Hold the Socks and Necktie; Treat Your Dad to a Day Out for Less in the Capital This Father's Day

Uber Boat by Thames Clippers

Spoil the 'old man' this Father's Day with a trip to Greenwich, reduced entry to top attractions and the chance to make like James Bond and travel in style along the River Thames with MBNA Thames Clippers (www.thamesclippers.com).

MBNA Thames Clippers is offering return travel to Greenwich onboard one of its 13 catamarans, plus entrance to the Cutty Sark and the Royal Observatory Greenwich.

Take in the sights of London from the river onboard the fastest and most frequent fleet on the river. Once in Greenwich, hop over to the Cutty Sark to explore Britain's maritime past. After getting your culture fix, head to the Royal Observatory Greenwich for hours of photo opportunities as you stand astride two hemispheres at the home of Greenwich Mean Time and the world's Prime Meridian.

The MBNA Thames Clippers, Cutty Sark and Royal Observatory Greenwich combination tickets start from £23.52 for an adult, £11.20 for a child or £60.00 for a family of four and must be purchased online in advance. Saving 20% compared to buying the tickets separately.

MBNA Thames Clippers offers London's commuters and sightseers a comfortable and relaxed way to get from A to B and to take in the capital. For further details and to purchase tickets visit www.thamesclippers.com.

About MBNA Thames Clippers:

MBNA Thames Clippers is the leading River Bus service on the River Thames running a 20 minute frequency between key London piers including North Greenwich for The O2, Greenwich, Canary Wharf, Tower, London Bridge, Embankment and London Eye for Waterloo, as well as several residential piers.

In April 2013 the company won the contract to run a River Bus service from Putney to Blackfriars which allows the boats to now additionally stop at Putney, Wandsworth Riverside, Chelsea Harbour and Cadogan Pier, a total of 19 piers across the capital.

Co-founded in 1999 by Sean Collins (CEO) and Alan Woods (former Chairman), the company began with one boat servicing 80 passengers a day between Greenland and Savoy piers. Now 16 years on numbers have significantly risen to over 3.8 million passengers in 2014. 

In 2006 AEG, owners and operators of The O2, acquired the majority stake in the company and since then the fleet has substantially grown to 13 vessels. River Bus Express for The O2 is an additional fast direct service between London Eye, London Bridge and Canary Wharf to The O2 at North Greenwich on arena event nights.
