London Weekend Break

Thames river boat cruises

One way to catch a look at a number of London’s attractions, from a distance at least, is to take a river boat cruise down the Thames.

A selection of companies offer this novel way of exploring the city and you can do so without ever getting off your seat and whilst having a lunch or dinner at the same time.

There are different options available depending upon the kind of sightseeing trip that you are after. Cruise durations range from less than thirty minutes to almost three hours and you can spend all your time on the boat, or hop on and off at various disembarking points.

Prices also vary based on the package that you select and most companies running these services offer different ticket colours for different trip types. Some cruises even include a show.

Family tickets start at approximately twenty five pounds, but you can check the links below for more up to date ticket prices and current special offers.

Embarking points vary and any Thames located tube station, including the Embankment, will probably be near a hop on or hop off spot.
