Arrive Early for Boarding
Check-in is usually 15 minutes before departure—arriving early ensures you get a preferred seat and time to board with a stroller or group.
Dress in Warm Layers
Even with covered decks, wind off the river cuts through clothing—bring a warm midlayer and a windproof outer shell.
Bring a Small Camera with Low-Light Capabilities
City lights at dusk are best captured with a camera that performs well in low light or a phone with night mode to avoid grainy shots.
Mind the Steps When Boarding
Historic boats can have narrow gangways—use handrails and watch for wet surfaces when getting on and off the ship.
Warm midlayer (fleece or down jacket)
Keeps you comfortable on the open-deck sections and during embarkation.
