Santa Claus is Coming to Town – and He’s Riding with Thames Rockets!

Published by Holly Bishop 24 days ago

Yes, That’s right, it’s official! Get ready London as Santa Claus is making a special stop in town, and he’s got a little help from the team here at Thames Rockets. Thanks to the hardworking elves at the North Pole, we’ve received Santa’s schedule, and it’s packed with exciting news – he’ll be visiting us every Saturday and Sunday throughout December!

But this year, Santa’s swapping his sleigh for a Thames Rockets speedboat, giving Rudolph and the gang a well-earned break. Join us on the Jingle Bell Blast ride and get ready for a holiday adventure like no other. You'll have the chance to meet Santa in person, enjoy festive treats, receive a special gift from the big man himself  and take plenty of holiday photos to make this season truly unforgettable.

But that's not all…As the clock strikes and it’s time to set sail, and as we  bid Santa a festive farewell that’s when the real fun begins. You’ll cruise down the Thames, bopping (and singing) along to Christmas carols and soaking up the festive atmosphere. Along the way, we’ll show you some of London’s Landmarks and even spot some of the best Christmas decorations, while one of Santa’s Thames Rockets helpers shares fun facts about the city (and maybe even share a few cracker jokes!).

But that’s not all! Hold on tight for the grand finale, as we race into a high-speed Christmas medley, zooming past Canary Wharf and bringing the magic of Santa’s sleigh to life. Feel the rush as we glide, zoom and sour through the docklands, leaving a trail of festive cheer in our wake!

This is truly a one-of-a-kind experience to meet Santa in London. So don’t miss out – book your spot today and make this holiday season one to remember!

 As New Year's Eve quickly approaches, the excitement for ringing in the new year is building! Have you made plans yet? If not, we have the perfect way for you to celebrate in style. Join us aboard our exclusive 12-seater open-top Thames cruise and get ready for an unforgettable evening!

This year, you can enjoy the iconic London Eye fireworks from the best seat in the house. But that’s just the beginning. The night kicks off with a scenic glide along the Thames as the city lights twinkle around you. Sip on bubbly, indulge in festive treats, and enjoy the sounds of festive tunes while our Thames Rocket Guide keeps you entertained.

As midnight approaches, we’ll make sure you’re in the perfect spot to witness the famous Big Ben countdown and the stunning fireworks display. With limited seats available, this is your chance to secure a front-row view of one of the most exciting events of the year.
