Princess River Cruises

Princess River Cruises offers organisers a distinctive event venue on the River Trent, combining scenic cruising with hospitality, dining and entertainment. Based at the River Lodge in Colwick, just outside Nottingham city centre, the business provides a memorable setting for corporate functions, private celebrations, wedding receptions, hen parties, anniversaries, Christmas parties and other special occasions.

The Nottingham Princess is available for private charter and can accommodate informal gatherings of up to around 130 guests, while formal dining events can be arranged for larger seated groups across the two deck levels. The fully enclosed and heated vessel is designed for comfortable cruising throughout the year and includes bars, catering facilities, a lounge and dance floor. Depending on the event format, organisers can arrange meals ranging from buffets and barbecues to traditional wedding breakfasts, along with drinks packages and entertainment.

For daytime occasions, Princess River Cruises offers two or three-hour cruise and dine experiences, afternoon tea, traditional meals and seasonal packages. Evening sailings create a livelier atmosphere, with food, a resident DJ, dancing and a fully stocked bar included in selected packages. Private bookings can be tailored to suit corporate hospitality, client entertainment, team celebrations, milestone birthdays and social gatherings.

The River Lodge adds another useful event space, providing a bar, reception room, kitchen facilities, terrace and views across the river. It can be used for pre-cruise drinks, meetings or private functions, with parking available for cars and coaches. The team can also support wedding receptions and onboard blessings, helping organisers bring together venue, catering, drinks and entertainment in one unusual Nottinghamshire setting.
