If you are searching for a Christmas activity in London that feels calm, festive, and special, our Christmas boat trip aboard The Tarporley is a perfect choice. This seasonal cruise gives you time to slow down, enjoy the winter air, and experience the canal in a completely different way. The Tarporley is our historic narrowboat, and every trip supports our charity work focused on mental wellbeing across the local community.
This year’s Christmas cruises have already become one of our most popular experiences. Many dates have sold out, and the remaining trips are filling fast. Each sailing offers a memorable journey through some of London’s most iconic canal scenery, with a warm welcome from our friendly volunteer crew.
Visitors enjoy a three-hour round trip along Regent’s Canal. The cruise starts at King’s Place and turns at Camden Lock. You travel through four locks and glide under at least one bridge. You pass three of Camden’s famous markets and see the canal from a quiet, peaceful angle rarely experienced in winter. The boat is heated and decorated for the season, creating a cosy atmosphere throughout the journey.
Each Christmas boat trip includes a mince pie and a hot drink. You can choose alcohol-free mulled wine, hot chocolate, tea, or coffee. Guests can relax inside or step outside with blankets if they prefer views from the front deck. The crew share stories about the canal’s history and wildlife, and you also have the option to watch the lock work up close. The atmosphere feels calm and friendly, and many passengers describe the cruise as a welcome moment of pause in a busy month.
Families, couples, and groups enjoy this experience for different reasons. Some guests want a peaceful Christmas activity London that offers something new. Others love the mix of history, scenery, and festive treats. Some passengers enjoy the chance to disembark at Camden Market. If you choose this option, the journey becomes one way, but it adds excitement to the experience.
You can also book exclusive hire for up to twelve people. This option works well for team outings, festive gatherings, and small celebrations. Spaces are now very limited. We encourage everyone to book soon to avoid disappointment.
