Hydrospace Alpha
Catamaran Cruisers - City ruises
 
This Simplon Postcards page is one of a series on the excursion ships and ferries of the River Thames in London. This page covers the Hydrospace Alpha of Catamaran Cruisers.
 
Hydrospace Alpha was built for service in Paris in 1982 as the Regine. She was transferred to Catamaran Cruisers in 1994. She remained in the fleet until the termination of services on 30th September 2007. She was bought by City Cruises, along with Hydrospace Delta and Hydrospace Gamma. Hydrospace Alpha entered service with City Cruises in early 2008, still in blue livery.
