River Cruise......Along the Thames?

When you think River Cruise, normally The Nile, The Danube or even The Seine spring to mind, but the River Thames? Maybe not. It’s not very often the Olympics come to town so next year, why not try something different? If you’re looking for somewhere to stay during the 2012 celebrations and are not sure where to go, then look no further? Azamara Cruises could be sailing both its ships, the Quest and the Journey, into London in July next year.


Although  the itineraries are not yet confirmed, it certainly sounds a little better than your local Travelodge or Premier Inn doesn’t it?

As well as Azamara, 6 star line Silversea will have Silver Cloud, berthed alongside HMS Belfast at Tower Bridge, and the Silver Whisper at Greenwich. So unless the Port of London Authority makes new berths available, Azamara may have to tie up downstream in the London Cruise Terminal of Tilbury. Not great news if your after a picturesque view, but staying on a cruise ship on the Thames will be a very unique experience.

London is not the only venue for Olympic competition, so what next? Maybe a week trip on a Narrow boat along the canal’s of Birmingham or a voyage on a Yacht to the Isle of Wight from Weymouth Bay? Both not great suggestions, so if you can think of any that are better let me know! Until then if you are interested in the above,  let me know so I can tell you more. As at the moment the Silver Sea ships are filling up fast!
