History, Views, and People - Enjoy a Thames Cruise


When you are travelling to England, there is understandably much to see and many activities to partake. One way that can be beneficial in taking in more than an average tourist is to go on a Thames Cruise. Float on by locations that include London, Caversham, Whitechurch and Wallingford. Cruises on the Thames are available by way of renting your own charter, hiring a crew or sail on through a cruiseline.

Boats are available for private hire from several different companies up and down the Thames. If your party contains just a few people or a large group, you will be able to find a boat to fit your needs. Some of the benefits include packages for parties or individuals. Try an attractive lunch, a champagne buffet or dancing. Guides are available on some outings so that you may receive a bit of history on your Thames Cruise.

Within the London area you can combine a Thames Cruise with land trips to different destinations. You also have the opportunity to see much of London from the ship, as well. Avoid the traffic of the city while touring London, cruising by such mainstays as the London Eye, Parliament, the London and Tower Bridges, the Docklands and the Millennium Dome. While enjoying the sites, you also have the opportunity to enjoy a lunchtime, dinner or evening cruise down the river. A Thames dinner cruise is one of the most popular ways to experience the river and the city it winds through.

A lunchtime Thames Cruise varies with the company you cruise with. Generally you can partake a three course meal, travel for a couple hours to catch London as well as other destinations down the river and can be booked for as little as two people to as many as a few hundred. There is even an all-glass boat that you can sail on for totally unobstructed views. Sunday luncheon cruises can be taken with Jazz Music, wines and three course meals. For specific occasions there are disco cruises, dinner cruises, holiday parties, and ships ready for your private or corporate event. You can even try a Showboat Dinner and Cabaret Cruise!

A Thames Cruise does not need to be restricted to the London area either. Try some tours in the Tidal region of the river from Southend to Teddington. Sightseeing and pleasure cruises are available beyond the circular city cruises. Try the Upper Thames from Teddington to Oxford if you like. You can sail on passenger boats or steamers. Lastly, you can try your hand at a Canal Cruise. Scurry up the Thames and off the beaten path on the series of canals in the London area.

A few examples of the ships you may sail on through different companies are listed below.
The Edwardian from River Thames is elegant and setup for small functions. This ship has a paneled interior, bar and viewing area in Edwardian style décor.

The Golden Salamander, also from River Thames, is more of a party boat. It has a flexible setup for any occasion and glass windows on all levels for easy river viewing. Princess Marina sails with Thames Rivercruise and has been sailing since the 1920s and lived through its defense of coast during WWII and offers elegant interiors for fun sailing.

Whatever your reason for visiting England, a Thames Cruise should not be missed. Take in the sights, smells and everyday living of the people that surround you. Learn more about the region, party in the region or just sit back and watch. The Thames is awaiting your arrival!
