Both my husband and myself thoroughly enjoyed our evening on board the Elizabethan, and can honestly say that your staff are an absolute credit to you both; especially Carole and Dave who worked tirelessly to ensure that everyone was having a good time and enjoyed themselves...

A wonderful evening onboard a wonderful vessel, and one that I will never forget and hope to do again next year. Please pass on my gratitude to your staff.

My partner and I booked for the New Year's Eve cruise on the Elizabethan and we can hands down say that this was one of the best nights of our lives...

My partner and I booked for the New Year's Eve cruise on the Elizabethan and we can hands down say that this was one of the best nights of our lives. On entry we had prosecco and walked into a trio singing act which was lovely. The décor of the boat was beautiful which made it even nicer. The tables for the three course meal were set out in groups of 6-8, which we didn't mind as it was nice to talk to other people. The boat cruised for five-and-a-half hours down to Greenwich which was lovely. The boat then arrived at the London Eye at 11pm for the fireworks and returned to the pier afterwards at 1:15am with a live DJ which got the guests up dancing. The experience was one in a life time and definitely one we will remember. We would recommend anyone to spend that bit more money and attend this evening as it simply was classy and amazing.

An excellent New Year's Eve cruise on the Elizabethan...

An excellent New Year's Eve cruise on the Elizabethan. Super food, very good service, great disco and lovely views as we cruised from the Thames Barrier to the London Eye and a great view of the fireworks. Staff were universally excellent and it was a really enjoyable night.

Flying in from Ireland to enjoy a New Year's Eve celebration on the River Thames was fabulous from start to finish...

Flying in from Ireland to enjoy a New Year's Eve celebration on the River Thames was fabulous from start to finish. The Elizabethan looked magnificently inviting with Tower Bridge the backdrop. A warm crew welcome, followed by superb hospitality on board celebrating with other passengers and watching a grand firework finale made for, quite simply, a fantastic night!

Our party of eight spent a thoroughly enjoyable evening aboard the Elizabethan on New Year's Eve. The company's staff could not have been more helpful or professional both before the event in the planning and on the evening itself. The dinner was of excellent quality, lovely atmosphere and perfectly positioned boat for the fireworks at midnight to see the New Year in. A first class service and a quality offer; we will be back for a repeat. Well done to all.
