Christmas Parties

Christmas Parties in Chester

We’re lighting up the river in December with our famous Christmas parties! Our Christmas Party Nights Afloat are perfect for your office party, a festive catch up with friends, or just a night out with a nautical twist. Fancy dress and Christmas jumpers are very welcome.

 

Sail into Christmas!

Your ticket includes:

A glass of wine on boarding
A hot festive supper of turkey baps (vegetarian option available when pre-booked)
A disco with a professional DJ – playing a mix of cheesy Christmas classics and all the best floor fillers
A three-hour cruise sailing from 7pm to 10PM*
*In the event that bad weather prevents us from sailing, the event will still take place on a stationary boat.

There is a fully-stocked cash bar onboard serving beers, ciders, wines, spirits and soft drinks.

The weather outside may be frightful, but the boat is fully enclosed and heated!

Important Info

Please note that tickets are non-refundable and non-transferrable once booked, including if you are unable to make it to us on the day for any reason (eg. weather, travel arrangements, or illness).

In the event that river or weather conditions prevent us from sailing, we’ll still have a great night on a moored boat without sailing. As the cost of operating remains the same, no refund will be offered in this situation. This happens rarely but the chances are much higher in the winter compared to our summertime events – please consider before booking whether you would be happy with this arrangement.

While we try to include a couple of cigarette breaks in a designated point onboard for smokers, we are unable to allow continuous smoking throughout the evening. Please consider when booking whether everyone in your party will be happy with this arrangement.

We love to get in the festive spirit but our normal terms & conditions of carriage do still apply at Christmas. In the interest of Elf & Safety, if the behaviour of any passengers earns them a place on the Naughty list we may have to refuse boarding or ask them to disembark.
