New Year’s Eve sailing offers front row seats for London’s fireworks

Uber Boat by Thames Clippers is hosting exclusive New Year’s Eve late night sailings to welcome 2025 in style. The luxurious night-time journeys will conclude with incredible river views of London’s world-famous firework display in central London. These special sailings are departing from piers across London, with an all-inclusive package now available for £180 per person. 

New Year’s Eve revellers will be welcomed aboard with a glass of wine, before setting sail with unparalleled views of London by night. Iconic sights like Greenwich Palace, Somerset House and Battersea Power Station will light up the journey which culminates at the London Eye for the Mayor of London’s official firework show.

As the rest of the nation tunes in to the display from home, those onboard will enjoy once-in-a-lifetime views from the river. The boats’ large windows and outdoor deck offer plenty of spots from which to take photos or to simply take in the show. Glasses of champagne will be handed out in time for Big Ben’s 12 chimes as midnight strikes to welcome in 2025.

During the river trip, live music will be provided by some of the capital’s top acts, with jazz, soul, and indie musicians all sailing with the Uber Boat by Thames Clippers this New Year’s Eve. Delicious nibbles will be on offer, with snacks to satisfy all cravings and diets.
