Another great piece. It is so good that you do this filming as you are capturing fully the working river as it is today to the benefit of historians in the future.

Thanks for your kind comments. 👍There are some more cruise ships due on the Thames this week so hopefully I can film some of them as well.

Had the pleasure of arriving at Greenwich last July on Viking Mars. It was a very unique experience to be in the heart of London on such a large ship

Thanks for watching the video. Yes - there is plenty to see in the area with the Thames Barrier, cable cars, O2 arena, Canary Wharf, old Royal Naval college, etc. There are two more Viking cruises due to depart in the next few days.

Nice to watch this with the beautiful Architecture of the Royal Naval College in the background.
The Viking Saturn has a very elegant shaped Bow which reminds me of the classic looking Royal Viking Line ships from the 1970's.

Thanks. Viking cruise ships are regular visitors to the Thames with their standard cruise being 2 weeks one way to Bergen in Norway. They then operate a 2 week cruise from Bergen back to London again. VIKING SKY left for Bergen today and VIKING NEPTUNE is due to arrive tomorrow.

@@ThamesShips Thanks for the information. That sounds like a very nice cruise from London to Bergen.

[@ThamesShips]

@@Kirribilli_ships Yes - I agree!

Enormous ship with the beautiful buildings at the background. They are going to visit interesting places. Hope the weather will be fine.

[@ThamesShips]

Yes - hopefully the weather is good for their cruise. There are some more cruise ships due to sail on the Thames this week so hopefully I can see them as well.

Nice! Sailing on her next year from Greenwich.

[@ThamesShips]

Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy the cruise. I film a number of the Viking departures from Greenwich so you might see yourself in a video next year!

Another great video. You must have a motorbike or something to get all the different angles and shot. Keep going, you're recording for posterity.

Thanks for watching the video and for your kind comments. 👍There are two more Viking cruise ships due to sail on the Thames this week so hopefully I can see and film them as well.
