About our River Thames Sightseeing Cruises
Our captains provide informative and entertaining commentary, shedding new light on both the history and modern life of this fascinating city. With the option to sit on our spacious open upper deck or in comfortable indoor saloons, you’re guaranteed a panoramic view of London’s best sights including the Tower of London, Houses of Parliament, South Bank and more.
For families, a Thames river cruise is the most relaxing way to see the sights, avoid traffic and busy trains.
Our Thames sightseeing cruise single tickets will take you from point A to B with comfort and in style. You can also purchase a return ticket to your original Thames river cruise starting point too.
We have 4 strategically located piers at Westminster, Tower, London-Eye, and Greenwich, that allow easy access to all the main riverside attractions while ensuring less of your sightseeing
time is spent waiting at a pier.
Want to see more of London from the water? You can make the most of your London river cruise with a 24h river pass. It’s an all-day hop on, hop off Thames ticket offering unlimited access to the river for 24 hours.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Please ensure you check the latest timetable schedule on the website as times may vary throughout the year.
When you arrive for your cruise please walk straight down onto the pier. Where you will be greeted by our pier staff, have your ticket ready to be then directed to your boarding point.
