asking 3 other people to slide out so made it difficult to chat with other members of our group throughout the trip. Wine quite expensive.”
