Get your cameras ready as you cruise past London’s iconic landmarks like Big Ben, London Eye, Westminster Abbey, and Tower Bridge.

Indulge in delicious holiday delights

Tuck into a festive feast that’ll sleigh your taste buds with a delicious 3-course Christmas lunch! Start with a choice of appetizers: oak-smoked salmon for those craving seafood, or a roasted winter salad of poached pear for our vegan guests. Vegetarians will love the brochette of halloumi. For the main event, dig into the roasted maple-bourbon-brined turkey, served with all the trimmings, or enjoy the earthy richness of roasted Hen of the Woods mushrooms. No holiday meal is complete without dessert, and you'll be treated to an indulgent chocolate opera cake that will leave everyone in the Christmas spirit. Sip unlimited tea and coffee as you relax, sing along to holiday classics, and wrap up this merry cruise with the perfect gift of holiday cheer with your loved ones.
