Tips & Advice

  • Book online at least two days before your chosen date, because online booking closes two days before each cruise.
  • Tell the crew about food intolerances when you book, because ones reported on the day or evening may not be possible to accommodate.
  • For company or group bookings, tell the organizer in advance if drinks should not go on one shared bill paid after the cruise.
  • Bring a warm coat for the open deck, which has the best views of the city lit up at night as you cruise the Main.
  • Budget separately for drinks, because the ticket covers the meal, the close-up magic and the party but no drinks.
