At the annual Group Travel Awards, sponsored by Group Travel Organiser Magazine, City Cruises won Best River Canal Boat Operator for the 3rd year in a row.
Our shortest trips between piers last about
20-30 minutes while the full round trip takes up to three
leisurely hours: or hop-on, hop-off all day with a River Red Rover™ ticket.
Alternatively, with our River Red Rover™ tickets you can hop on and off our boats at any and all of the piers served all day long and our super value Rail River Rover™ tickets include all-day travel on the Docklands Light Railway as well, giving you even more travel options.
Family tickets
With a Family River Red Rover or Family Rail River Rover, 2 adults plus up to three children (aged 5 - 16 years inclusive - under 5s travel free of charge) can travel on the same ticket for £23.50 and £27.00 respectively, potentially saving up to £11.50.

London's famous sites
Travelling the Thames
is a great way to visit these sites. Our River
Red Rover™ ticket means you can get on and off as much
as you like and our piers provide easy access to London's
most famous sites:
Westminster Pieris close to Westminster
Abbey, the Houses of
Parliament (with Big Ben), Horse Guards, Whitehall and the Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms
Waterloo Millennium Pier is next to the London Eye, County Hall (with the London Aquarium) and close to the world-renowned South
Bank arts complex (including the Royal Festival Hall)
Tower Pier is right next to the Tower
of London and Tower Bridge.
Greenwich Pier provides easy access to
the World Heritage Centre of Greenwich,
home of the famous tea clipper Cutty
Sark (currently undergoing restoration) , the
Old Royal Naval College (including, for Summer 2008 only, the Greenwich Wheel), the National Maritime Museum,
the Queen’s House,
the Old Royal Observatory
- and time itself. On Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays
Greenwich also has a traditional covered market.
RiverGuide™ is unique to City Cruises.
Available on our RiverLiners™, RiverGuide™ provides a running commentary between Westminster
and Greenwich, using GPS technology, in your choice
of six languages – English,
French, German, Mandarin, Japanese and Spanish.
So, with City Cruises, not only can
you see London’s famous sights but you can hear
all about them as well with, in some cases, a few anecdotes
to add local flavour.
