Cruise from water to ice this winter

3rd October 2011 Print
City Cruises

Enjoy the great sights along the River Thames with City Cruises, as you make your way to the outdoor skating rinks, for some winter fun with friends, family or colleagues.  

A frequent sightseeing service operates between the four major destination piers on the River Thames (Westminster, London Eye, Tower and Greenwich), offering a novel way of travelling to three of the ice rinks that will be open this winter.

Passengers can alight at Westminster Pier for Somerset House Ice Rink, which is located in the romantic 18th century courtyard. London Eye Pier will drop you right on the doorstep of the EDF Energy London Eye Ice Rink. Finally Tower Pier is the stop of choice for the Tower of London Ice Rink, which is situated in the moat beneath the grand outer wall of Her Majesty's Fortress, on the banks of the River Thames.

Travelling in comfort to the skating rinks is possible onboard modern boats with panoramic windows and open deck areas, which offer access to the mobility impaired. Light refreshments and bar services are available onboard and these can be enjoyed whilst discovering the sights of London along the Thames.

Alternatively, the Restaurant Ship Hispaniola, located on Victoria Embankment opposite the EDF Energy London Eye, provides a quiet haven where people can enjoy a special Christmas Champagne Afternoon Tea, after the ice skating.
