"Silver Cloud" passes through Tower Bridge - 09/06/2017
Silversea Cruises' "Silver Cloud" is in her final year working regular cruises before she is transferred over to Silversea Expeditions.
She's been a regular caller to the City of London over the years and her final visit was to be over the weekend of June 9th-11th 2017.
In this video we see her arriving in the Pool of London on Friday 9th June sailing underneath the majestic Tower Bridge and escorted by the tug "Svitzer Cecilia" before docking next to HMS "Belfast" at 15:45. She will depart at 14:30 on Sunday 11th June and will pass her sister-ship "Silver Wind" somewhere between the Thames Barrier and the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge before "Silver Wind" herself sails through Tower Bridge around two hours later.

I'd love to pass through Tower Bridge on a cruise ship some day.
It look so amazing! I wish that I could see it with my own eyes...
I always think that this must be an absolutely incredible experience - what a place to cruise out of!
My friend who runs a charter superyacht reckons the best comment he ever had from a guest was from a lady who said: "Even better than Silversea". I worked on the river a few hundred metres down from Tower Bridge and whenever there was a ship "going up through the bridge" everyone would be out on the pontoon to watch. I was lucky, the view from my office desk was a direct view of the bridge !
That was awesome to watch!

I worked on TB for 25 years and was a bridge driver. have operated the bridge many times for the silver wind, and silver cloud and many other cruise ships. Unforgettable experience every time I did it!
Beautiful UK.
This day I was watching from my window at Butlers Wharf.
Most beautiful bridge
I really want to go to London some day.

I Love Tower Bridge 💙💚💛💜
Were they town this thing backwards on the way back back, cause there really doesn't like like there's enough headroom to turn around?
London city 😍😍😍
Best shot of this I work on whitby bridge dwarfed by this
damn,they let ships like that cross through rivers? A real Beauty she is
Wowwwwww
Doesn't the Silver Cloud deploy its tender when docked in London or do the passengers go through the HMS Belfast?
I'd hate to be the one that has to turn the damn thing around, especially in the Thames!

Looking back on this nearly a year later, I'm assuming that's probably what the tugboat was for, or to at least assist it

@@glenellis6984 Yep, it's like backing out of a parking space. :-) I went to the Tower once and the ship was docked right there. I remember wondering "how the truck is this thing going to turn around to go back?" On my way back, I watched the spectacle of tugboats taking the ship back without turning it around. Impressive!
Am I the only one who could imagine the Jaws theme 😄

Aren't the crew skilled to navigate the cruise ship through the narrower Thames River?

so sad to see the silver cloud on her last year working with regular cruises

Absolutely not. While Silverses ships are big by Thames standards, they are tiny indeed compared to Oasis-class vessels, with a displacement around one-sixth of those behemoths.

Oasis class ? I'll have to think about it... short answer would be not in a million years
I love my dream country.
Also one of the songs they played was created during WW2 to keep spirits up while soldiers were facing capture or certain death. Insensitive.
I was sea sick🤢
Silversea....Not silver cloud.

Tim Fremstad if you are American, you lot write the date incorrectly. Date/month/year
Switch up you're activities

How disgusting. River ferries get in trouble sometimes on the Thames let alone cruise ships. There is enough pollution in London without the cruise ships adding to it. Also if you can hear the pre recorded music from the embankment, piped out of cheap tinny speakers, then it is too loud! I know now why the people of Venice, Majorca, Barcelona etc hate cruise ships.

If you had been there you would have known the music was being played from the ship most probably with a live singer
