Wow had a great 3hr boat cruise celebration for my daughters 4th birthday. So much better than I expected. Our group was a mix of adults & children who all had an amazing time. Main thing that stood out for me was how happy all the crew were & all very welcoming. It really shows how much you love your job & I can see why. We were treat like family from boarding. The whole cruise is organised with great thought in mind. Comfortable seating area with tables both inside and out on deck. Even got to meet the captain who spent alot of time with our group allowing the kids to drive the boat whilst sharing some amazing stories. Food & beverages on board were very reasonably priced & very tasty. First time having seen our City from river/sea view & it really is quite pretty. The tour guide was fantastic & belted out a few geordie songs. Even sang happy birthday on mic to our daughter & chatted with us for a good while. The whole crew were superb & Joan really made our trip extra special. Such a lovely kind lady who took time to chat with our group & was very helpful. Nothing was a problem at all. I hope to see again very soon on our next booking Joan. This gets 10/10 from us all. Thank you. xxx

We've done the quay to countryside, and this fathers day we did the quay to sea cruise. All three of us thoroughly enjoyed it, the commentary was great and we learned a few things along the way. We had hot beef sandwiches for lunch, and then some of that delicious chocolate cake our daughter spotted even before we sat down ’┐Į The captain also let the children have a go at steering the boat, which our daughter took very seriously indeed! She received a nice certificate afterwards too! A great day out all round! (I've actually done all three as I went on the party cruise for my hen night ten years ago!)

We went on the booze cruise on saturday 5th of may. The staff were all friendly and nothing was any trouble! We were a hen party of 19 and had an amazing time from start to finish. We will definitely be back!

We went on 14th July for a group of our gym girls special birthday,had an absolutely quality night,weather was amazing too.the boat was immaculate,had great priced jugs of alcohol.the dj played brilliant range of music.definitely recommend

We did this as a family outing a few years ago , fab day out & great value for money. Would highly recommend it.

We are from South Wales and visiting for the weekend, we booked the 90s boat party Friday night and had a great time. The atmosphere, the music even the weather was perfect would highly recommend ’┐Į

Visited yesterday afternoon for The Santa Cruise...It was great from start to finish, our Son loved seing Olaf to greet us on board. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. You kept us all entertained throughout the afternoon...loved Santa's dance moves. Overall great value for money and will be definitely telling all our friends and family.

Very enjoyable trip upriver on Sunday. Onboard crew were helpful and efficient; recorded commentary informative and interesting; quayside welcome from Graham friendly and entertaining.

Thank for trip today. The 4 of us loved it and Graham thank u for being helpful and making the kids laugh...great time to spend an hour or so x

Surprised my Mum with a MotherŌĆÖs Day Cruise. Could not fault a thing - the boat, the service, the staff- all spot on and well worth the price. CanŌĆÖt believe living in the North East itŌĆÖs taken us so long to discover this. WeŌĆÖll definitely be back with the rest of the family ’┐Į

Our party boarded the Fortuna this morning for The Santa Cruise. We were cheerfully greeted on the gangway by the crew. The trip was great from start to finish. All the staff were so friendly and helpful (particularly Donna and Chef, who kept the hot mince pies, mulled wine, coffees and bacon butties etc. coming.) Santa, the giant Elf, Olaf and all his other little helpers looked ever so smart in their festive outfits...they entertained the children throughout the trip...and my grandchildren had an absolute ball!

This really is a great day out. Looking forward to next year.

Thanks again.

Just returned from the Santa cruise on the Tyne, was lovely to be met by Olaf and the elf, as we boarded the adults were given mulled wine and mince pies, party games and party dances kept the kids entertained all afternoon and santa was fab spent time with each child and asked each one what they wanted for Xmas no rushing them through to get it finished, I rang before hand to ask them if they could supply a allergy friendly selection box and they out did themselves with a fab gift for my grandson would definitely recommend this cruise to my friends and family, each child was given a goody bag and a selection box.

Just down your Santa Cruise! I was very unsure of where we boarded I emailed you guys and came back with all info I needed so massive thanks for that. Very accommodating as we had our pram with us helped us bring it on board. Kids loved it Staff were great and Santa was just lovely. Thank you a lovely family afternoon well spent xxxx

Had a fantastic time with my son on the 3 hour cruise. Food was tasty and the bar had a great selection. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There was crafts for the kids to make and the tour guide seemed very knowledgeable about the history of the river. Would definitely recommend

Had a fabulous time on the Santa Cruise. Kids absolutely loved it.

Greeted by lovely friendly staff who totally embraced the theme and welcomed on board with mulled wine, juice and mince pies.

Loads of free craft items to entertain children and party games with prizes as well as quiz sheets for adults with prizes.

This was the real Santa in his grotto, he was fabulous with the children, generous with gifts for them and had his own letterbox for their letters to Santa. Most of all they loved Santa joining the ŌĆśsnowyŌĆÖ disco.

Loads to choose from on the food/snack menu, fully stocked bar and great scenery.

We loved it ŌØż’ĖÅ­¤ÄäŌø┤Ōśā’ĖÅ ­¤Äģ­¤ī¦­¤Äü­¤Æā­¤ŹĮ­¤ŹĘ­¤Ź║­¤ŹĖ­¤ŹŠŌØż’Ė Å

Did the quay to country trip. An interesting & informative 2 hours, well worth the money. Will definitely be booking the 3 hour quay to coast trip shortly!

Brilliant night for mine and a couple of others special birthday xx 80s night and weather amazing... well recommended, thank you

Been on here twice in the past month and have to say what an amazing night out. First time was the ┬Ż15 party nights which I had won in a competition and it was an 80's night & I had such a fab time. Second night was a themed night for my friends hen due it was pirate themed which included food. The food was fish and chips from north shields fish quay. The boat docked while everyone ate their food and omg it was so beautiful! Its well worth the money & the river escapes really put so much effort into their events by decorating to fit the theme and also staff dressing up. Both times i went on all of the staff were polite, kind and so lovely. The captain, dj, bar staff & security were all very well mannered and do their jobs fantastic and are so friendly towards customers. It's a fab little boat. If your considering it then i 100% recommend it. You will not be disappointed! ’┐Į’┐Į

All 17 of us had a fabulous time last night on the pirate party cruise. The fish and chips were amazing, the staff were fabulous especially the bouncers who were dancing and having a laugh with us, the disco was great and we absolutely loved sitting up on top as the millennium bridge opened just for us. We even got to drive the boat, the captain was such a nice man! This was a surprise for my Mams 60th and we all had the best time. We wanted to do something different and this was perfect. We would highly recommend and will all be booking again soon. Thanks so much to everyone involved especially Jenny who was so patient with me when booking for such a large group. Also, thank you to the staff on the boat for looking after my Aunty who was on her crutches following a foot operation. They helped her up and down the stairs so she didnŌĆÖt miss out on anything x
