Thames evening cruise with sparkling wine and canapés

London's skyline from the river, one glass in hand

A relaxed evening pause, not a dinner cruise. The boat moves through central London as daylight turns to an illuminated skyline, and you see the landmarks from a new angle.

One glass of sparkling wine or a soft drink and canapés are included; more drinks are sold on board. There is live music in the saloon and an open deck for photos.

No guided commentary: the appeal is the atmosphere. It fits well before or after dinner near the South Bank or Covent Garden.
