Thames Alive Thames Alive is the one-stop-shop for anyone wishing to arrange an event on the River Thames

Team Thames Alive is driving the initiative with distinctive and major river events, the like of which have not been seen since the mid-nineteenth century, notably major Tudor pageants in 2009 and 2010. It initiated and is now assisting the organisers with the manpowered section of the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant on 3 June 2012. Thames Alive also successfully campaigned for London 2012 to include a substantial stretch of the river for the Olympic Torch Relay and is organising its journey from Hampton Court Palace to the Pool of London on 27 July 2012.

Sunbury Dry Dock has reopened to passenger vessels following a sustained British Marine campaign supported by members and local MPs.

British Marine member Thames RiverCruise’s Caversham Princess has become the first passenger vessel to use the facility since its closure more than five years ago.

The reopening, under an 18-month lease between the Environment Agency and British Marine member R8 Marine, restores access to an important facility for essential vessel surveys and maintenance.

Its long-term future will depend on industry demand. Operators interested in using the dry dock are encouraged to secure their bookings and help demonstrate its continuing commercial value.

We hope all our guests aboard the Elizabethan thoroughly enjoyed the event. Also a big thank you to the Thames Luxury Charters team for kindly hosting us.
