London’s Igloo Fondue Experience Might Be the Most Romantic Date Idea Ever
Looking for a romantic (and unique) date idea in London? We’re giving you an inside look at the Igloo Fondue experience with Skuna Boats.
Cozy igloos, melted cheese (or chocolate) and a cruise—what more can you ask for on Valentine’s Day? Internationista was one of the first to try the Igloo Fondue experience by Skuna Boats, where you’ll find self-drive dock cruises on boats with floating barbecue facilities or steam-powered hot tubs. The experience was more than romantic and was the perfect Galentine’s Day idea or date idea. Here’s what to know below!

What Does the Igloo Fondue Experience come with?

For just £45 per person (up to 9 people per boat), you’ll get a warm and intimate ride close to the River Thames, complete with a:
Welcome drink—choose between mulled wine or rich hot chocolate (we tried the hot chocolate, and it was absolutely delicious!).
Tasty Alpine snack—in our case, cinnamon-toasted pretzels.
30-minute guided boat tour through West India Quay, where a friendly guide enhances the experience with fun conversation while also giving you time to enjoy the moment.
Once the tour wraps up, the real indulgence begins! You and your date (or friends) will have the igloo to yourselves for a cozy 60-minute fondue session. Snuggle up under warm blankets, connect to the Bluetooth speaker to play your favorite tunes and dive into either:
Classic Cheese Fondue – Served with potatoes, salad, cornichons, bread and a curated meat selection.
Decadent Chocolate Fondue – A dream for chocolate lovers, featuring an assortment of fruit and sweet treats like bananas, strawberries, waffles, apples and more.
We opted for the chocolate fondue, and Internationista gives it a solid 10/10! The chocolate was rich, velvety and perfectly warm throughout the entire experience, thanks to the built-in heater that keeps it at the ideal temperature. If you’re looking to indulge in a sweet, romantic treat during the afternoon or evening, don’t miss out on this experience.

What Other Experiences Does Skuna Boats Offer?
If the Igloo Boat Fondue wasn’t exciting enough, Skuna Boats offers two more incredible experiences that take London’s waterways to the next level!
Hot Tub Boat: Relax & Sail in a Floating Spa
Imagine cruising through Canary Wharf in your very own wood-fired hot tub boat—yes, you read that right! This self-drive experience lets you soak in warm, 38°C fresh water (changed after every trip) while you float along the river. It’s easy to steer, incredibly fun and perfect for a unique day out with friends or a romantic date. Who wouldn’t want a floating spa day with a view?
BBQ Boat: Grill & Chill on the Water
For foodies looking for something different, the BBQ Boat is a must-try! You get two hours and 40 minutes on the water, complete with a built-in BBQ grill. Bring your own ingredients or choose from one of Skuna’s curated food packages—either way, you’ll be flipping burgers and grilling up your favorites while drifting along the river. Good food, great vibes and scenic views? Sounds like the ultimate London outing!
Whether you're soaking in a hot tub or grilling with friends, Skuna Boats offers unforgettable experiences that bring a fresh twist to London’s waterways. Which one would you try first?
