C'mon everybody, rock the boat with City Cruises' Elvis dinner cruise

City Cruises, London's number one sightseeing operator on the Thames, is providing Londoners and tourists alike with the perfect opportunity to celebrate the life of world famous pop icon, Elvis Presley, as they sail past London's most iconic sites on an indulgent dinner cruise.

Departing from North Greenwich Pier, this cruise is the perfect addition to visits to Britain's largest Elvis exhibition, now on at Greenwich's O2. After attending the exhibition, Elvis enthusiasts can enjoy a short stroll down by the riverside to the pier, where they hop on board the dinner cruise and continue to commemorate the memories of this renowned pop icon. 

Whilst on board, passengers can take in an incredible Elvis tribute performance by award-winning Ben Thompson, as he sings his way up and down the Thames. Following a welcoming glass of sparkling wine, there will be a lavish three course meal to be enjoyed whilst watching this exciting rock 'n' roll experience and admiring iconic views of the city by night. 

As the boat heads towards Westminster, there will be a little less conversation and a little more action. Passengers can then put on their blue suede shoes and show off their best Elvis moves. Alternatively, for those who would rather sit back and relax, there will be an abundance of cocktails and champagne to be enjoyed at the bar.

Providing a mixture of exciting entertainment and incredible London skyline views, it is now or never to enjoy this one off experience. Standard tickets cost £49 per person*. This cruise takes place on 11th and 15th June, 9th and 23rd July and 27th August.
