How to book without overpaying

Online prices are almost always equal to or cheaper than buying at the pier, and they guarantee you a spot — useful on weekends when sightseeing boats sell out by mid-afternoon. For dinner and private cruises, advance booking is not optional: kitchens plan portions around confirmed reservations.

If your budget is flexible, an early-evening sightseeing slot just before sunset gives you both daylight and the start of the illuminated skyline for the price of the cheapest ticket on the river.
