Jon from Marketing, June 2019

What did you get up to?
We arrived for our experience on the hottest day of the year so far. After a sweltering, but very picturesque walk down the Embankment we came to Festival Pier, where our boat was moored. We were guided onto the boat by the crew and given our complimentary glass of Prosecco before being shown to our table on the top deck. The tables were well spaced and dressed in white linen. It was quite an experience drinking prosecco whilst gazing out across the water to the Houses of Parliament.

As we set sail, the captain gave us our route and pointed out all the sights, giving us interesting facts about the places we passed. The intrepid boat made its way past the Houses of Parliament before turning to head down stream on our way to Canary Wharf.

Our afternoon tea was served with a variety of sandwiches, scones, and cakes as well as a choice of tea or coffee to wash them down with.

After eating we were encouraged to go onto the viewing decks on the front and rear of the boat. The views were stunning, and we thoroughly enjoyed waving at the passing boats as we headed through Docklands towards Canary Wharf. This was a side of London we hadn’t seen before. We saw beaches and secret coves along the sides of the river and some amazing new buildings that seem to be growing all the time.

All in all, the whole experience lasted and hour and three quarters and we never felt rushed.

What did you enjoy the most?
The food was great! It was fresh and tasty and there was plenty for the both of us. The Red Velvet cake was especially good!

Top Tip

1. Make sure you go out on the open deck when they offer you the chance as the views are some of the best you will see in London, from a totally different perspective.

A very pleasant day in Poole so we were lucky that the sun was shining as experience was Sept. Nice boat trip, very relaxing with excellent commentary. Service was quick on board though as sandwiches were distributed in the same direction every time, we missed out on the brown bread...my favourite. Sandwiches were lovely and fresh though. The afternoon tea is shared between 4 people on one shared table so this was the first time I felt unfulfilled eating an afternoon tea as I'm usually stuffed. I felt I couldn't eat everything I wanted as there was another couple also sharing so for me, not enough to eat for 4 people. We shared the table with a very nice couple so that was good. So, a bit more food and sandwich direction rotated and this would have gained a 5 stars.

My wife and I were delighted with the experience aboard Dorset Queen. The boat has a wonderful history being part of the Dunkirk Evecuation Armada. The crew were friendly and informative. The afternoon cream tea was first rate. Our trip around Poole Harbour was scenic and the sun shone on the sparkling sea. It reminded us a little of Venice as we left the quay side with the heritage buildings and the leisurely groups of diners at the outdoor cafés. A truly memorable experience.
