Thames Rockets - Jingle Bell Blast + Meet Santa
London
It’s that magical time of year again where festive firesides, twinkling tree lights, and Christmas cheer are everywhere! Thames Rockets is revving up for one of its most exhilarating seasonal adventures: the Jingle Bell Blast. Step aboard one of the super-slick speedboats - fast enough for Santa himself and get ready for a yuletide adventure like no other.
Sing your heart out to classic Christmas carols as you glide along the Thames, taking in London’s most iconic landmarks in all their wintery glory. From the London Eye and Houses of Parliament to Tower Bridge, The Shard, and Canary Wharf, this whizzy winter ride offers a unique perspective of the city. Who knows - you might even see a little snow to make your festive journey extra magical!
The highlight of the experience is the trademark Thames Rockets Christmas medley. Hold on tight as you ‘fly’ through Canary Wharf, just like Santa on his sleigh, sweeping across the docklands and waving to other boats and onlookers along the shoreline. With an energetic crew ensuring fun for everyone, this is a ride full of laughter, cheer, and unforgettable moments.
On weekends, Santa himself joins the festivities, bringing treats and smiles for everyone and happy to pose for photos to make your Christmas truly memorable. Voted the #1 attraction in London on TripAdvisor for over a decade, this 60-minute speedboat adventure is the ultimate way to kick off the holiday season. Are you ready to soar into a wintery wonderland?
