This cruise was perfect in every way! The food was great, the decorations were very nice, the wait staff were so helpful, tho there was a bit of a language barrier but it was still ok. The entertainment was a nice touch and she wasn’t intrusive during the meal. I highly recommend this if you’re in London for Christmas Day!

From the moment you step aboard - not knowing quite what to expect - you are extremely well looked after, treated with friendliness and efficiency by all the staff and royally entertained. The overall atmosphere is welcoming and inclusive and the greatest bonus of all is that you get to meet some great fellow guests. The seating is conducive to making contact with your neighbours although it would be possible, if one was so inclined, to be private. Although not a cheap experience (£125 each) it really was excellent value for money. Well done City Cruises.
