This year 250,000 people will be on the river bank to watch the Oxford & Cambridge Boat Race but you can be on the finnish line with a drink in your hand and watch them row over the line just a few feet away.

You can buy tickets for £25.00pp and be on the Suerita with us, we will have a T.V. onboard to see them battle it out along the course and them watch as the crews pass us just a few feet away on the finnish line.

For just £25.00 you will join the Suerita at Festival Pier near Waterloo stn at 11.30 and then cruise up to Mortlake where we will stay to watch the racing, on the cruise up there will be lunch served from the lower saloon and the bar is open all day.

After the racing is over we will drop off at Kew Pier as we cannot get back to Festival Pier till about 8pm but if you would like to stay onboard and come back with us you will be welcome.

The Oxford &Cambridge boat race is one of the big sporting events of the year and if you want to be in the perfect place to watch this historic event then call Zoe on 020 7839 8008.

Just had some enquiries for new years eve 2009 and its only February so it has made us think about what package we should put together. Last New Years Eve party was top class the DJ was on form and the fireworks were fantastic there must of been a million people lining the riverbank around the Westminster area and they stood out in the cold for about 6 hours just to get a view of the fireworks and hear Big Ben strike midnight, our guests got onboard the Suerita at 7.45/8pm and got settled got a drink and went for a cruise through the city then had a bite to eat danced till 1150pm then went outside to see in the new year and of course we were right under Big Ben with most of the other boats and droped everyone off at Westminster Pier at 1am. This year we will be putting 3 boats out so keep an eye on our website because the tickets sold out in no time last year.

Having your party onboard one of Londons party boats would be the perfect setting for any event and with London as a backdrop your guests will have a night they wont forget. There are are some key eliments to having the perfect night like good music our dj,s carry thousands of songs 60,s through to the latest releases and if you send us a play list we make sure they have them onboard, also good beer at the right price once your onboard you cant go off somewhere else if the beer is to expensive, we have good bottle beer and good draught beer and all our spirits are named brands and most drinks beers, wine, sprits with a mixer cost £3.50. Catering is not always required but if you do order food you want it to be good we have never had a complant about our food and there is always plenty of it so with good food, good beer and good music and the perfect setting you have all the required elements for a great night out.

I keep getting asked by people booking ther party about hidden extras well i can tell you that we dont have any. When you book your party with London River Cruise you will be pleased to know that your boat hire is zero rated that means no V.A.T the price you see on this website includes boat hire, bar staff, and pier tolls anything else you require like DJ, live bands, casino tables or karaoke we will discuss the hire charge with you and you will be invoiced two weeks before your party so you can see all the costs involved. It can seem bit stressful organising a boat party so why not let us do all that for you …..call Zoe on 020 7839 8008 for any questions you may have.

Anyone taking a trip on the Thames this week will notice that the tide in London did not change that much it just seem to rise about 4 meters with not much flow, thats because the Thames flood barrier has been in opperation keeping London safe from the threat of flooding. We have had very high tides this week which is not a problem, but combined with all the rain (a full month’s worth in 24 hours) running down and into the River Thames it could burst it’s banks.

These high tides and heavy rain fall wont effect any day tripping services or private party bookings in fact it will mean that your private charter will be able to go as far up river as you like or you can go down to see the Thames Barrier in opperation.

I have recentley been on the end of some sharp tounged cliants asking why we dident see the Thames Barrier or why are we not eating till 9pm or this is not what i ordered, and so on is because they booked through a third party and not direct with us. We at London River Cruises work very hard at making sure your Birthday, Wedding, Corporate event or Company do runs perfect we can sort out everthing for you including Disco, Live Band, Casino Tables, Catering or any special requirements and when its all put together we then work with you on the event to see it all goes perfect so when you have looked through our website add it to your favorites and make sure you book your event direct with London River Cruises.

Have you seen West Ham Frank sings Rod on the on the West Ham Fulham boat party onboard the Suerita www.youtube.com haha looking forward to the next one.
