Rugby Internationals
Once the excitement of a Wales rugby match is over and electric atmosphere from inside the Millennium Stadium has dissipated you’re bound to be in search of somewhere that’ll keep your spirits high. The ideal place to find that kind of morale is with the crew aboard the Cardiff Party Boat, better known as the HMS 69!
Tickets are never available on the day, so book in advance NOW or you could be stuck walking the streets feeling hungry and thirsty. **
The HMS69 crew are forever ready and waiting to take you and your mates on a three hour cruise down the River Taff, around Cardiff bay and back right into the centre of the city to find the best Cardiff night clubs or head off to your Cardiff hotels. While you are aboard make sure you take full advantage of the free bar and free BBQ food included within the ticket price; it’s a little difficult to believe but it is true! That means no worrying where you’ll get served or having to walk for miles to get soggy chips, simply hop on board and let the crew take care of you in true Welsh sporting style!
The boat disembarks from the Taff Mead embankment jetty either 3 and a half hours before kick off or twenty minutes afterwards and if you’ve planned a huge group trip in mini buses up to the stadium for a rugby match then there are no worries there either; the Cardiff Party Boat HMS69 has a maximum capacity of 49 guests! As long as you book in advance you can all celebrate together. As for the food and drink, they’re top quality and none of the cheap no-branded lager and wine simply because it’s free. Your ticket price pays for the great well known brands we know that you’ll enjoy.
Perhaps you’re directly involved in a rugby match and would like a prestigious and stylish way to round off the perfect game? In that case it is possible to book the HMS 69 party venue outright, so that the party is a little more exclusive. That way you can celebrate in private, while eating drinking, dancing and watching the stunning lit-up night time Cardiff float by. We’re open to suggestions and the Cardiff Party Boat crew are always open to following your preferred fancy dress theme, so if you fancy a laugh let us know!
Whether it’s England v Wales rugby, the 6 nations, the Heineken cup or any other big rugby game for that matter, the HMS 69 booze cruise party boat and her crew are always ready and waiting to launch you into the night with style. So when you order your Wales tickets, order your HMS 69 ones at the same time!
