Come Onboard, Relax and Enjoy the River
When you come aboard one of our Thames River Cruise Boats, you leave behind the hustle of life. Soak up the sunshine, the sounds and the sights that the Thames has to offer. When you hire one of our boats you really do have the power to relax. Choose to cruise upstream past the historic Hampton Court or Runnymede; alternatively you could go downstream towards the market town of Kingston-upon-Thames. Indulge in all the natural beauty that the river has to offer. The River Thames & surrounding areas are home to some of the most historical heritages you will find. The Thames’ banks are home to some of the oldest pubs in London, with some stretching back as far as 500+ years ago.
The River Thames is one of the most idyllic rivers in Europe. Its banks are home to scenic countryside, prospering towns & villages, famous landmarks, as well as hundreds of pubs and restaurants dotted along the way. When you hire one of our cruisers you get to enjoy the sights and sounds of the river at a relaxed own pace, you can pass under Tower Bridge or explore the famous Thames Barriers.
