2. 🥈 Runner-Up Thames Sightseeing Cruise (London Eye)
Summary
❓ Should I book river cruise tickets in advance? Is it worth it?
💡 Yes — It's worth reserving your ticket in advance to ensure your place on the ship, although you can purchase tickets in person.
The London Eye's boat tour is a fantastic choice for a leisurely Thames cruise.
Enjoy a live commentary that's as witty and cheeky as Thames River Sightseeing's, adding a delightful touch to your journey.
This tour also boasts an audio guide in 10 languages (Spanish, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Chinese, Traditional Chinese). Keep in mind, there's one device for every four seats on the top deck, and you'll need to bring your own earphones.
Cruise on a medium-sized double-decker boat with superb views from both decks. The bottom deck is spacious, but the top deck is the place to be, unless it rains.
The itinerary showcases iconic sights from Westminster Palace to Tower Bridge.
Overall, this tour offers a stellar sightseeing experience, with the only drawback being that it doesn't extend to Greenwich.

3. Also-Great Thames Sightseeing Cruise (London City Cruises)
.webp)
Summary
❓ Is buying food or drinks while on a river cruise in London possible?
💡 Food or drinks are not typically included on standard sightseeing cruises. However, you can purchase snacks and drinks at the ship's kitchen bar.
London City Cruises offers a sightseeing experience comparable to the leading cruises, featuring the same itinerary and similar double-decker boats.
They provide an audio guide app available in 13 languages: English, Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Vietnamese, and Spanish.
One major advantage is their hop-on-hop-off feature, which means you can use it as much as you want within a 24-hour period.
Starting from Waterloo London Eye Pier, you could cruise over to Tower Bridge, explore the area, and the next day head down to Greenwich and back. It's a great way to save some money.
One big cons is the metal seating on the top deck. It was uncomfortable and my back was hurting. The padded chairs on the lower deck were perfect though.
Heads up: they have a variety of ships, so make sure you get on the right one. Avoid the catamaran since it doesn't have a top deck.

4. Speedboat Cruise London (Thames Rockets)
.webp)
Summary
💡❓ Is it possible to reserve seats on Thames river cruises? Seats on virtually all river cruises are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
Thames Rockets is one of the leading speedboat companies in London, so naturally I had to test them.
If you're up for an adrenaline-packed adventure, London's speedboats are a must-try.
These sleek vessels zoom along the Thames at thrilling speeds of up to 30 knots (55 km/h), making them perfect for those who find traditional sightseeing cruises too sedate.
You'll stay (sort of) dry and very safe thanks to the waterproof jackets provided and metal guard rails to hold onto.
(Not that you'll ever be in danger of flying out of the boat, haha.)
Your journey starts from the London Eye Waterloo Pier, heading down to Greenwich before returning to the starting point. Along the way, you'll switch between leisurely cruising and heart-pounding speedboat mode. Their ride lasts a comfortable 50 minutes.
Before the Cruise
Waiting Area
- This cruise kicks off at the the London Eye Waterloo Pier, right next to the London Eye. The boarding area is shared with other companies and has an air-conditioned, weather-proof waiting area with vending machines. Thames Rockets is at the very end of the pier.

.webp)

- Once we crossed Tower Bridge, the skipper finally put the pedal to the metal! It was thrilling to speed along the Thames with the beautiful British cityscape all around us. This part lasts until Greenwich, with short breaks between the high-speed periods.
- This a fun activity especially for families and with friends.

Summary
Thames Ribs is another premier speedboat operator in London, offering an exhilarating way to experience the city's iconic river.
For those seeking a heart-racing adventure on the water, Thames Ribs delivers an unforgettable ride at impressise speeds, similar to Thames Rockets.
Again, safety is a top priority, with life jackets provided to keep you from meeting the Great Almighty before your time. Sturdy handrails offer additional peace of mind as you zoom along the river's twists and turns.
Depending on your chosen experience, your aquatic journey launches from either Embankment Pier or Tower Bridge Pier.
Thames Ribs offers two speedboat options: an extended 70-minute cruise which includes a visit to the Thames Barrier, or a condensed 40-minute ride for a quick but intense Thames adventure until Greenwich.
The tour alternates between calm cruising and pulse-pounding high-speed runs. During these faster segments, prepare for thrilling sideways maneuvers that amp up the excitement and give you a true taste of the boat's capabilities.
An engaging guide provides live commentary throughout the trip, sharing fascinating tidbits about London's riverside landmarks.
