If you are a fan (as we are) of the older-style character boats on the Thames with slim Edwardian lines then the ´Royalty´ could be a good choice. Family run, she has masses of charm. A lower saloon that seats up to 48 for silver service meals and total space for Barbecues or Buffets for up to 150. Built as a steam passenger boat in Kingston upon Thames in 1913 she was one of the ´little ships´ that took off men at Dunkirk. The long open foredeck and the sliding windows throughout the boat offer a light and airy ambience. Good party boat. All ´Salamander´ menus apply. A favourite of our Disco´ Night regulars.

This stunning $10 million conversion into a replica 19th century Mississippi Paddle Steamer sets new standards for sheer size and style on the Thames. Until recently she was Stockholm´s largest cruising Night Club that actually took up to 1000 people. The new owners (50% us!) realistically are setting a limit of 420 for silver service, 520 for buffets. State of the art lighting and sound systems make her ideal for conferences and meetings but she really comes into her own at night when the 440 exterior light bulbs illuminate London.
Two massive decks with large outside areas. Barbecues equally possible. Three bars all selling a full range at non-Swedish prices! Perfect for Dinner Dances where you wish to have up to 300 guests on one deck. And yet there is no requirement to have food and you only pay (see panel above) for the numbers on board. There is complete flexibility for all occasions. Air conditioning for the warmer months, central heating for the winter. Call us for a colour brochure pack. Full range of catering options. Same themes available as ´The Elizabethan´.
