Details of the Cruise

Once seated, the boat will glide along the River Thames heading towards Tower Bridge. During the 35-minute ride, you will be treated to magnificent views of London’s most iconic structures.
From your place, you’ll glimpse the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, the London Eye, St Paul’s Cathedral, and the historical Tower of London. Each leg of the journey offers perfect opportunities for photography! Accompanying this visual feast, you’ll enjoy live commentary from the captain in English or utilize an audio guide app that shares intriguing tales and interesting facts about landmarks such as The Shard and Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre.
As the trip concludes, you’ll gradually approach the stunning Tower Bridge—a Victorian bascule bridge, hailed as a remarkable feat of engineering, connecting both banks of the Thames.
Your adventure will wrap up at Butler’s Wharf Pier, located right next to Tower Bridge.
Round-Trip Option
When making your reservation, you’ll have the choice to select a round-trip ticket, allowing you to board the next vessel upon completion of the tour for the return journey along the Thames.
Keep in mind that, under standard conditions, the overall time for this round-trip is greater due to a stop at Tower Bridge where changing boats is usually required. Nonetheless, on the last two departures of the day, this boat switch is not needed, resulting in a more straightforward return trip that takes approximately 50 to 55 minutes. The precise schedule for these departures can vary with the seasons.
