Music plays an important role in setting the atmosphere, and you have complete flexibility over your soundtrack. Create your own playlist, book a professional DJ, or opt for relaxed background music as you cruise. Our onboard sound system delivers high-quality audio throughout the vessel, allowing guests to dance, mingle or simply enjoy the views as they drift past.

Food and drink are central to our summer party experience. Choose from our extensive menus, which range from informal buffets and elegant canapés to seated dining and summer barbecue-style feasts. We are happy to accommodate dietary requirements and special requests, ensuring every guest feels well catered for. A selection of drinks packages is available, or you can design a bespoke bar arrangement to suit your event.

For those looking to elevate the occasion further, a range of optional entertainment enhancements can be added. Popular choices include casino tables for a touch of glamour, live music performances, close-up magicians or a comedian to keep guests entertained throughout the cruise.

With fresh air, stunning riverside views and a laid-back atmosphere, a Thames river cruise in Reading is the ideal setting for a summer celebration. Step away from traditional venues and enjoy a party that flows at its own pace, scenic, sociable and completely tailored to you.
