The London Eye River Cruise

About The London Eye River Cruise

The London Eye River Cruise departs from the pier below the London Eye and is an award-winning 40-minute sightseeing cruise on the River Thames. It offers views of central London from the water, with expert guides bringing the city’s riverside landmarks to life with commentary.

The cruise passes places including the Houses of Parliament and Tower Bridge, and the ticket includes a souvenir guide map available in seven languages plus access to The London Eye 4D experience. Audio commentaries are also available on a first come, first served basis in French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, Russian, Japanese and Mandarin.

The cruise is circular and does not stop en route, so boarding and disembarking are at The London Eye pier only. Covered and sun deck seating makes it suitable in all weathers.

Key facts: 40-minute circular cruise; timed entry applies and the exact admission time is confirmed at checkout and on the voucher; the price does not include a flight on The London Eye.
