Dixie Queen & Elizabethan NYE Dinner Cruise - £585pp
Thursday 31st December | 18:30pm - 01:00am
Embark | Butler's Wharf Pier, Shad Thames, SE1 2YE
Disembark | Tower Millennium Pier EC3N 4DT
Yes, that's right. 2 boats! Step aboard 2 of London's most desirable boats - replica paddle steamers, The Dixie Queen and the Elizabethan.
Due to the Dixie Queen's height, she only sails as far as London bridge. Meaning she'll play host for your luxury dining experience, and then you'll party the night away and enjoy the fireworks aboard the Elizabethan.
From the moment you embark at Butler’s Wharf Pier between 18:30 and 19:00, you’ll step into a world of luxury and celebration. Begin the evening aboard the Dixie Queen with a Champagne welcome, before witnessing the exclusive Tower Bridge lift at 19:15 – a rare and unforgettable London moment.
Fine Dining on the Thames
From 19:15 to 22:00, cruise the Thames in style while enjoying a refined four-course dinner from award-winning caterers Food by Dish, accompanied by a live acoustic trio and free-flowing wine, beer, and soft drinks throughout.
Transfer to the Elizabethan
After dinner, from 22:00-01:00 you’ll transfer to our sister vessel, the Elizabethan, where the night continues with a party on the open-roof deck featuring DJ sets by En Masse Productions, a midnight Champagne toast, and unrivalled views of the official London fireworks display.
Late-Night Indulgence
Fuel the celebration into the early hours with late-night bites, including fish & chip cones and gourmet sliders.
The night concludes with disembarkation at Butler’s Wharf Pier between 01:00 and 01:15 – but the memories will last well into 2027.
