Not just another
NYE party.

01

Selling out since 2006

Nearly two decades of sold-out NYE parties. You're not taking a chance on something new — you're joining a London tradition that delivers every single year without fail.

02

Bar is all-inclusive

Beer, wine, prosecco, spirits and soft drinks included in every ticket. No tab, no surprise bills. Just great drinks all night so you can focus on the dancing and the fireworks.

03

The music is actually good

DJ Charlie Price plays the real stuff — proper disco, proper house. Our crowd comes for the music first. That means a dancefloor full of people who know how to move.

04

Best fireworks view in London

On the Thames, on a private boat, with an uninterrupted view as fireworks explode above Tower Bridge and the London Eye at midnight. Nothing else in London comes close.

05

Strictly 240 guests

A private vessel with just 240 guests means space to dance, room at the bar, and a real atmosphere. This is the difference between an event you endure and one you actually enjoy.

06

Past Big Ben, Tower Bridge & the Eye

The route takes you past London's most iconic landmarks at night — illuminated, magical, entirely yours. Whether local or visiting from abroad, this is London at its absolute finest.

Disco Waves NYE 2026 — Thames boat party flyer

Forget the packed pub.
This is NYE sorted.

This New Year's Eve, spend 31 December aboard the Golden Flame, celebrating in the heart of London with friends, drinks flowing and a proper New Year's Eve soundtrack as we party on the River Thames.

We've been welcoming guests to our New Year's Eve Thames parties for years, with people returning year after year. This isn't a new pop-up event. It's a night we know, love and look forward to every December.

With only around 240 guests aboard, Disco Waves offers something very different from spending midnight squeezed into a huge London club. Perfect for couples, groups of friends, birthday celebrations and anyone looking to make New Year's Eve 2026 properly memorable.
