When it comes to celebrating New Years Eve in Europe, London is a prime location for those wishing to celebrate in style, and what better part of London to see in the New Year than on one of our party boats, next to Big Ben, with the finest view of all the tremendous firework action.

Treat yourself to a truly special and unique New Years Eve experience on board the MV Pride of London and see in 2012 in fabulous and festive nautical style!

Party people, pleasure enthusiasts and New Years Eve revellers unite on the MV Pride of London party cruise, as it sets sail down the River Thames for a fun, spectacular and mind-blowing voyage.

Spectacular fireworks displays lit up cities around the world last night as people celebrated the start of 2012.

In London fireworks were shot out of Big Ben itself tor the first time as the bell chimed at midnight to usher in the New Year. An estimated 250,000 people watched the 11minute display from Embankment along the Thames.

Mayor Boris Johnson said it was a fitting way to mark the start of an extraordinary year for the city which will host the Olympic Games.

The Mayor of London's office said the display was the result of 12 months of planning. A crew of 306 has been working on the site since Boxing Day, with 1,803 staff - including stewards - on duty on the night itself.

There were 30 tonnes of equipment on the three fireworks barges on the river ready for the display, which was triggered by GPS to the chimes of Big Ben.

The start of the London fireworks was accompanied by a recording of the moment the capital learned it would host next summer's Olympic and Paralympic Games.
