You'll be welcomed at Tower Bridge Quay and given protective clothing, a lifejacket and a full safety briefing. You'll take your place onboard, in an Ullman suspension seat. We'll head off down river at 35mph (56kph), blasting through historic Wapping, past Canary Wharf and the Cutty Sark at Greenwich.
We'll do a high speed turn at the O2 Arena and head back to Tower, all accompanied by great music. Then we'll slow down for a cruise up to Blackfriars and back with a tour guide.
