Thames Rockets Speed Boat Ride and Three Course Meal with Wine at Brasserie Blanc for Two
About this experience
Set your hearts racing with a Thames Rockets speed boat ride, followed by a three course meal with wine at Brasserie Blanc for Two.
A fast-paced and unique way to experience the capital, you’ll skim across the surface of the River Thames aboard a purpose-built Rigid Inflatable Boat, taking in the sights, sounds and stories all whilst enjoying the ride. This isn’t a gentle meander across the Thames– the speedboat is capable of 30 knots, and you’ll feel the buzz in this adrenaline-packed sightseeing tour.
You’ll also enjoy three courses of authentic French fare from a set menu full of fresh, seasonal ingredients at Brasserie Blanc. Top things off with a glass of wine each to give it that ‘special occasion’ feel.

What happens on the day?
Ahead of the boat ride, the two of you will be greeted by a member of staff, receive a quick briefing and be handed any safety equipment you require. With an experienced tour guide on board, you’ll buzz over the water with speed and style whilst viewing the most popular sights of London. Don’t forget your camera as you find yourself under the amazing Thames Bridges and exploring parts of the river that are inaccessible to other boats.
You’ll make your booking in advance for either lunch or dinner at one of four London-based Brasserie Blanc restaurants. On arrival you’ll be warmly welcomed and shown to your table. Brasserie Blanc have hand-selected a wonderful set menu for each of their Virgin Experience Days guests to dine from. Dishes can be ordered on arrival and are based on the latest seasonal offerings. Take your time making your selection of three courses from the set menu that features at least three choices for each course, and enjoy a 125ml glass of house wine, half a pint of lager, or soft drink as you dine.
