3. New venue, Oceandiva, arriving soon!

Thursday 17 March 2022

Sailing into the Thames this October, Oceandiva will be the UK’s first CO2-neutral venue on the river, revolutionising the UK events and hospitality sector and adding another superb option for larger parties, conferences and events in London.

Oceandiva London will be the largest floating events space on the Thames, measuring 86m in length and 17m in width, spanning three decks and capable of hosting large-scale events in its 2,625 m2 of event space including receptions, conferences, gala dinners, seasonal parties, product launches and brand activations both inside and on it’s open top deck, for up to 1,500 guests standing and 600 seated.

Guests can embark and disembark Oceandiva London from London Bridge, Tower Bridge, Canary Wharf, Greenwich and ExCel or the vessel can stay moored at any of these locations for the duration of an events, if preferred.

With sustainability at its core, Oceandiva London is committed to leading the industry in minimising the impact its activities have by utilising advanced technology and environmental practices. The vessel will boast state of the art architectural design with the latest marine technology featuring noise-reducing electric engines, and superior soundproofing.

The architecture and design of the vessel allows guests on board to experience the City, connecting guests to London’s world-renowned landmarks. Whether moored or sailing, the internal height of the vessel allows for huge production values and the exterior space gives guests a unique opportunity to view London through its main artery… The River Thames.

Designed, built and owned by Oceandiva, founded by Edwin Petersen in 2003 in the Netherlands, the ship will be the first London venture outside of mainland Europe from the group who are well established in Germany, the Netherlands.
