About

Red-and-white vessels have plied the Thames for 35+ years, proving London looks best from its liquid spine. Every 30-40 minutes, boats depart four key piers for hop-on-hop-off exploration or continuous cruising—because understanding London requires seeing how the river shaped everything from Roman walls to Canary Wharf.

Fleet & Features

Traditional cruisers and glass-topped modern boats offer choice: climate-controlled comfort or wind-in-hair authenticity. Multiple decks, full bars, and cafés mean morning coffee, afternoon tea, or sunset cocktails accompany landmark viewing.

Live commentary distinguishes City Cruises—theatrical guides share Thames secrets: which monarch exploded at Westminster, how the 1858 Great Stink saved the river. Family afternoon humor shifts to sophisticated evening wit.

Routes & Experiences

Hop-on-hop-off connects Westminster-London Eye-Tower Bridge-Greenwich efficiently. Combination tickets include attractions with skip-the-line privileges. Evening illuminations transform the journey as bridges create light necklaces.

Themed cruises span jazz nights to afternoon tea floats. Christmas carols and New Year's Eve parties book early. Educational programs serve schools; private charters handle weddings. Hybrid vessels show environmental commitment. Best value: all-day tickets for pier-hopping flexibility.
