City Cruises Plc

City Cruises plc, the award winning riverboat operator on the Thames, offers groups a high quality service and special rates on its sightseeing, entertainment, restaurant, conference and meeting and charter services. The sightseeing service, which operates between Westminster, Waterloo, Tower and Greenwich piers can be combined with pre-booked breakfasts, lunches and afternoon teas.

The Riverliners, which offer full access to the mobility impaired, offer refreshments on board. Groups can enjoy reserved seating on the lower enclosed deck with table service as they take in the superb views that London has to offer and listen to the multilingual commentary system which is available in five languages (French, German, Spanish, Chinese and Japanese) or the live commentary in English.

Fantastic group packages are also available exclusively for groups and Tour Operators. The sightseeing cruise can be combined with either a private group visit by a Yeoman Warder of the historic Tower of London with an option to include a tour of the magnificent Crown Jewels, a flight in the British Airways London Eye, entrance to the Saatchi Gallery in County Hall and a tour of the Cutty Sark. These options can also include lunch or afternoon tea onboard the Riverliner.

Two unique dining experiences on floating restaurants are also available; the London Showboat, a popular dinner cruise with cabaret and dancing and the R.S. Hispaniola, a ship permanently moored on the Embankment, offering good quality International cuisine in the restaurant and tapas at the bar. The R.S. Hispaniola also has a function room and the ship, which caters for between 10 and 480 people offers both indoor and outdoor facilities. Prices start from just £300 for private hire.
