Our cruises are ideal for celebrating a special occasion, whether it’s a birthday party, retirement party, wedding anniversary, hen party or a small wedding reception. Each cruise is designed with you in mind and your requirements. We can decorate the boat for your special day and for those planning a surprise birthday, we can assist you in the planning of the surprise. Our cruises are also very popular as a corporate event, ideal for entertaining visiting business colleagues, or why not book a cruise to enjoy a special event on the River Thames such as the Henley Royal Regatta week or the Rewind Festival at Henley?
For just a taste of what to look forward to, at the start of the cruise, all guests are greeted with a welcome glass of champagne. You’ll never go hungry or thirsty onboard, as morning coffee precedes a delicious buffet (for parties up to 12 people) or for smaller parties (max 4) a sit down meal can be served, followed by an English cream tea in the afternoon, accompanied by scones filled with jam and fresh cream. Of course, a fully licensed bar is also available, serving quality wine and beer to accompany your meal.

As a treat to yourself, you could also book an evening cruise (which runs from 6:30pm to 8:30pm), ideal for social events or after-work parties, where the boat is exclusively yours. Or, if you’re feeling in the mood to be a social butterfly, you could expand your social network in a relaxed, safe and informal environment on one of the cruise’s social boating events. Whether you wish to book an evening cruise for your after-work party, corporate hospitality or an evening dinner party, myrivercruising promises an experience you are not likely to forget!

Wedding receptions (max 12 guests including bride & groom)
Are you getting married and looking for a venue for a reception for a small number of guests (up to 10)?  Or maybe you are looking for a romantic cruise just for the bride & groom to enjoy after their wedding ceremony and reception -  a couple of precious hours to relax in each other’s company before the evening reception begins or before the honeymoon?                                                             
Our boat Ginetta makes an unusual and intimate venue for your wedding reception. Your party are the only passengers on board. Enjoy the stunning scenery along the Thames whilst sipping champagne. Our cruises are tailored to suit your special day with a choice of special wedding menus, all at extremely affordable prices. We can decorate the boat appropriately for your day. Be prepared though for well wishers to wave and call out from the river bank as we cruise – you will feel like film stars!
