FAQs:
FAQs:
- Is Brian really going to be there?
Yes! National Treasure Brian Blessed will be on-board and regaling the audience with anecdotes & entertainment as the boat cruises leisurely down the Thames.
- How does it all work?
You will embark the boat at your designated time (please don't be late!) and then spend 45 mins gliding past London landmarks with Captain Brian at the helm. After that, there'll be a short interval and an opportunity to go onto the upper deck; take photos; grab a drink at the bar; and (situation permitting), meet & greet Brian. Following the interval, on the return leg, we will have a Q & A session where you can ask Brian any burning questions.
- Is the event inside or outside?
The show takes place inside with panoramic views of the Thames & London landmarks. Although, of course, Brian is the main attraction. During the interval, there is an opportunity to head to the upper deck and soak up the sun (weather permitting!) as well as take some photos.
- Why don't you know the exact boarding location?
We are unable to specify the exact Pier at time of going live with sales due to TFL (Transport for London) having not opened up bookings post March 23 yet. We anticipate to update the listing with the exact location by March, if not sooner.
- Is there food and drink available for purchase?
Customers can purchase a drink during the interval and then until the end of the cruise. Drinks are not available to buy prior to the interval to avoid long queues when embarking the boat prior to the event. However, all tickets include a FREE drink on arrival which you will pick up before taking your seats. No food is being sold on this trip and your own food is not permitted, so please make sure you're well fed before attending.
- Is there a minimum age?
Due to alcohol being sold and Brian's fairly frequent potty mouth, this show is 18+.
- What's the loo situation?
There are plenty of loos onboard.
- Do you have wheelchair access?
