Why not do something different and entertain your guests on the magnificent River Thames, recently host to the unforgettable Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Pageant.

Why not do something different and entertain your guests on the magnificent River Thames, recently host to the unforgettable Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Pageant. A river cruise will provide you with a fantastic and ever-changing city skyline rich in both cutting-edge and historic architecture. Create the perfect backdrop for cocktail cruises, dinners, office celebrations, Christmas parties and summer BBQs.

Unique to William B is her wonderful open forward deck, making her the perfect venue for summer BBQs – what could be better on a warm summer evening than sitting on the upper deck listening to a musician or two and watching the world drift by.

The deliciously welcoming teak panelled entrance hall leads on to a modern and contemporary stateroom complete with high quality carpets, sleek and polished wooden flooring and fresh, clean lines. The subdued lighting and authentic nautical touches add to the luxurious feel of the surroundings. The main saloon is framed with large, opening windows providing you with an unrivalled view of the river. Seating arrangements can be accommodated in a number of configurations depending on your function and a dance floor can also be provided.

There is also the option to finish your night with the spectacular opening of Tower Bridge – just for you and your guests!

William B was built as the Sir Thomas More for the Thames Guided Tours in 1982. Her sister ship, Sir Richard Grenville, was delivered a year later and the two vessels worked together until 1988 when the Sir Thomas More was sold to Thames Television for private trips based in Teddington. It was only in 1999 that she was bought by Thames Leisure and renamed William B. She remains in the fleet to this day offering the Thames charter market a sophisticated and luxurious cruise for corporate events or private parties.
