Thames Cruise from Westminster to Greenwich
Cruise from Westminster to Greenwich
Want to experience London from a different perspective? One of the best ways is from the water, and you can do so by booking a River Thames cruise between Westminster and Greenwich. Once on board, simply relax as you sail along the river, taking in the most important landmarks of the British capital.
With your one-way ticket, you'll depart from Westminster Pier. From the very first moment, the Houses of Parliament, the London Eye, St. Paul's Cathedral, HMS Belfast, and Tower Bridge will capture your attention. It will be an unforgettable journey through London!
During the 1-hour tour, you'll enjoy commentary from an English-speaking guide and recorded commentary, perfect for learning about the fascinating history behind each of the landmarks you'll see from the boat.
To make the cruise even more special, you can choose to sit in the indoor lounge or go up to the open-air upper deck. In the final stretch, you'll slowly reach Greenwich, one of London's most historic boroughs, where the Cutty Sark, the National Maritime Museum, and the Royal Observatory await. You can even take the classic photo with the Greenwich Meridian.
