London River Cruises

The River Thames majestically weaves its way through the heart of our capital past palaces, cathedrals, parks and heaps of fantastic sights. Awash with history, it has long been one of London's most colourful attractions. It's a beautiful river, commanding some of the best views in London. Hidden behind every bend, is a cultural treat or architectural triumph. There are a number of ways to navigate the river from sightseeing trips to sophisticated dinner cruises. Whichever one you choose, you'll be spoilt with the magnificent, vast array of stunning London delights.

Sightseeing River Trips

Hop-on, Hop-off boat trips are one of the most relaxed ways to explore the riverbank. Navigate the Thames from Central London to maritime Greenwich and disembark at a number of piers on the way. You can jump on the next boat that comes past. It's flexible, fun and excellent value.

London RIB Voyages provide a thrilling and alternative perspective of the Thames as up to 12 passnegers are whisked up and down the river in a fast speed boat ride. Speed through the city at up to 35 knots as award-winning comedian guides provide definitive entertainment and information on the landmarks that you sail past.
