Schedule
Our New Year’s Eve Cruises run to a very strict timetable and unfortunately we cannot wait for any late arrivals.
It is your responsibility to arrive at the pier in plenty of time for boarding, the streets and public transport will be extremely busy and densely populated. We would advise that you allow extra time for your journey and that you check the Transport For London Website for all travel information, tube, train and road closures.
Please be advised that once the boat departs, it cannot return to the pier to collect passengers, and refunds will not be offered in such circumstances.

Location

Exclusion Zone:
Please note that an exclusion zone will be in place on the River Thames on New Year’s Eve between Hungerford Railway Bridge and Westminster Bridge.
Our vessels will be positioned on either side of these bridges, providing a spectacular view of the fireworks from the side of the London Eye. While this isn’t a direct front-on view, it still promises a memorable experience.
Due to the high volume of river traffic, the exact location of the vessel cannot be guaranteed. The Captain will decide the final position on the night and will make every effort to secure the best possible vantage point for the fireworks display.
The firework display takes place at the discretion of the Mayor of London. Whilst every endeavour to achieve a view of the fireworks will be made the positioning of the boat is entirely at the Captain’s discretion based on tides, river conditions or any other circumstances relating to the evening or advice received from the authorities.
The New Year’s Eve event is organised by a third party and the display itself is outside the control of London Party Boats. In the event of cancellation or postponement of the display, London Party Boats is under no obligation to extend a refund of the ticket purchase price.
