Princess River Cruises operates the Nottingham Princess, the largest river cruiser on the River Trent, licensed for up to 140 guests and based at the River Lodge in Colwick, around two miles from Nottingham city centre. The boat is a genuine floating music venue: heated, enclosed interior saloons each with their own bar and dancefloor, plus a spacious open deck with panoramic river views. Its signature live-music event is the annual Soul on the River cruise - the very best in soul, funk, R&B, neo-soul and new jack swing - running a pre-party from 4pm, boarding around 7:30pm and an after-party through to 3am, alongside other boat parties and private hires. Bookings: 0115 9100401.
