Sail into the New Year with Uber Boat by Thames Clippers!

Uber Boat by Thames Clippers brings a unique and quick way to travel, allowing you to explore the capital by river, whilst providing a fast and stress-free service, whether you’re a commuter or sightseer.

There is so much to see and do within the Royal Borough of Greenwich. At the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site you can take in the history and heritage with the stunning architecture of the Old Royal Naval College and the Royal Observatory, take a festive walk in Greenwich Park or stop at Greenwich Market for some retail therapy. You can then take a short trip with Uber Boat by Thames Clippers to Greenwich Peninsula (North Greenwich Pier) to see the modern landscape of this corner of Greenwich with the buzzing Design District, NOW Gallery, Icon Outlet at The O2 and so much more including a packed programme of festive events - you really are spoilt for choice!

With fast and reliable services to Greenwich, North Greenwich and Woolwich (from Embankment, Tower and Canary Wharf piers) and all the major London piers in between, getting to your destination has never been so easy, giving you plenty of time to explore while enjoying the amazing views along the way.

Santa Claus has swapped his sleigh for Uber Boat by Thames Clippers this year! But where is he heading? Did he mistake North Greenwich Pier for The North Pole? Or was he drawn to London's biggest chimneys at Battersea Power Station?

Hop on board on 17 December and meet Santa whilst enjoying London's iconic landmarks along the river. Santa will be sailing up and down the river between 12-5pm (on select sailings; see their website for details). You can board and disembark Sailing Santa services at any of the piers the service is scheduled to call at (including Greenwich and North Greenwich).

Glide across the Thames as you take a seat inside in the climate-controlled cabins or check out the views from the outside back-deck. The onboard café bar has a great selection. Feeling festive? To tempt you even more, Christmas treats are being served – including gingerbread biscuits, Christmas cake slices and mince pies, festive donuts, gingerbread lattes and Orange Gin Hot Chocolate – how could you resist?!

Or sail into 2023 on the river Thames with Uber Boat by Thames Clippers and experience London’s world-famous New Year’s Eve fireworks (presented by the Mayor of London) with an exclusive river Thames cruise offering you unparalleled views of London by night. Your New Year’s Eve fireworks experience starts from a number of piers, including North Greenwich.

Enjoy a welcome glass of wine when you board and a glass of Champagne at midnight. Delight in a delicious Gaucho snack box (vegetarian / vegan option available) as well as a wide range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and light snacks available for purchase at the onboard café bar.

With the new year approaching, it’s time to create new memories, and immerse yourself in new experiences. The River Roamer ticket is the ideal everyday choice if you want to travel from pier to pier across London for the best value for money (this can actually be the cheapest option to travel around London!). It is the ultimate hop-on, hop-off ticket, perfect from getting you from one experience to the next.

With an endless list of exciting events and spectacular sights that will leave you in awe, it’s time to get your friends and family together and start making your winter plans. Head to Greenwich and explore all there is to offer with Uber Boat by Thames Clippers.
