Before the Cruise
Waiting Area
- This cruise kicks off at the the Embankment Pier (not to be confused with Westminster Pier!). The boarding area is shared with other companies and has an air-conditioned, weather-proof waiting area with vending machines.
Safety
- Inflatable life jackets are provided in case of an emergency. Metal safety handles are located at every seat that you can hold onto, unless you want to go for a swim in the Thames.
Getting There
- 🗺️ Meeting point: Embankment Pier, WC2N 6NU, London WC2N 6PA, United Kingdom
During The Cruise
The Ship
- Thames Ribs' speedboat has a 12-person capacity with comfortable seats equipped with safety handles. Essentially, it is identical to the speedboat offered by Thames Rockets but with a different look and feel.
Cruise Itinerary
- Starting at Embankment Pier, this cruise takes passengers down to the Thames Barrier and back.
Live Commentary by Skipper
- This speedboat cruise offers a live English commentary in a typically cheeky, English humor style, making the tour both entertaining and informative. I didn't notice much difference between this and previous speedboat I tested.
Slow vs. Speedy Parts
- Similarly as before, the initial part of the cruise proceeds at an enjoyable, leisurely pace, accompanied by live guided commentary, until the boat passes the Tower Bridge. Our guide provided commentary all through the trip when we were passing by some interesting sight, not just in the beginning.
- Like with the Thames Rockets, things got exciting after Tower Bridge. The fast ride, with quick breaks, lasted until the Thames Barrier (a unique sight!) vs. turning around at Greenwich.
- It's a fun way to see London, great for friends and families who like a bit of adventure with their sightseeing.
