This summer Capital Cruising - the cruise division of Forth Ports - welcomed Viking Cruises’ Viking Sea on her inaugural visit to Edinburgh. The vessel docked at the operator’s Newhaven port and will return next year.

Neil Barclay, head of sales Viking Cruises UK, said: “As a Scotsman myself, it was a pleasure to watch Viking Sea arrive in my hometown for the first time. The route was part of our ‘Into the Midnight Sun’ itinerary which takes guests on a journey through the classic beauty of Scotland.”

*Meanwhile The London International Cruise Terminal accommodated Crystal Symphony for a transit, debark and embark en route to Honfleur in August.

London International Cruise Terminal at Tilbury The Port of Tilbury is home to London's only deep water purpose-built cruise facility, the London International Cruise Terminal. Situated at the gateway to London - just 22 nautical miles down river from Tower Bridge - the historic Grade II* listed Terminal is in an ideal location close to the heart of the City. Tilbury has become increasingly popular as a turnaround port for Baltic and Northern European destinations but it is also perfectly placed for transit calls to visit England's capital city. The M25 is 7 miles away offering easy access for coach excursions to Central London (25 miles), historic Rochester (27 miles) and Leeds Castle (38 miles). London's principal airports - Heathrow, Gatwick Stansted and London City - are within an hour's drive of the Terminal and Tilbury town station, on the C2C main line Shoeubyrness to London Fenchurch Street line, is one mile away.
