London (Greenwich, Tower Bridge, Tilbury) Cruise Reviews

Maxine our tour guide did a great job and Canterbury was interesting ...

Took the Gravesend–Tilbury passenger ferry across the River Thames east of London. It is the last public crossing point before the Thames reaches the sea. We then walked throughout Gravesend taking in the local sights & enjoyed a great meal at the Three Daws pub before boarding the ferry back to the ship. ...

Like NYC, a world city of the first rank. Spent a couple extra days there and will, of course, be back. ...

It was a lovely, relaxing stay at The Kensington Hotel, where staff pleasantly looked after our every need. Having visited all the 'must-sees' previously, we were content to wander the neighborhoods on our own and thoroughly enjoyed a Twilight SOHO Tour by Eating Europe ...

We took in a play and great dinners. What a wonderful city. ...

We sailed up the Thames to the Tower Bridge in London, arriving around 9PM. As the bridge was lifted so the ship could sail under it to the dock, they began playing Rule Brittania by a philharmonic orchestra over the speakers. The shore was lined with people watching and listening to this glorious music and cheering. It was an experience I''ll never forget. The staff and crew were as excited ...
