Frequently Asked Questions

  • What happens on a river cruise experience day?

    Most river cruises combine sightseeing with dining or refreshments. Depending on your chosen package, you might enjoy a traditional afternoon tea, a three-course dinner, or simply a glass of wine while gliding past iconic landmarks. Some experiences, like luxury yacht stays, even include overnight accommodation and breakfast.

  • Is there a dress code for river boat cruises?

    Smart casual attire is generally recommended for most river cruises. While daytime sightseeing tours are often relaxed, evening dinner cruises or luxury yacht experiences typically require smarter dress, such as collared shirts or dresses. It is always wise to bring layers, as it can be breezier on the open deck.

  • Are river cruises good gifts for couples?

    River cruises are exceptionally popular as romantic gifts for couples. The combination of scenic water views, intimate dining options, and a slower pace makes them ideal for anniversaries or date nights. Options ranging from sunset voyages to overnight yacht stays offer a memorable way to celebrate special occasions together.

  • How long does a typical river cruise last?

    Standard sightseeing cruises usually last between one and three hours. This duration often depends on whether a meal is included, such as lunch or dinner service. For a more immersive experience, stationary luxury yacht packages can extend to an overnight stay, allowing you to enjoy the waterway atmosphere until the following morning.

  • Where can I go on a river cruise in the UK?

    River cruises operate on major waterways across the UK. While the River Thames in London is a prime location for sightseeing and luxury yacht hotels, you can also find boat trips along coastal areas and other inland rivers. Availability is generally year-round, though some operators may have reduced schedules in winter.
