Everything you should know before you book
Thames cruises split into three different intents: sightseeing transport, evening skyline, and meal cruises. A basic sightseeing boat is best for landmarks, while lunch and dinner cruises trade flexibility for a calmer seated experience.
Pick the route before the boat. Westminster to Tower Bridge is the classic first-timer stretch. London Eye combos work well if you are already in the South Bank area, while evening cruises are strongest when you want lit bridges and a low-effort night plan.
