Chester Tour Expert to Host Christmas Parties

Known for its relaxing tours of the idyllic River Dee, Chesterboat is long-standing operator in the city. Over the festive season, the local tour specialist has been holding season party nights on board its well-maintained vessels, and there are still two more dates to come.

Friday, December 20 and Saturday, December 21 will see Chesterboat invite revellers aboard for Christmas parties on the river. Popular for unique office parties with a nautical theme they are also a great way for Chester visitors to get a new perspective on the city while they celebrate. A returning activity, the party nights have tempted guests in the past to sail the Dee in fancy dress or Christmas jumpers to get into the festive spirit.

A glass of wine is served on the deck when partygoers arrive, and hot baps stuffed with turkey, or a vegetarian alternative, are provided for an easy-to-eat festive supper. With an understanding that no party is complete without music and dancing, a disco equipped with a professional local DJ is planned. Guests can dance and sing along to a selection of floor fillers and Christmas classics.

The boat will have a fully stocked bar taking cash onboard for wines, ciders, spirits, beer, and soft drinks; it is fully heated and enclosed against the winter weather. In rare cases of extremely poor weather, the boat will remain stationary, but the party will still go on.

The Christmas party cruises are three hours long, setting sale from The Groves at 7 pm and returning at 10 pm.
