Last Wednesday 28^th March, we were lucky enough to be invited on-board the launch event of the latest Bateaux London boat cruise. The Glass Room is an innovative new addition to the cruise company’s array of contemporary dining experiences along the river Thames, and grants spectators a panoramic view of London's top landmarks and sights.

Upon arrival, we were welcomed by two friendly members of staff. We were then shown around the newly refurbished waiting room, with floor to ceiling surrounding windows, stylish and modern décor, and comfortable looking sofas.

Next, we were led through the entrance to the Glass Room. There we were greeted by smiling waiters and professional bartenders, eager to offer us a selection of the finest cocktails and wines Bateaux has to offer from the spectacular (and fully stocked) on-board bar. My personal favourite was the espresso martini!

The boat is fitted with tasteful looking tables and chairs throughout, as well as sophisticated sofa seats ideal for lounging in style. The boat is intimate yet spacious, with its own grand piano for entertainment whilst you dine!

During our wait for the boat to set sail, we were able to sit back and watch the hustle and bustle of the city commute die down, as the sun set, and the picturesque lights of London came to life. We spent our leisurely sail along the Thames enjoying complimentary drinks and extravagant canapes, which were served to us by the efficient on-board waitstaff.

Surrounded by crystal clear glass windows, The Glass Room allows you to immerse yourself in the city. The greenhouse style design means that even the roof becomes a viewing mechanism for the towering skyscrapers of London! Some exciting highlights included The London Eye, Big Ben, The Tower of London, The Globe Theatre and The Shard – plus many more!

This short launch party was a luxurious affair that we were extremely grateful to be a part of. It gave us an insight into how Bateaux conduct their cruises and treat their guests with warm hospitality and extreme professionalism.

I would recommend this experience to anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion with an air of elegance and that little something extra.

We currently sell Lunch, Dinner and Afternoon Tea cruises that include fine dining meals alongside the stunning views of London. There’s even a Sunday Lunch Jazz Cruise that we can’t wait to try! All these experiences are available in the new Bateaux Glass Room.

Terrific kickstart...

I was gifted this day out in the incredible V&A Museum which turned out to be a truly formative day, thank you. The art teacher was totally on it and despite the other museum goers it was a very personal experience which has brought art back into my life. Thank you again, I would highly recommend this drawing workshop and I'm looking forward to attending the further workshops. read more >

Hilarious!

My sister surprised me with this Horse Riding Lesson in Hampshire and I was beyond thrilled! I haven't ridden a horse since I was 13 so I was excited to see if I could still perform a rising trot. We made our way to the reception and enjoyed a hot lunch as we overlooked one of their horse arenas. Once our instructor came and collected us we went to the mechanical horse room to see the standard of our horse riding ability. Seeing my sister on the cantering mechanical horse was one of the funniest moments which I will always remember! We were in hysterics. When the initial shock was out of our system we focused on our posture, and watched the screen record our balance and seating position in the saddle. The time then came to mount a real horse! Hugo was beautiful and I felt a lot more confident having been on the machine before. A Brilliant experience that I would recommend to anymore wanting to try their hands at horse riding! read more >

Horsey Day Out!

My friend and I had never horse ridden before and were pretty nervous to have a go! But after a warm welcome from the team, a delicious included lunch and some extremely friendly horses, we were put at ease. Our lovely instructor first took us to have a go on a mechanical horse so we could get use to the sensation! A screen told us how we could strengthen our core and sit better in the saddle for a more comfortable ride. Onto the real thing we began trotting gently round the room followed safely by the instructor. Once we had gained confidence, it was up to us to have a go! I can't wait to return for a more advanced lesson! read more >

What a view!

After a few heavy weeks at work, my sister and I decided to break away from all home stresses and fly to Scotland for a few nights! On one of the days we decided to visit Edinburgh Castle and saw this voucher included a 3-course dinner. The views were incredible and looked over the whole city. Every part of the Castle had it's own character which was nicely commentated over the audio set which can be purchased on the day. The 3-course dinner is held at Merchants Restaurant in the old town - Delicious! read more >

Fantastic

My husband and I had a fantastic time on this sailing experience. The skippers Colin and Ellie were really relaxed and friendly, making us feel welcome straight away. We were free to walk around and enjoyed laying on the netting at the front of the boat. Regular teas, coffees and biscuits were offered around as well as the opportunity to help sail the boat. A lovely afternoon. read more >
