Thames Cruises can be a great idea for some events- a poker night, weddings, clay pigeon shootng, but also some stranger events that you may not have thought of -heres afew that have been seen going down the Thames recently.

• The sushi making cruise -Maybe not as strange, seeing as sushi is raw fish. Guests get the chance to prepare and eat their own sushi whilst being taught by a top chef the art of preparing sushi. At least if yours doesnt quite come out very well, it can also go back into the sea.
• Dacning lessons from the stars- Taught by Camilla Dallerup and Ian Waite of the tv show ‘Strictly come dancing’, guests are taught a variety of different dancing styles, from the salsa to the cha cha to the rumba, waltz and the tango. The music alternates between djs and a live band, so bring both your sea legs and blue suede shoes.
• A chocolate cruise -Your given the choice between having it be a plain tasting event or a team building exercise. In the team building exercise you’ll get to play Nestle at their own sweet game, by developing your own brand of chocolate, ad campiagns and slogansas well. The tasting session gives those with a sweet tooth a chance to go chocolate crazy and over induldge.
• DJ-ing lessons. Learn to man the decks while the ships crew man the mast. Upto four different events, from dj face offs to just having a floating nightclub for the evening, each events can hold betwween 50-1000 people and last between 3-6.
• A pampering cruise -Go out to sea for afew hours to forget all your troubles to be pampered. Starting with a champagne reception and food, then you can choose from a range of treatments ranging from massages, manicures and pedicures.  Good ideas for hen and birthday  parties and networking oppotunities for the ladies.

If your looking to make your party alittle different, consider the idea of thames cruises, which can be host to one of the following events:

• A wedding- what better way to celebrate your big day then out at sea? People will most likely remember it (hopefully all for the right reasons) as the most unique wedding they’ve been to. With the backdrop of the sea and the sun setting into it as you get married, you could achieve those dreams of tv romance which youve always had in your head.
• A casino night -New oreleans had run aground river steam boats to gamble on- go one step beyond and grab your sea fairing legs and poker face for anight out. No way off the boat until you’ve won everyones money (and a few pink slips) and can provide a alternative venue if you dont fancy a crowded casino.
• The office xmas party -What better way to celebrate xmas, the new year and afew days off work than out on the water? It lets the staff know you appreicate the effort they’ve put in and given thought to the celebrations. Though it would be wise to make sure the drunker members of staff dont accidently fall overboard.
• Conferences – Hosting one out at sea may interest more investors down, and its unique background setting is bound to attract attention. You could get alot of stalls out on a bigger boat, and investors cant just run out on the conference before you’ve given them your pitch.
• Murder mystery weekend -Ever fancied playing detective or feel that your the next Hercule Poirot? None of the suspects can get away and the police wont be showing up for awhile, so its up to you to solve this one. But your murderer can throw the evidence overboard, so keep your eyes peeled.
• Clay pigeon shooting -A city dweller born and bred? Dont really want to go out to the country? Afew hours on a boat shooting clay objects, then back in time for a few drinks at the bar.
