Seating tips

Most cruise boats have both indoor and outdoor seating with two-by-two seats.

For the best selfie spots, pick an outdoor seat for uninterrupted views and perfect photo sessions if you don't mind the somewhat harsh weather. However, it's a good idea to wear clothes that dry quickly if you fear you might get wet.

If you are picking an indoor seat, pick a window seat, especially if you are traveling solo, for a great view. Indoor seats are also great if you think it may rain but still want to go on a cruise. These indoor spaces are also heated and most cruise boats are equipped with a full-licensed bar.

Amazing value for money!

My mother isn’t the most mobile, so I was looking for a sightseeing cruise that didn’t require too much walking. This London river cruise lunch was perfect! We could sit back, relax, eat, and still managed to see all of London’s top sights. Plus the lunch was delicious. All in all, amazing value for money.

The Thames River Cruise Lunch was super educational

I expected we’d get some amazing views and a good lunch on this river cruise on the Thames, but what I did not expect is the audio commentary! While you’re looking at all this beautiful architecture, audio guides will tell you the city’s history and explain the buildings’ importance. I really learned a lot!
