Lower Thames and Medway Passenger Boat Company was a river boat company which provided cruises on the River Thames in Gravesend and London, UK. Bateaux London cruises operate on the Thames under licence from London River Services, part of Transport for London.

Services

The company provided cruises on the River Thames. Princess Pocahontas cruises begin at Gravesend and head west past Tilbury Docks, under the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge at Dartford and through the Thames Barrier, calling at Greenwich Pier. Passengers may remain on board for an optional "stay-aboard" cruise along the Thames, which returns to Greenwich.

Vessels

The company owns a 110-foot (34 m)-long, double-decker leisure boat, MV Princess Pocahontas with seating for 134 passengers. It is named after the Native American Princess Pocahontas who is buried at Gravesend. They also own the passenger boat Duchess M which used to operate the ferry service between Gravesend and Tilbury.

Dissolution

The company appointed administrators on 19 April 2018 and was dissolved on 11 February 2023.
