Waverley is the last sea-going paddle steamer in the world. Magnificently restored with towering funnels, timber decks, gleaming varnish and brass. See and hear the mighty engines - they will provide a whiff of nostalgia for some but are sure to impress all! There is no finer cruise on the Thames than this! The spectacle of Tower Bridge, built in 1894, opening especially for you is something that you will always remember. You will also enjoy the informative and fascinating commentary that tells stories of the heritage of London's river. Along the way you pass through the Thames Flood Barrier, see the Millennium Dome, the historic waterfront at Greenwich, and the dramatic buildings at Canary Wharf. Waverley Paddle Steamer do have catering facilities onboard serving a selection of hot and cold food. You can also take your own food and drink on board, but you are asked not to eat this in their café areas. The paddle steamer will leave Gravesend at 12.30pm, and return to Southend at 6.30pm
