FANCY doing something different for Christmas? Feeling like pushing the boat out?
The Sunborn Yacht Hotel in London will certainly fit the bill.
Britain’s only luxury super yacht hotel moored in Royal Victoria Dock has announced its festive season offering — and it’s decking its decks with holly and ivy with a real touch of luxury.
You board the mega-yacht, not via a gangplank as you might imagine — but via a sweeping golden staircase that takes you aloft (or is it abaft?), past the very impressive chandelier, to the upper floors. In the restaurant, the cocktail bar or the gin bar you’ll get a first-class view of London’s city skyline while you sip your drink.
The Finnish-built vessel is classically designed, with the 136 bedrooms all generously proportioned and equipped with flatscreen TV and all manner of digital wizardry, wifi etc.
The four suites have private saunas, just the thing for relaxation after a hard day of non-seafaring.
The yacht, you see, doesn’t actually go anywhere so sea-sickness is not a problem, except for the very sensitive.
The tariff over Christmas is:
Christmas Eve – rooms from £290 for a Classic (includes three course dinner, overnight stay and breakfast)
Christmas Day – rooms from £325 for a Classic (includes four course lunch or dinner, overnight stay and breakfast)
Two night Christmas package – rooms from £295 for a Classic per night (includes Christmas Eve 3 Course Dinner, Two Nights Stay, Christmas Day Breakfast, Christmas Day 4 Course Dinner & a Boxing Day Breakfast.)
New Year’s Eve – rooms are from £844 for a classic per night includes dinner, live music followed by the DJ, overnight stay and breakfast)
