London is Calling this Father’s Day

What kind of activities does your dad like to do for fun? Does he enjoy arts and culture? Is he happiest kicking back at a local pub, or getting in on the action at a stadium watching sports? Maybe he’s keen on discovering historic sites? No matter what he likes to do, a visit to London offers something for everyone. From Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, and Big Ben, to the National Gallery, the London Eye, and Westminster Abbey, attractions are all around you. And since Father’s Day is a special occasion, elevating your experience is the ideal way to make the most of your time together. Here you can visit a museum, explore a historic site, head to a sporting event, go on a pub crawl, or visit a gin distillery. You can also combine a few activities — such as sightseeing and dining — with a river cruise on the world-famous Thames. Nothing beats an adventure on the water that’s filled with all of the sights and sounds that make for a remarkable outing. With that in mind, City Cruises London offers several products you need to know more about.

Tea for Two on the River Thames this Father’s Day

The first product offers a quintessential London experience in a very unique way with the London Afternoon Tea Cruise on the River Thames. In a city synonymous with afternoon teatime, you can opt to enjoy this treasured ritual on land at one of London’s many tea rooms, or you can pair one of Britain’s most iconic traditions with a cruise on the River Thames surrounded by the city’s most iconic, photo-worthy attractions. As you sit back, relax, sip unlimited tea (or coffee), and savor delectable treats — including sandwiches, mini pastries, and scones clotted with cream and jam — you’ll be accompanied by 360-degree scenic riverside views of Big Ben, the London Eye, the Tower of London, and more from the open-air deck. As one of the most popular experiences offered by City Cruises London, the 90-minute Afternoon Tea Cruise also includes live or recorded commentary, making it the perfect combination of luxury and leisurely sightseeing, while indulging in a delicious treat. This is what memories are made of! Plus, you can opt to enhance the outing with premium seating at the front of the vessel, priority boarding, and a complimentary bottle of still or sparkling water as part of our VIP package, which you can select when booking.

Get Lost in London with the Ultimate Pub Crawl

Cruising London with Tunes, Canapés, and Dad

A great option for those who are looking to have a Father’s Day celebration away from the kids (yes, even the best of fathers deserve a break from time to time).

As an enticing alternative to heading to a pub, on this adults-only cruise, you’ll enjoy live music and canapés surrounded by those globally renowned London views. During this popular, two-hour outing, the night begins as you indulge in a glass of bubbly and sumptuous canapés while you sail off on the River Thames. Under exquisite skies, you and your dad, husband, grandfather, etc., will be taking in all of the city’s iconic landmarks — including the London Eye, “Illuminated River” by artist Leo Villareal, the Tower Bridge, and more — underneath the stars as soothing sounds performed by a live musician serve as a soundtrack for the evening.
