Spend the evening on the Thames – 31 December 2026
On 31 December 2026 the London fireworks rise over the Thames between the London Eye and Westminster, and the closest seats are on the water. Our New Year's Eve cruises board at central London piers for dinner or a party on board, with live music or a DJ, an open view of the fireworks from midstream and a warm seat until well after midnight. Every boat shown here is on sale now, with free cancellation up to 30 days before departure.
Watching the London fireworks from the Thames
December 31, 2026
The Mayor of London's fireworks are ticketed, the riverside allocation is limited and it sells out. A ticket buys a place in the crowd on the bank, in the cold, with the walk home afterwards.
From a boat the view is part of the fare, and so are dinner or the party, the bar and a seat until the river empties. You board in central London and step off when the night is over.
