Overview
We thrive on river life, embarking every 20 to 40 minutes depending on the season, ensuring you experience London's landmarks like never before. Our Sightseeing Cruise begins from four prime Thames locations: Westminster Pier, London Eye Pier, Tower Pier, and Greenwich Pier. We've strategically chosen these four piers to strike the perfect balance between easy access to main attractions and maximizing your sightseeing cruise time. From the majestic Tower of London to the iconic Houses of Parliament, the lively South Bank, and historic Greenwich, soak in the beauty of London's riverside from a unique perspective.
Our aim? To elevate your river cruise into something extraordinary. Picture panoramic views from our riverboats, offering both an open-air upper deck for basking in the scenery or a cosy, heated indoor saloon. Plus, there's a café-bar and restrooms onboard for your refreshment needs and onboard activities including engaging activity books to keep the little ones entertained throughout the journey.
Our expert captains narrate the journey and provide commentary in English, offering insights into the city's history and sights, and providing a fresh perspective on London's rich story. For our overseas guests, we also provide commentary in 14 different languages via City Experiences app.
Our sightseeing ticket is perfect for those who like to plan their day as they go. Pre-book your ticket and arrive at any of our piers at any time to hop on board.
