It was a lovely experience to cruise down the Thames, enjoying Christmas lunch and a bottle of wine. The entertainment was very good and the staff was attentative. The main course was a tad cold. It should have been served hotter. Although I understand that the main course is collected from a tender during the cruise. I thought that it was all going to be prepared/cooked on board. But all in all, it was a good dinner/ sightseeing cruise when visiting London.
Hi, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed cruising along the Thames, the Christmas lunch, the wine, and the entertainment. It’s also wonderful to know that our staff made a positive impression on your visit. We do, however, sincerely apologise that your main course was not as hot as it should have been. While you are correct that some elements are brought on board during the cruise, the meal should still reach you at the proper temperature. We’ve shared your feedback with our catering and operations teams so we can improve this aspect of service. We truly appreciate your understanding and your balanced feedback. It’s great to hear that, overall, you had a good dinner and sightseeing experience during your visit to London. We hope we’ll have the pleasure of welcoming you back on board again for an even better cruise. Kind regards. City Cruises.
Booked this Xmas lunch cruise for myself and my sisters for 29.11.25 back in Sept. Was advised this week that it was cancelled due to low numbers. We are so disappointed as only in London for the afternoon/early evening. Sad to see however that many platforms are still taking bookings for the event despite me discussing with them and obtaining a refund.
Thank you for sharing your experience, and we’re truly sorry for the disappointment this situation has caused. We understand how much you were looking forward to the Christmas lunch cruise, especially given that your time in London was limited. Cancelling events is never an easy decision, and we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience. We also appreciate you bringing to our attention that other platforms are still taking bookings despite the cancellation. This is something we will investigate to ensure it doesn’t happen again, and we’ll work to prevent any confusion in the future. We’d love to have the opportunity to welcome you and your sisters back at another time, and we hope we can provide a more seamless experience in the future. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at customercomments@citycruises.com Kind regards. City Cruises.
This was a fun experience. It's one of those things that is best done as a group but my husband and I still had a really good time and would totally do it again. We paid £75 each. You receive a 3 course meal and a drink on arrival which is either orange juice or prosecco. All other drinks must be paid for separately. Food is not served until you reach your destination in Greenwich so grab a bottle for the way up and enjoy the wonderful singer belting out the best Christmas tunes! There was lots of dancing by all on the way back down the Thames and the staff get everyone up to do the conga... Total vibe! The meal is middling tbh... The quality just wasn't there, it was like upgraded school canteen food which was addressed by several passengers and the staff encouraged us to leave an honest review in the hope the food company could be improved. Great experience but if the food quality remains as it is, the price needs to be dropped because there's lots of other amazing experiences to be had in London for the same price or cheaper. Also; please check the menu and contact the company ahead of time if you need to change your dietary option.
Hello 663berniceh, Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us! We're really glad to hear you and your husband had a fun time onboard — even without a full group, it sounds like you still got into the festive spirit! We appreciate your honest feedback about the meal. We’re always working to improve and have passed your comments along to the catering team — guest input plays a big part in helping us raise the bar. Hopefully we’ll see you back again for another cruise soon — next time, maybe with a few more friends in tow to share the vibe! Kind regards City Cruises
