About

Thames River Cruise was established in 1974 when it all started very simply with one small open launch operating from Caversham to Mapledurham.

Things have moved on considerably. All our vessels are of the finest standing on the Upper Thames and are constantly being updated to meet the most stringent of standards. Our staff and crew are trained not only to the exacting requirements of Boatmanship expected by the Marine Safety Agency, but also in customer care to ensure that we provide the highest level of service.

Take a River Thames cruise and choose a round trips from Thameside Promenande, Caversham on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays from Saturday 5th April until Sunday 28th September*. Trips will run daily during the Summer School Holidays from Monday 28th July -Friday 15th August and Tuesday 26th August - Friday 29th August.
