What to expect on a Thames cruise
A calm glide through London’s past and present — here’s a simple plan:
Start at Westminster: board with a warm welcome, settle upstairs on the open deck, and watch the skyline unfold — bridges, spires, and glass towers, with stories of kings, coffee houses, and daring engineers.
Continue toward the Tower and Greenwich: pass Shakespeare’s Globe and HMS Belfast, then finish at Greenwich for a riverside stroll, a visit to the Cutty Sark, and a gentle walk up to the Royal Observatory — the city sparkling behind you. 🌆
