Description

Celebrate New Year’s Eve in true London fashion on board the Wellington vessel for the ultimate River Thames boat party. Enjoy an electric atmosphere and amazing views of London’s lit-up skyline, as well as the all-important fireworks to kick off 2025. 

This isn’t just any NYE Thames Cruise, located only a short walk from Temple Station, HMS Wellington has been an iconic feature on the River Thames since 1948. The impressive ship is a stately non-moving vessel, and the ideal spot to see the Thames from the upper deck. The Wellington is well positioned, giving you an excellent view of the New Year's Eve fireworks display. 

Once on board, you will be greeted with a welcome drink and another one when the clock strikes 12. You will enjoy an array of delicious canapes, as well as a fully stocked bar where you can purchase additional drinks throughout the night. The resident DJ will have you up on your feet and dancing with great tunes and live entertainment well into the night - keep an eye out for the golden showgirls, mirrorman and the mirrorball head!

Before midnight, head to the upper deck and take full advantage of the prime position offered. Be awed by the spectacular fireworks display over at the lastminute.com London Eye. Raise your glass of fizz and toast to an unforgettable New Year’s Eve and a wonderful 2025 to come.
