River passenger service City Cruises has launched a new website allowing Olympic ticket holders to book a journey to the Equestrian events held at Greenwich Park.

The company says it has worked with the Olympic Delivery Authority to design a service for the estimated 6,000 additional passengers looking to travel to the games by river.

The company says it has co-ordinated services with Thames River Services “for the duration of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games in order to provide spectators with a frequent and coordinated service.”

With journey times of approximately 75 minutes between Westminster and Greenwich piers passengers are being warned to allow plenty of time to reach their destination and check into Olympic venues.
