les37b Posted November 26, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 26, 2016 (edited) Incredibly, Silversea cruises into the heart of London is on the increase - great news for me as my office window has great views of the ships when docked at Tower Bridge. In 2017, Silver Wind has 6 visits and Silver Cloud 1 visit. In 2018, Silver Wind has 5 visits, Silver Cloud Expedition 1 visit and Silver Spirit is coming to Greenwich 2 times. I'm spoilt for choice for Lunch visits in the next 2 years! :D Hopefully this info is of use for anyone else popping on for lunch or watching her berthed or coming under Tower Bridge - always such a wonderful experience. And take a trip up the sky garden for a wonderful view from above 2017 Silver Cloud Tower Bridge arr Friday 9 June 2017 (15.45) dep Sunday 11 June 2017 (14.30) Silver Wind Tower Bridge arr Sunday 11 June 2017 (16.45) dep Tuesday 13 June 2017 (TBA) Tower Bridge arr Thursday 29 June 2017 (07.30) dep Friday 30 June 2017 (18.00) Tower Bridge arr Thursday 13 July 2017(18.15) dep Friday 14 July 2017 (19.00) Tower Bridge arr Monday 31 July2017 (09.00) dep Tuesday 1 August 2017 (07.30) Tower Bridge arr Thursday 24 August 2017 (05.15) dep Friday 25 August 2017 (05.15) Tower Bridge arr Monday 17 September 2017 (21.00) dep Wednesday 19 September 2017 (08.30) 2018 Silver Spirit Greenwich arr Saturday 2 June 2018 (03.30 pm) dep Monday 4 June 2018 (04.30 am) Greenwich arr Monday 10 September 2018 (01.30 am) dep Tuesday 11 September 2018 (02.30 am) Silver Cloud Expedition Tower Bridge arr Tuesday 8 May 2018 (09.00) dep Thursday 10 May 2018 (08.45) Silver Wind Tower Bridge arr Friday 22 June 2018 (23.00) dep Saturday 23 June 2018 (22.00) Tower Bridge arr Monday 16 July 2018 (18.00) dep Tuesday 17 July (19.00) Tower Bridge arr Wednesday 1 August 2018 (06.30) dep Thursday 2 August 2018 (19.00) Tower Bridge arr Tuesday 14 August 2018 (18.00) dep Thursday 16 August 2018 (05.00) Tower Bridge arr Monday 17 September 2018 (21.00) dep Wednesday 19 September 2018 (08.30) .

Thanks for the heads up. Why not go one better and book lunch on the Wind - and get the tender over and enjoy the food and views (@$60) If not - make sure you make a booking for the sky garden to enjoy great views of the ship below and of London - for free. (No point in paying £38 to go up the Shard - Sky Garden is free - but you need to pre book - usually 3 weeks before.... and dates are released each Monday morning.

easyboy Posted November 27, 2016 #4 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Thank you for those options. We usually stay, as I guess we will again, at the Premier Inn London Waterloo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les37b Posted November 28, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Looking again at those timings..... 11 June 2017 silver cloud and silver wind should pass each other round about Greenwich I'd think. There are just so many places I'd like to be on that day! Tower Bridge, Greenwich and Dartford Bridge to video with the drone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les37b Posted January 24, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Just a quick update.... The tower bridge lift times have now been booked - and so far its nearly only Silversea going through! See attached. Live link... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare spinnaker2 Posted January 24, 2017 #7 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Les... Maybe we should all buy a box lunch and eat at your office... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les37b Posted January 24, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Les...Maybe we should all buy a box lunch and eat at your office... :-) Yikes .... I love the view but I try my best to be somewhere else! lol I'll lend you my pass. :-) That's an incredible number of lifts!!! Unfortunately there is only one of me ... and am intending on viewing and videoing from the shard. So can watch the cloud near enough the whole journey to Greenwich and the Wind coming in from that location..... including the turnaround which is easily visible and not far at all from Tower Bridge.

WhollyTerriers Posted February 11, 2017 #9 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Sailing up the Thames to Tower Bridge is a blast. "Get out on the bow," said Ray, our cruise director, "Not to be missed!" Indeed. My wife (ever the intrepid one) grabbed a chair and started hauling it to the bow. Of course, they grabbed it and took it up for her. I came down for coffee with Bailey's, and of course they had to deliver that. Then they brought blankets. Then they brought glasses and Champagne. So, while all these people on apartment balconies are waving at us (and their kids are jumping up and down), there we were toasting back at them. Indeed. We were docked for two nights at Tower Bridge, so in the morning we dragged our table out on our balcony, and had breakfast in our robes, waving at the people on the ferries.
