Step aboard a 40-min round-trip river cruise along the River Thames, complete with live commentary curated by Historic Royal Palaces.
Immerse yourself in over 1,000 years of London history as you cruise past the city’s most famous landmarks, from the Tower Bridge to the London Eye.
Enjoy entertaining commentary, with a twist of humour and character, written by one of the co-creators of BBC’s hit comedy Ghosts, making history fun and engaging.
Relax in the open-air deck, the covered outdoor area, or the climate-controlled indoor salon on London's first electric boat tour, with guaranteed seating and entry at your allotted time.
Make the most of your cruise with drinks from the onboard bar. Choose from a selection of soft drinks, wine, beer, and cocktails to sip as the cityscape unfolds.
