What are the Best Sights to See on a Thames River Boat Cruise?
Introduction
Chartering a London Party Boat and cruising the river Thames is an ideal way to get a good view of many famous London sights. The boats provide unbeatable photo opportunities as they glide past the most famous sites of London illuminated in all their glory.
The sights you have the opportunity to see will depend on the route of your Thames cruise. There are so many famous and historical sights on the Thames which you are able to gain a clear view of whilst onboard a Luxury Private Riverboat Charter.
The Highlights of the Thames
One of the most spectacular views gained from a Thames River boat cruise is the Palace of Westminster. Her historical and political routes make her a top tourist attraction and her stunning structural design to the side of Big Ben creates a perfect picture opportunity. Just across the river is the BA London Eye, a more modern yet similarly stunning structure. Being the World’s tallest observation wheel at 135 metres high she has a status that can be compared to Tower Bridge, Big Ben and the Tower of London.
When cruising west of the city (upstream) past Chelsea Harbour and the Albert Bridge you will notice the flavour becomes quieter with more greenery. The Albert Bridge adds great variety to the London river scene and at night the elegant floodlit suspension bridge is beautifully reflected in the tranquil water below.
When cruising east (downstream), you will experience a very different landscape of converted warehouses and famous landmarks. Tower Bridge has stood over the River Thames since 1894 and is one of the finest, most recognisable bridges in the World. The battleship H.M.S. Belfast can be seen metres away from Tower Bridge with the Tower of London standing opposite. You are spoilt for choice in this particular area of the Thames. The H.M.S. Belfast served throughout the Second World War, playing a leading part in the destruction of the battle cruiser Scharnhorst whilst the Tower of London is the site of renown political intrigue and the repository of the Crown Jewels.
The Cutty Sark and the renamed Millennium Dome, The O2, can be found further down the river (east) towards the Thames Barrier. The Thames actually circles over half the dome so you get a really good feel for the scale of the structure with Canary Wharf and the City behind you.
Private boat cruises can take in a route of choice, but within a four hour private Thames boat charter you can usually cover almost all the sights mentioned in this article.
About the Author
Conclusion
A trip on a luxury private Thames boat in London is as much about the views and sights of the city as the boat, hospitality and catering. You simply cannot get this variety of London’s most dramatic landmarks with any other means whilst sipping on champagne surrounded by friends, family or colleagues.
Boat to handle shallow river and Lake Michigan?
I am looking to buy a boat that I can take from a new dock on an inland river from Lake Michigan. At some points, the river goes below 2 feet deep, so I have been told to buy a jet boat (Yamaha or SeaDoo). However, I occasionally would like to go out onto Lake Michigan for short trips closer to shore and was told that jet boats cannot really handle the waves of Lake Michigan. What can I do? Thanks!
A jon boat. Like the ones in Alaska. They have a flat bottom. They have them everywhere there cause of the water depth difference. We used them all the time and loved it.
