Very nice, peaceful and fun. It's best to buy a return ticket; it's worth it. The views are incredible; you see London from a different perspective.

Cruise Details

Fancy seeing the very best of London from the water? This unforgettable cruise along the Thames gives you the chance to admire the capital’s most famous sights like never before. All aboard!

Once on board, the boat will set off down the River Thames towards Tower Bridge. Over the course of the 35-minute journey, you’ll be treated to stunning panoramic views of London’s most celebrated monuments.

From your seat, you’ll spot the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, the London Eye and St Paul’s Cathedral, and the historic Tower of London. Perfect photo opportunities at every turn! And with live commentary from the captain in English or the audio guide app, you’ll also learn fun facts and fascinating stories about landmarks like The Shard and Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre.

As the cruise draws to a close, you’ll slowly approach the majestic Tower Bridge—a Victorian-era bascule bridge that was a true engineering marvel of its time, linking both sides of the Thames.

The journey ends at Butler’s Wharf Pier, next to Tower Bridge.

Round-Trip Ticket

When booking, you’ll have the option to choose a round-trip ticket as well. This way, once the tour is over, you can board the next boat to do the reverse journey and return along the Thames.

Please note that, under normal conditions, the total duration of this round-trip route is longer, as it includes a wait at Tower Bridge where it is usually necessary to change boats. However, on the last 2 departures of the day, this boat change is not necessary, so the return trip is more direct and the total journey takes between 50 and 55 minutes. The exact frequency of these departures may vary depending on the time of year.
