Elvis Tribute Cruise at Henley Royal Regatta

Step aboard for a one-off Thames cruise during Britain's most prestigious rowing event. Enjoy a live Elvis tribute performance from Alvin, a freshly prepared buffet, complimentary bubbles, and unrivalled views of the regatta course — all from the comfort of the river.

Meet Alvin — The Ultimate Elvis Tribute

Since 1990, Alvin has been thrilling audiences across the country with his electrifying tribute to Elvis Presley. From intimate pub nights to sold-out music weekenders and Caribbean cruises, his reputation as one of the finest Elvis tribute acts in the UK speaks for itself — and he's bringing that energy to the River Thames for Henley Royal Regatta 2026.

This exclusive partnership between Alvin and Salter's Steamers pairs world-class live entertainment with over 165 years of Thames heritage. Following the success of previous riverboat specials at Henley, Alvin returns with a brand-new afternoon of music, great food, and an atmosphere that captures the spirit of both the King of Rock 'n' Roll and the British summer season at its finest.

Beyond the stage, Alvin is the founder of the CHARM charity, which has raised over £100,000 for charitable causes. His passion for bringing people together — whether through music, fundraising, or unforgettable events — shines through in every performance.

Watch the Regatta from the Heart of the Thames

Most spectators experience Henley Royal Regatta from the riverbank. This cruise puts you at the centre of the action, gliding along the famous 2,112-metre course as world-class rowers compete just metres from your seat. It's a perspective that few ever get to enjoy.

Thursday 2nd July falls during the peak of regatta week — a day renowned for competitive heats and a vibrant atmosphere both on and off the water. With Alvin's Elvis tribute as your soundtrack and the Oxfordshire countryside as your backdrop, this Thames cruise offers something genuinely unlike any other hospitality experience at Henley.

Salter's Steamers has been navigating this stretch of the River Thames since 1858, and there's no better partner for a day that blends British sporting heritage with show-stopping entertainment. Sit back, soak it all in, and let us handle the rest.
