Our beautiful replica of an 1890s stern-wheeled Mississippi paddle steamer is one of the most desirable boats for hire on the River Thames.

Whether you're seeking a venue for press receptions, film shoots, product launches, seminars, dinner dances, sightseeing, luncheons, wedding receptions, or simply to celebrate, the Elizabethan is in a class of her own.

Her capacious upper deck provides a versatile space for guests to mingle, host presentations, dine – or dance below the stars, thanks to her large retractable roof. Wooden paneling and sumptuous carpets in her saloon are matched with spectacular views through vast windows that were sympathetically installed to retain her beautiful lines as part of a half-million pound refit in 2013.

On board, nine discreetly positioned flat screen television screens are capable of playing anything to conference presentations to family photo albums for a birthday party as you enjoy your event in stunning surroundings.

Ideal guest numbers for an event aboard Elizabethan: 80-140.
Own catering is only possible on charters held between Monday-Wednesday.

The epitome of British style, the Edwardian is outfitted to our exacting standards with simply no expense spared in her interior design and furnishings.

She serves as a luxurious venue for smaller events, entertaining groups of any size from eight to 90 people. When the sun is out, her open upper deck allows guests to enjoy breathtaking views, glass in hand, before sitting down to lunch or dinner.

Built in 1985 by Sir Richard Branson, her most recent extensive refurbishment in April 2015 saw the addition of a new skylight, copper-topped bar, TV screens, Bose sound system and plush new carpets, further enhancing the guest experience.

Her versatility allows her to travel to a significant number of piers on the tidal Thames, providing an increased range of locations for guests to embark and disembark, as well as allowing a wide choice of route for your charter.

The service on board is impeccable, with fully trained uniformed staff making everyone feel at home from the moment they step aboard. Enjoy creative cuisine from our experienced event caterers and set the atmosphere with flowers, decorations and entertainment to really bring your event to life.

Featured in the Queen's Diamond Jubilee River Pageant, the Edwardian has played a starring role in many film and television appearances, as well as PR events - making it a genuinely unique London venue.

Edwardian 

The largest luxury party boat for hire on the River Thames in London with two spacious decks, the perfect venue for events for up to 620 people!

Wow guests with the enchanting and ever-changing backdrop of London’s famous sights whilst cruising aboard this large replica of a 19th Century paddle steamer. 

Sail east past the Tower of London and your guests will marvel as Tower Bridge is raised for the Dixie Queen to pass, momentarily bringing London’s busy traffic to a halt. Cruise on past Canary Wharf and historic Greenwich, around the O2 peninsula and through the Thames Barrier.

A large versatile event venue, the Dixie Queen can accommodate up to 620 people over her two decks. On board her proportions set the atmosphere of a ship rather than a large riverboat. The flexible layout allows for a wide variety of events to be accommodated. 

To reflect this versatility her charter rates adapt around the number of guests on board, making her affordable for smaller groups that require the space she offers. She really is a unique venue for hire in London. 

The Dixie Queen is centrally heated throughout; warm and welcoming in the winter, with an air-cooling system maintaining a pleasant temperature throughout the warmer summer months. 

A full brigade of chefs can serve a range of creative cuisine to meet your requirements and budget. Set the atmosphere on board with flowers, decorations and entertainment to really bring your event alive.
