Explore boat tours and parties on London’s River Thames

Make the most of London from the water. Whether you’re after a relaxed sightseeing cruise past Big Ben and Tower Bridge, a lively boat party with DJs and skyline views, or an adrenaline-filled speedboat ride, there’s an option for every traveler and schedule.

With easy boarding at central piers and mobile tickets, you can combine your cruise with iconic landmarks on the same day. Many experiences include live commentary or audio guides so you won’t miss the stories behind Westminster, the South Bank, St Katharine Docks, Greenwich, and more.

Discover the surroundings

Westminster & South Bank: Pair your cruise with a stroll by the Houses of Parliament, the London Eye, and the riverside promenades full of street performers and pop-up food stands.

Tower & City: From Tower Pier you’re steps away from Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, St Katharine Docks, and viewpoints like Sky Garden.

Greenwich: Disembark to see the Cutty Sark, the Royal Observatory and the lively market. It’s one of the most charming areas along the Thames.

Docklands & Canary Wharf: Modern architecture, roof gardens and waterside bars make this a great add-on before or after evening cruises or speedboat rides.

South Bank by night: Night cruises and boat parties reveal illuminated bridges and the city skyline—perfect for photos and celebration plans.
