River Thames sightseeing cruise

There’s something special about seeing London from the Thames. As local guide Tom puts it, “The river is where London’s story began. Every bridge, tower and skyline view tells a new chapter.” You’ll glide through the heart of the capital on this relaxed sightseeing cruise and watch some of the city’s most iconic buildings come into view around every bend. From the striking silhouette of the Houses of Parliament to the twin pillars of Tower Bridge and the grand dome of St Paul’s Cathedral, this is your front-row seat to the sights that have shaped London over the centuries.

As you cruise along the water, you'll pass a roll call of world-famous landmarks while listening to onboard commentary packed with stories, local insights and fascinating facts. Grab a spot on the open-air top deck, settle in and soak up a perspective of the city that many visitors miss. This is sightseeing without the crowds, traffic or rushing from one attraction to the next. Instead, London reveals itself at an easy-going pace, with every stretch of the river bringing a fresh photo opportunity.

On this classic 90-minute sightseeing cruise, drinks are available to buy from the bar on board, making it easy to raise a glass as London's skyline drifts by. Whether it’s your first visit to the capital or your hundredth, seeing the city from the river offers a fresh perspective with memorable moments and some of the best views in town.
