Default Travelcard discounts on river services

For a sightseeing trip, rather than a fast commute, City Cruises gives
one-third discount when you show a valid Travelcard or Oyster with a
Tcard loaded. But this offer doesn't include Oyster cards which are
only loaded with PAYG.

From Westminster, Waterloo [London Eye], Tower and Greenwich piers -
but the discount tickets can't be pre-booked.

Also worth noting if you take the big RiverLiners - which operate to
Greenwich - the open top deck means you can enjoy the light and sky
which is an essential part of the river view. And you've got all-round
visibility - great for for photos - and since these are large
displacement vessels operating at max 12knots they are nice and stable.

If you're coming in to central London on the train, you can also get a
'twofer' - 2 for 1 all-day River Red Rover {£13] - download the voucher
from http://www.daysoutguide.co.uk/city-cruises.

Since this is valid from stations in London as well as those further
afield it could be a better bet depending on party size. And yes, the
offer is valid with a Tcard issued by a train operator, as long as you
present the voucher.

HTH - sorry if this reads like an ad, I just love the river so much I
want everyone to enjoy it.

I see that Thames Clippers are offering discounts to travelcard holders -
does the travelcard in question have to be valid in Z1? I have a Z456
Annual Travelcard - is that enough to get me a discount?

Thanks
