Introduction
Crown River Cruises offers luxurious cruises supplying meals and entertainment and also provides circular cruises for sightseeing. Our vessels are frequently used to host functions such as wedding receptions, birthdays, business parties or any other special occasions whereby food, entertainment and a bar can be provided.
History
We started as a small, family run charter based company, established in 1986, which began with one vessel and later purchased the Sarpedon, Salient, Suerita, Sapele and Sarah Kathleen. In 1992 we began scheduled services to and from Westminster to the Tower Bridge. This became very successful and led to the expansion of Crown River Cruises, as in 2002 we introduced a new vessel, The Sarpedon.
Events
The Salient has been of service to the London mayor, Ken Livingstone, along with many celebrities and is a prestigious part of Crown River Cruises' history. We are also very privileged to carry the Oxford boat race supports to the race venue every year.
Our second from largest vessel to the flagship vessel, The Salient, is The Suerita which has been used regularly by Capital FM to broadcast the daily breakfast show. The Sarah Kathleen is a single deck vessel, which mainly functions for touring and has also been used for television filming due to its suitably large deck.
Location
Our office is situated at The Old Pump House on Blackfriars Pier, which is a reflective and idyllic location in a picturesque part of London, enabling satisfying views of famous landmarks such as the Houses of Parliament and the Millennium wheel.
