Disembark at Buckingham Palace to watch a centuries-old British ceremony that is an essential London experience.

Historic British traditions

The Changing of the Guard ceremony marks the official shift change of the Household Regiment - the King’s guards stationed at Buckingham Palace. Watch in awe as the New Guard marches in to assume responsibility for protecting the Palace.

After, you can upgrade your tickets and choose to go on a Thames River cruise, or enjoy afternoon tea at the Rubens, which overlooks Buckingham Palace.
