London Cruise Ports
One aspect out of the control of lines is the fact that there are a number of ports in and around the city of London so there is no single London cruise terminal but the biggest issue is that many of the larger cruise companies, especially those based in America, call every port in the South of England London, including the likes of Dover, Portsmouth and Southampton 100’s of miles away.
The good news is that if you are booked on or are looking for cruises from London itself, there is a growing number of lines and ships entering the Thames with some even docking right in the heart of the city itself.
Cruise Lines
When it comes to cruises from London, it tends to be the case that the options are limited to either smaller vessels or luxury cruise ships with the larger, mass market ships stopping at Southampton.
The likes of Cruise and Maritime offering a more traditional experience on smaller, older ships whilst the likes of Viking offer a more luxurious, all-inclusive offering.
Popular English Cruise Ports
Some lucky visitors are fortunate to stop in the heart of the city at a temporary dock near Tower Bridge.
