River Thames Cruises: Duration and Options

The River Thames isn't suited for large cruise ships, but offers diverse boat trips:

• Short sightseeing cruises: 30–60 minutes, central London landmarks.
• Longer excursions: 2–4 hours upstream to Hampton Court or downstream to Greenwich/Thames Barrier.
• Evening/dinner cruises: 2–3 hours with meals.

Duration depends on route and operator; no multi-day cruises operate on the Thames.
