Return Details

Returns to original departure point
Your luncheon cruise sets off from Tower Pier in central London at midday. Make your own way to the pier with plenty of time to board the boat and find your seat in the cozy, indoor saloon. Sit back and enjoy panoramic views of the city shoreline as your cruise begins.

Heading west from Tower Pier, first pass the formidable Tower of London, situated in the modern Square Mile, followed by The Shard—the 95-story pyramid dominates the South Bank skyline. Continue on to Shakespeare’s famous Globe Theatre, a historic active theater, and the enormous London Eye. Along the South Bank, witness the bustle of performers, locals, and meandering tourists. Your cruise loops at Westminster, where you get great views of the Houses of Parliament and the iconic Big Ben before turning around.

As you cruise, indulge in a sumptuous 2-course meal featuring an entree and dessert with coffee and tea. For an added treat, purchase wine, beer, or other non-alcoholic beverages from the onboard bar. After lunch, get some air on the outside deck as your river cruise returns to Tower Pier. Arrive with plenty of time to continue sightseeing (and walk off your hearty meal)!

Still waiting for our refund !!!
UnhappyCustomers
, Aug 2020
We’ve booked the Thames lunch cruise for 4 adults last Friday 7th August 2020 at 11:45 but the address Viador has sent to us on the booking confirmation was wrong. When we got there, the City cruises staff member told us to contact Viator because the address sent on the booking email confirmation wasn’t the right one and finally we’ve learnt that the Thames lunch cruise was cancelled but no one told us before!!!! So, since then, we’re trying to reach VIATOR by phone and email but no one answer. It has been more ten days now and we’re still haven’t heard from them since then. So We’re still waiting for our 136£ back but they don’t seem to be helpful to solve this issue.
