About Thames Luxury Charters

Book your Christmas party this year with Thames Luxury Charters and experience dining on the water at the most magical time of year. Boasting three magnificent vessels – the Elizabethan, the Dixie Queen and the Edwardian – parties of all sizes are catered for, while a variety of food and drink menus, plus festive entertainment, is available to take your event to the next level.  

Its largest vessel is the Dixie Queen – a replica Mississippi Paddle Steamer and London’s largest conference and events boat – with capacity for up to 620 guests. For a reference as to its scale, it’s also the only Thames-based charter boast that requires Tower Bridge to open, providing spectacular photo opportunities and a talking point at your event.  

The Elizabethan is more traditional in style and, following a major refurbishment in 2020, boasts beautiful luxury interiors. Wooden panelling and sumptuous carpets make it one of the most desirable boats on the Thames, and can hold up to 235 guests for a party that truly sparkles. The Edwardian is its smallest vessels, for up to 90 guests, with an open upper deck to enjoy the views, plus a copper-topped bar, plush carpets and a smart dining room inside.  

There are a variety of Christmas menus available, from seasonal cocktails for a drink's reception to canapes, bowls and small plates, a festive buffet or a sit-down dinner. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options are also available.  

To add an extra touch of festive magic, there are plenty of added extras available for hire. Why not book a snowboard simulator to mimic the slopes of the alpine terrains? Or hire a choir to sing Christmas carols and get guests in the Christmas spirit. Whatever you have in mind, Thames Luxury Charters is able to create a bespoke Christmas package to suit you.

Dixie Queen

Dixie Queen

Dining capacity: 432
Standing capacity: 620
As the largest boat currently operating on the Thames, the Dixie Queen's proportions set the atmosphere of a ship rather than a large boat. Her flexible layout allows for a wide variety of events to be accommodated. The Dixie Queen is centrally heated throughout, making her warm and welcoming throughout the winter months. Wow guests with the enchanting and ever-changing backdrop of London's famous sights while cruising aboard this large replica 19th century paddle steamer. When embarking or disembarking at Tower Pier, your guests will marvel as Tower Bridge is raised for the Dixie Queen to pass, momentarily bringing London's busy traffic to a halt. Cruise on past Canary Wharf and historic Greenwich, round The O2 peninsula and through the Thames Barrier.

"10/10 would recommend"NOVEMBER, 2023

We used TLC for our final night of our conference. We hired the Elizabethan, which picked us up at our hotel and dropped us off afterwards. The entire experience was incredible. Before our boat tour, I had excellent communication with the staff. They were very accommodating to our requests, and always quick to respond.During the river cruise, our staff had the best time, dancing the night away and shooting great shots on the deck of the London Eye, Big Ben, and Tower Bridge. We were lucky with no rain, but there was enough covered space for us to have a great time even if there would have been rain. The staff on board were very friendly, and they made excellent drinks for us. We experienced no problems whatsoever. Our staff was able to come on board beforehand to decorate it to our likings, and the staff took down decorations afterwards, which we did not expect and was a great touch so all our staff could leave the boat at the same time.10/10 would recommend for large gatherings.
