Hen Parties in York

Celebrate your Hen Party, Birthday or Night Out with City Cruises York. Whatever the occasion, you can celebrate with family and friends aboard the Captain James Cook and enjoy one of our wonderful party cruises.

Looking for a hen night to remember?

Choose from the following three options for a memorable time on the River Ouse:

Party Nights Afloat

Perfect for smaller groups who want to party the night away with others on our dedicated party boat, the Captain James Cook. You simply buy tickets for everyone in your group and we take care of everything else!

Your ticket includes:

  • A glass of house Prosecco
  • Delicious buffet
  • Live professional disco
  • ​3 hour cruise

Fancy dress groups are very welcome!

Full details are available on our Party Nights Afloat cruise page

City Cruises York Private Charters

Perhaps a more cost-effective and exclusive option for larger groups is privately chartering your own boat for the evening, suitable for groups from as little as 20 people up to 100.

We can assist you in creating your own bespoke floating party with a choice of boat, food, boarding drinks, entertainment and decorations. Impress your hen guests with cocktails and a buffet or delicious dinner and drinks. Dance the night away or simply sit back and relax in the comfortable saloon or spacious top deck.

Please note our additional Terms and Conditions for Hen Party Private Charters:

  • A maximum 3 hour boat hire
  • A buffet from one of our menus must be ordered
  • A returnable security bond must be paid to secure your booking
