A woderful Moment With City Cruises

City Cruises is a public limited company that operates scheduled public sightseeing cruises on the River Thames in London, serving Westminster, London Eye, Tower and Greenwich piers every day (except 25 December) throughout the year. City Cruises owns the London Showboat brand, under which it operates an evening dinner, cabaret and dance cruise from Westminster Pier throughout the year, and also owns and operates the Restaurant Ship Hispaniola, which is permanently-moored alongside Victoria Embankment close to Embankment Underground station in central London.
City Cruises Plc was incorporated in 1986. The current chairman is Gary Beckwith who is also the majority shareholder. In the late 1980s the company acquired former Gosport Ferry boats Vita and Ferry Queen, since sold. In 1990 it also acquired many small ex- Thompson Launches boats. Breaking with a river tradition the boats were painted red during the 1990s this was changed to the current red and white livery with the advent of the RiverLiners. In 2002 City Cruises acquired sole ownership of The Yard Arm Club Limited, a private limited company incorporated in 1962, which owns and operates the Restaurant Ship Hispaniola permanently-moored alongside Victoria Embankment in central London.
If you targeting fancy a spot of riverside sightseeing an affordable and recommended option is the City Cruise trip that runs regularly between Westminster Pier to Greenwich Pier. just sit tight and stay on for the whole 2.5 hour round trip which takes in The Houses of Parliament, London Eye, the South Bank, the Globe Theatre, St Paul's, HMS Belfast, Tower Bridge, Canary Wharf and the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich.
While navigating around such a big city can often be confusing. Whatever having with your budget, there is a mode of transport to suit your needs. Explore London in a traditional Black Cab or a taxi, see the sights while cruising on a boat along the river or unlock the mysteries of the Underground.
Normally entry fare of City Cruises is £13.50 and normally entry fare for child is £6.50. You can buy “London Pass” and visit 71 Attractions in London instead of buying tickets at each attraction. It can save your time and energy.
