2 CRUISE SHIPS depart TILBURY in the rain

Cruise ships AMBITION and VIKING VENUS depart from the London International Cruise Terminal at Tilbury on the evening of 29th February 2024.
It is quite an unusual event to have two cruise ships berthed at Tilbury at the same time although both VIKING VENUS and AMBITION are regular visitors to the River Thames.
VIKING VENUS departed on a 12 day one-way cruise to Bergen, Norway.
AMBITION departed on a 15 night round trip cruise themed as "Northern Lights" which visits various Norwegian ports including Bergen. AMBITION is due back at Tilbury on 15th March.

Great vid and commentary.Shame you had the bad weather to film.
I didnt bother going to lowestoft to film the gull wing section of the new bridge arrive by barge.Judging by the amount of people that turned out to see it arrive i doubt i would have got close enough to get any decent footage.

Thanks. I had a few comments recently that people preferred commentary so I put it back in for this video. On the St Katharine Docks marina X account a few days ago, they said that there was a new yacht coming soon and I believe that it is sailing up the Thames tomorrow from Southampton if you look at the Tower Bridge lift website. They also seems to be some type of military boat through the bridge soon as well.
