River Boat Cruises & Trips

Discover river cruises and boat tours across the UK. A unique way to soak up the sights, river cruises make for a great day out or a thoughtful gift that goes the extra mile. From York to London, Dorset to Avon and beyond, we’ve got river and sea cruises, boat tours and more, all waiting to make somebody’s day extra-special. Experience the beauty of Oxford with an afternoon tea river cruise together, or mix it up with a Chauffeured Punting Tour of Cambridge. 

We’ve got a great collection of river cruises and tours in London. Cruise past London landmarks like Big Ben, the London Eye and the Houses of Parliament all while tucking into a two-course meal with a Thames Lunch Cruise for Two, or go all-out on the indulgence and mark a special occasion with a four-course meal and wine on a delightful three-hour dinner cruise. Feeling something different? Try a gin-tasting river cruise, sampling a range of delicious gins all whilst taking in picturesque London sights from the water.

For those who want to make the most out of sightseeing from every angle, we offer hop-on, hop-off river cruises. Alternatively, you can pair your Thames river cruise with afternoon tea and a trip up the View from The Shard, or a visit to Hampton Court Palace. Whatever you’re searching for and whatever your budget, there’s a trip out on the water to match. Discover yours here with Virgin Experience Days.
