Time Out says

City cruises operate on a hop-on, hop-off basis and run from Westminster, Waterloo, Tower and Greenwich Piers with commentary along the way. All the departure points are convenient for the city's various sights, with Greenwich Pier ideal for the Cutty Sark and the National Maritime Museum and the Royal Observatory. The River Red Rover ticket allows unlimited one-day cruising, there's also the Rail and River Rover ticket allowing unlimited one-day travel by river and on the DLR and single or return tickets are available for shorter journeys.

In addition, there are a variety of speciality cruises including Lunch and Tea cruises; the first, an hour-and-45-minute trip which includes a two-course lunch, the second a 1.5-hour afternoon meander down the Thames with tea, cakes, scones and sandwiches. Later on, the Riverlights and Sundowner cruises allow you to admire the city's skyline from the comfort of the river, while enjoying live music and complimentary sparkling wine and canapés.

Or, for something even more extravagant, try the Thames Jazz cruise, a three-hour trip down the river accompanied by a swing and latin jazz band. As well the entertainment, there's a three-course meal, and you'll be welcomed aboard with a free glass of fizz. And if that's not enough, try the Showboat cruise, a three-and-a-half hour voyage along the river, which includes a four-course dinner, live show tunes, a free half bottle of wine per passenger and –if you feel so inclined – dancing.

City Cruises says
City Cruises has a different view of London! Whether you step on board for a sightseeing cruise or even an afternoon tea, lunch or dinner, watch London pass you by with its beautiful riverside landmarks while you enjoy a glass of bubbly.

If you're looking for a day out with your family, you can see the breathtaking views and enjoy London on the open upper deck of one of our boats with a River Thames sightseeing cruise while you sip on a glass of bubbly and your kids listen to our live commentary. Our sightseeing cruises depart every 40 minutes, every day of the year.

If what you're looking for is more of a date with your partner or friends, you can enjoy one of our dining cruises. Unbeatable views, live entertainment and great food: one way of fitting in all that London has to offer. Big Ben, London Eye, Tower Bridge and the magical Thames feature on all our cruises. The London Dinner Cruise, our premier dinner cruise, goes, if tide and time allow, all the way to the Thames Barrier.

Last but not least, you can even hire a bot all for yourself and your guests! You can relax and enjoy your event with the confidence that the City Cruises professional team will manage your entire event for you, from food and drink, to entertainment and decoration.

Don't forget about Thamesjet, our speedboat ride! A full-on, adrenaline-fuelled 50 minute ride that takes in the sights from Westminster down to Tower Bridge.

It's time to explore the river like never before!
