Saying goodbye to a loved one is one of life’s most personal moments. At Thames Party Boats, we provide a serene and dignified ash-scattering ceremony on the River Thames, offering families a peaceful and meaningful way to honour someone special.
Set against the tranquil waters and timeless London landmarks, our private vessel offers a calm, private space for reflection, remembrance and celebration of life.
This is a moment to pause, connect and remember — and we are here to support you with empathy and care throughout the journey.
Our ash-scattering cruises are designed to give families the privacy and comfort they need for this significant occasion:
🎟️ Rated capacity for public ticketed events — we specialise in events where guests purchase tickets in advance.
🌃 Iconic London backdrop — sail past Tower Bridge, The Shard, the London Eye and more, creating memorable event photos and videos.
🛥️ Premium vessel & venue facilities — multiple decks, licensed bars, dance-floor space, staging, lighting and sound built for events.
🔧 On-board event production support — from PA systems and monitors to lighting rigs and live streaming.
✅ Fully managed guest experience — ticketing entrance, bar staff, security and event crew included so you can focus on your event delivery.
We welcome families of all faiths, backgrounds and traditions. Whether you prefer a quiet and intimate gathering or a more ceremonial farewell, we will help you create the right atmosphere.
