Best River Cruises For New Year's Eve In London

 

There is no better atmosphere around New Year’s eve than that of London. There is just something magical about ringing in the new year in London. The whole city is buzzing before the sun even goes down.

Now, I have talked about some of the amazing places to watch the New Year’s Eve fireworks in London in addition to the best places to stay view views of the London Eye where the fireworks are displayed, if you want a more personal. Below I am going to be sharing the few of the best London cruises during New Year’s eve celebrations.

 

These cruises have live music, food, and overall party and celebratory mood. They take you out exploring the beautiful London skyline via the Thames River. Cruising past London landmarks and attractions like Big Ben, St Pauls Cathedral, Tower of London, Tower Bridge, The Shard, and many more.

You can get dolled up and choose from a dinner cruise or one with a nightclub and dancing theme to ring in the new year. As the count down gets closer the boats move you closer to the London Eye for the best seats in the house for the London fireworks display as the London Eye fireworks pop off for a magical display.
