Une visite de Londres ne serait pas complète sans une croisière sur la Tamise. La compagnie Thames River Sightseeing propose des croisières régulières au départ de cinq embarcadères : Westminster Pier, Embankment Pier, Festival Pier, Bankside Pier et Butler’s Wharf Pier (près du Tower Bridge) et la jetée de Greenwich. Thames River Sightseeing opère 361 jours par an avec une flotte de navires tout temps avec des ponts ouverts spacieux parfaits pour les mois d'été et des salons chauffés avec des fenêtres panoramiques pour les mois les plus froids. Les navires vont des bateaux à passagers plus traditionnels sur la Tamise (London Rose) à des navires plus modernes spécialement construits pour la Tamise (Thomas Doggett).
Passengers can embark at Westminster Pier, Embankment Pier, Festival Pier, Bankside Pier or Greenwich & take advantage of a range of ticketing options. Single tickets are suited for day trippers or passengers travelling in or out of London & return tickets allow passengers to disembark & explore before joining a return sailing later the same day. A 2 Day River Pass is the perfect option for anyone visiting London over multiple days. A River Pass allows unlimited travel on our services.
Thames River Sightseeing propose également d'excellents tarifs de groupe et des réductions, parfaits pour les familles, les agences de voyages ou les professionnels du tourisme.
