About City Cruises

City Cruises plc is the operator of passenger services on the River Thames, carrying in excess of 2 million passengers annually on extensive sightseeing, entertainment and charter services. Based at Cherry Garden Pier, a romantic-sounding location in south-east London that was once a part of London's huge commercial docks, they operate twelve passenger-carrying boats, along with a small fleet of support vessels and barges. City Cruises operates scheduled public sightseeing cruises on the River Thames in London, serving Westminster, London Eye, Tower and Greenwich piers every day (except 25 December) throughout the year. It operates the services mainly using purpose-built wheelchair-accessible 'RiverLiner' vessels, which have a large open top deck and enclosed lower saloon with panoramic windows and bars, backed up by some ex-Paris single-deck conservatory-style sightseeing boats. The company also owns a number of other boats with which it provides a variety of private charter and waterage services on the River Thames. City Cruises owns and operates the Restaurant Ship Hispaniola, which is permanently moored alongside Victoria Embankment close to Embankment Underground station in central London. The Solent Scene, Dorset's premier vessel, sails from Poole Quay during the winter, connecting with Swanage in the spring and summer.
