City Cruises UK operates a range of award-winning Sightseeing and Dining Cruises in London and York!
Our products offer a safe and inspiring way for youth and educational groups to explore two of Britain’s most historic cities.
In London, our sightseeing cruises on the River Thames operate daily 365 days a year between Greenwich, Tower (of London), and Westminster Piers, offering live commentary from our Captains, who are experts at bringing the city to life; as well as recorded commentary in a variety of languages that can be accessed through QR codes onboard. To further enhance the sightseeing experience, we provide educational materials and interactive activity books, helping children and youth groups explore, learn, and reinforce their knowledge of London’s history, geography, and culture while enjoying an unforgettable journey along the Thames.
Alongside our sightseeing cruises, we operate a varied programme of dining cruises in London, including Lunch, Afternoon Tea, and Dinner cruises. These experiences provide groups and individual travellers with a unique way to view London’s iconic skyline while enjoying great food, commentary, or live entertainment, depending on the cruise.
In York, we offer scenic sightseeing cruises along the River Ouse, featuring live commentary from our experienced local skippers who share stories about the city’s rich history and riverside landmarks. Cruises operate throughout the year and include seasonal experiences such as our Strawberries & Cream cruise in summer and Festive sightseeing cruises in December.
For those who want to take the helm themselves, we also operate a fleet of self-drive boats, offering a fun and interactive way for visitors to experience York’s waterways at their own pace.
With a strong commitment to safety, education, and memorable experiences, City Cruises is proud to support youth and educational travel, helping young visitors discover the stories of London and York in a truly engaging way.
