London welcomes new and established cruise callers Cruise and Maritime Voyages is the largest user of London Cruise Terminal at Tilbury. Regular callers are the Columbus and the Megellan, and the terminal also sees a few calls by the ever- popular Marco Polo. Other regulars include NCL and Viking. In 2021 CMV is introducing two additional ships to its fleet and one of these will be deployed from Tilbury, a decision that will boost numbers once again. Tilbury cruise departures are mainly for round-Britain, Nordic, Baltic and near-continent itineraries, but the terminal also handles round-the-world cruises departing at the start of the year, and some Mediterranean cruises. In what can be a very seasonal business, December is actually one of the terminal’s busiest months, with 20,000 passengers passing through in the last month of 2019. That’s due to the popularity of overnight events and mini cruises, including those heading to Antwerp, Rotterdam and Amsterdam to take in the Christmas markets. In 2020, Tilbury will welcome its first call from the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. Steve Lyons says that smaller cruise vessels are increasingly in demand and many new expedition ships are being launched. “These expedition ships take around 200 to 250 passengers and can get into smaller, niche ports – indeed, places like the “And we are beginning to see those We work very well together.
