Your Departure Port

A Thames-side start to your cruise holiday

Tilbury is home to London Cruise Terminal, on the north bank of the River Thames in Essex. It can be a practical alternative to Southampton for guests travelling from London, Essex, Kent and surrounding areas.

The port is closely associated with Ambassador Cruise Line, whose no-fly sailings can include short breaks and longer itineraries around the British Isles, Northern Europe and beyond. Actual ships, destinations and dates change between seasons, so we will check the available programme before you book.
