Shaken and Stirred Along the Thames - New Package from City Cruises and the London Helicopter Will Bring Out the Bond in Anyone

City Cruises

As the new Bond movie Spectre is set to hit the big screens, viewers may feel the urge for some adrenaline-fueled experiences of their own. Thanks to two of London's most thrilling attractions joining forces, the 'Shaken and Stirred in London package' has just been launched and a day as Bond is now possible. Anyone can don a tuxedo and enjoy London's best sights as 007 does, from the skies and from the Thames.

City Cruises has teamed up with The London Helicopter to offer Londoner's and visitors alike a little bit of life in the fast lane. Those with a head for heights will be blown away by a breath-taking flight along the river, travelling from West to East and spying the locations of Spectre and Skyfall's best scenes including The Houses of Parliament, Trafalgar Square and even taking a peek at MI6's Vauxhall Headquarters, which was blown up in the last Bond movie.

Before thrill-seekers have time to catch their breath, the mission continues with a chase along the Thames on City Cruises' ThamesJet jet boat. Passengers will have to hold on tight as the military grade boats put them through their paces with a high-speed aquabatic ride set to get pulses racing. Passing under ten of the capital's great bridges including Tower Bridge, where Daniel Craig was spotted filming earlier this year, there's no doubt they'll be left shaken and stirred at the end of the 50 minute ride.

Back on dry land, 007 fans may want to take a moment to readjust their tuxes and hair before enjoying a glamourous evening on board Hispaniola, City Cruises' floating Restaurant Ship. Bond fans can stay under the radar on this hidden gem as they enjoy a Martini and three-course meal; without a Spectre of a doubt, a fitting end to a Bond-tastic day.

Prices for the 'Shaken and Stirred in London Package' start from £272 pp and £258 for children ages 9 - 15. The price includes 18 minute “London Sights” helicopter flight over London, 50 minute Thames Rush experience, and three course set menu at RS Hispaniola with Martini (soft drink alternative).
