London Eye + Thames River Cruise
Two of London's best vantage points in one ticket — a 30-minute rotation on the Eye and a 40-minute sightseeing cruise along the river that defines the city.
London from sky and water.
This combination ticket pairs your London Eye rotation with a 40-minute sightseeing cruise along the Thames. The cruise departs from the pier directly beside the Eye, so there's no extra travel between experiences.
From the water, you'll glide past the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, under the bridges, around the South Bank and on toward the Tower of London and Tower Bridge before returning. Live commentary points out the landmarks along the route.
The cruise runs aboard the Silver Bonito, a 250-passenger vessel — one of the few fully accessible boats on the Thames, with step-free access to both decks. Audio commentary is available in French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, Russian, Japanese and Mandarin alongside the live English narration.
It's the best-value way to do two of London's most photographed activities in a single afternoon.
We may earn a commission at no cost to you.
Cruise first, ride second.
Most guests recommend doing the cruise first, then the Eye. The river commentary primes you to recognise everything you'll then see from above.
Allow 2½ hours total for the combined experience, including a short wait at each boarding.
Tickets are flexible — your Eye slot is timed, but the cruise can typically be used on any departure during the day.
