Rock the boat with Party Nights Afloat!

Step aboard and set sail with us for a night out with a difference. Choose your theme, choose your date, and sail back in time with us through your favourite eras in music, with the spectacular backdrop of the River Dee.

The key info…

When? Party Nights Afloat cruises sail most weekends from 7.30PM to 10.30PM. In the winter some cruises sail 7.00PM – 10.00PM, please check the time carefully when booking.

What’s included? Your ticket includes a hot buffet supper, a disco with professional DJ, and a glass of house wine on arrival.

Where? Sailing on either the Mark Twain or Lady Diana (we’ll confirm the boat nearer the time) or occasionally The Jackie. All of our cruises sail from The Groves, Souters Lane, Chester, CH1 1SZ, right next to Hickory’s Smokehouse. We return to the same place.

How much? Tickets are £39.50 per person when booking and paying in full online.

Can I pay a deposit? If you’d like to split the cost into a £10pp deposit and a balance to pay later, the total ticket price is £41.50 and this needs to be paid in full 4 weeks before the cruise. This option is just available if booking on behalf of a group of 10 or more. You can’t do this online, so you’ll need to either give us a call or email during office hours.

A few more important things…

• • Tickets are not refundable once booked unless the event is cancelled by us.
• • Party Nights Afloat are not suitable for under 18s, and we cannot accept stag group bookings. Fancy dress is very welcome onboard, but please note that we do not allow feather boas, confetti, or loose glitter.
• • In the rare event that the boat is unable to sail due to weather or river conditions, the party will still take place on a stationary boat.
• • We want everyone to have a safe and fun night. We reserve the right to refuse entry to ticketholders who are intoxicated or return early if we need to ask a passenger to leave.
• • If you are making several separate bookings for one group, please choose one group name (eg. “Sarah’s Hen Party”) and enter this on the booking form, so we can make sure you’re all seated together.
• • Please note that as this is an enclosed indoor space, we cannot allow smoking/vaping all the time. We usually allow a couple of smoking/vaping breaks through the evening in a designated space onboard but occasionally this is not possible. Please consider before booking whether you would be happy with this arrangement.
• • Our house DJs stick broadly to the theme but will sometimes play tunes from other eras to get everyone up and dancing.
• • We need to know at least 7 days in advance about any dietary requirements, including vegetarians. If you don’t know all of them when you complete the booking online, please get in touch nearer the time to confirm your needs.

See you onboard!
