Thames by Private Luxury Launch: London's Skyline from the Water

Glide along the Thames aboard a private chartered launch — from Tower Bridge to Westminster and beyond — with a knowledgeable skipper narrating London's most iconic waterfront in complete privacy.

What to expect

Board at Tower Pier steps from the cruise terminal and settle into a beautifully fitted saloon or open deck. Your skipper narrates as St Paul's Cathedral, the Tate Modern, the Houses of Parliament, and the London Eye drift past. Champagne and canapés can be pre-arranged for a true luxury sailing. The 180-degree turn at Westminster Bridge is an unmissable photographic moment.

Good to know

Confirm departure pier matches your ship's berth — most London cruise calls use Tilbury or Greenwich; factor 45–60 min transfer. Book the private launch well in advance for summer dates. The 2-hour format easily fits a morning or afternoon port call.
