Porcupine Tree is one place to start. They're compared to Floyd quite often.

Eloy were quite similar to Floyd as well, especially with their later 70s albums. Camel also have a bit of Floyd influence.

I'd also recommend Gong and Ozric Tentacles, they don't sound like Floyd but they specialize in groovy psychedelic prog so if you like Floyd you might like them.

Here's some recommendations.

Porcupine Tree: Lightbulb Sun, In Absentia, Fear of a Blank Planet
Eloy: Ocean, Silent Cries and Mighty Echoes
Camel: Mirage, Snow Goose, Moonmadness
Gong: Flying Teapot, Angel's Egg, You
Ozric Tentacles: Erpland, Strangeitude, Jurassic Shift
