Halloween on the Thames 2026: boarding, tickets and the party-boat plan

The published plan boards at 12:30 at Tower Millennium Pier and departs at 13:00, returning around 17:00.

Photo ID is required and the event is 18+. The listing describes multiple decks with DJs and an outdoor viewing area.

Open the live ticket selector for the current price and remaining allocation.

Choose an arrival target earlier than boarding.

Save the pier name, not simply “Tower Bridge”, and check your route before setting out. Keep tickets and ID accessible rather than buried inside a costume.

If your group arrives separately, meet on land before joining the boarding queue.

Food and drinks are not included in the listed general ticket.

Decide on a separate spending allowance and check payment arrangements with the organiser. Avoid stacking another non-refundable booking immediately after the advertised return: the return time is approximate, and you still need to disembark and reach your next stop.

Choose footwear you can comfortably stand and walk in, and bring a layer suitable for an exposed deck.

Ask the organiser about steps, toilets and assistance before buying if access arrangements determine whether the trip works for you. Check the operator’s current admission and cancellation conditions rather than assuming ordinary sightseeing-cruise rules.
