The Romance of it!

The gala dinner cruise on board the Diamond on New Year's Eve was lovely. First, champagne as we boarded. Then the pleasant surprise that every couple had a table for four to themselves - the cruise got top marks for that as the tables for two by the windows were limited. There was no pushing and shoving, no overcrowding, you could have been in a high-end restaurant. The staff were so professional, always smiling and polite. The band and the singer were fabulous; they really made the evening extra special with their perfect renderings of 70s and 80s hits. Every fellow customer I spoke to seemed delighted. Food was good - 6 courses including gourmet canapés and a delicious French onion soup - and then up onto the deck at midnight. Looking at all the boats parked around us, stopping just in front of Big Ben illuminated in the colours of the Union Jack as it chimed in the new year and then seeing the fireworks burst out of the London Eye to hooting from the boats and cheers from the crowds on the banks of the Thames was simply unforgettable. Not cheap but worth every penny. Definitely one to save up for.

Hello SusanBrussels, Thank you so much for your glowing review of our New Year’s Eve gala dinner cruise aboard the Diamond! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a wonderful experience and that every aspect of the evening—from the Champagne welcome to the midnight fireworks—exceeded your expectations. We’re especially glad you appreciated the thoughtful table arrangements, creating a relaxed and high-end atmosphere. It’s wonderful to know that our professional and smiling staff, along with the fabulous band and singer, added that extra sparkle to your evening with their 70s and 80s hits. It’s fantastic that the six-course meal, including the gourmet canapés and French onion soup, hit the mark, and we’re so happy the midnight spectacle was as unforgettable for you as it was for us! Moments like these truly make the celebration special. Your kind words mean the world to us, and we’re so grateful you found the experience worth every penny. We hope to welcome you back aboard soon for another memorable journey! City Cruises

not worth the money

The best thing about this experience was the view but I thought with the amount of money we paid that we’d be close to the London eye and we were quite far, the bride was blocking the view, if you can get tickets to watch it on land, you should. The food was not good and the inside of the boat was much too warm for me.

Memorable New Year's Evening

Excellent cruise on the Thames and a fantastic view of the New Years Eve fireworks. Great service, only negative is they just needed more staff at the bar, long queues formed.

New Year's Eve

Dinner cruise of 5 hours nice enough, good meal but no more, green beans not cooked at all. And finally an animator a little too old who therefore does not have the expected Mood. Beautiful view on the New Year’s Eve fireworks in the heart of London. Top of the line.
