Thames Cruise Routes

Topsail’s events begin at your choice of London pier, cruising east as far as the Thames estuary and aboard our motor vessels west as far as Putney. Our Thames Sailing Barges, Tall Ships and the Dixie Queen cannot go any further west than London Bridge as they cannot fit beneath it due to their height. Guests aboard these vessels have the remarkable opportunity of Tower Bridge opening just for you as the ship cruises beneath it – your event literally stopping the traffic!

Whichever direction your event takes you, the vessel will cruise past a fantastic and varied array of beautiful historic and contemporary landmarks:
