About this tour
Settle in for an evening on the Thames, where London’s landmarks provide the backdrop to dinner and live entertainment. This London River Thames Dinner Cruise pairs a three-course meal with a pre-cruise glass of sparkling wine or a soft drink as the city glides by.
During the three-hour cruise, look out for the Houses of Parliament, St Paul’s Cathedral, and Tower Bridge through the panoramic windows. A live performer and dancing add to the atmosphere, making this a memorable way to spend an evening in the capital. Seats are guaranteed and assigned before the cruise, while tables are fixed and may be close together. For an extra touch, choose the VIP upgrade for additional canapés, welcome champagne, and upgraded seating.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.13 from 2,044 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in London
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 2.9.
