Celebrate New Year’s Eve in one of the world’s most iconic cities—London! Experience the festive atmosphere and take in the breathtaking views of the city’s skyline as you prepare to welcome 2026 with a bang. From the deck of the historic HMS Wellington, you’ll have a front-row seat to London’s famous fireworks display, lighting up the sky as the clock strikes midnight.
Moored just a short walk from Temple Station, the HMS Wellington has been an iconic fixture on the River Thames since 1948. This stately, non-moving vessel offers stunning views of the Thames, and its upper deck provides the perfect spot for taking in the sights. Upon boarding, you’ll be greeted with a complimentary glass of fizz, setting the tone for a night of celebration.
Get ready to dance the night away with a live DJ and entertainment keeping the party going. Throughout the evening, enjoy a selection of delicious canapés and sandwiches, with options that cater to all dietary needs. If you're in the mood for more drinks, a fully stocked bar will be available for purchases.
As midnight draws near, grab another glass of fizz and make your way to the upper deck for an unforgettable view of London’s world-famous fireworks display at the London Eye. It’s a truly spectacular way to ring in 2026 and make your New Year’s Eve in London one to remember.
Please note: The vessel will remain stationary throughout the event, offering a stable and comfortable experience with stunning views of the Thames and fireworks.
