London (Greenwich)

Eight miles downstream from central London, Greenwich feels more like a refined seaside town than a typical cruise stop, yet it commands a global stage in maritime history. What sets London (Greenwich) apart is the chance to arrive by water and plunge straight into living landmarks that fuse royal grandeur with naval grit: the Queen’s House, the Old Royal Naval College, the National Maritime Museum, and the Royal Observatory sit in easy reach, while the Greenwich Meridian lets you stand with one foot in each hemisphere. Signature experiences balance culture and coastline—from stepping aboard the Cutty Sark, the famed 19th‑century tea clipper, to the planetarium shows and time‑tales at the Royal Observatory, all framed by sweeping views of the Thames and London’s skyline. Greenwich Park’s rolling greens, the deer in residence, and elegant riverside promenades extend the day beyond the dockside. The port’s outgoing fleet is versatile, welcoming intimate rivercraft and larger sightseeing vessels with open decks and comfortable onboard spaces designed for frontline city vistas, informative commentary, and welcoming lounges. Onboard services emphasize hospitality and ease—skilled guides, multilingual commentary, refined dining options, and smooth embarkation and disembarkation—so passengers depart with a fuller sense of London’s global maritime legacy and a river‑born memory that lasts long after the voyage ends.
