Please join us for a social reception aboard the Dixie Queen on the evening of Wednesday, November 20th.
DETAILS:
Facebook will provide shuttles to transport guests from the Facebook office to Tower Pier where we will board the Dixie Queen. The ship will cruise down River Thames from 7:00-9:30pm with a special siting of London's Tower Bridge opening for the Dixie Queen to pass through. Food and beverages will be served onboard. After the cruise, Facebook will again provide shuttles to transport guests from Tower Pier back to the Facebook office where guests will then arrange their own transportation home.
Facebook will offer to cover your roundtrip flights and hotel costs (up to four nights - Mon Nov 18, Tues Nov 19, Wed Nov 20, and Thurs Nov 21) booked directly through our online booking tool. Any extra hotel nights requested for additional personal stay will be at the cost of the guest requesting, and will not be covered by Facebook. IMPORTANT: Facebook is unable to reimburse flights, hotel accommodations, or ground transportation booked outside of our online booking tool.
