A sail-away party is a mainstay of the start of many cruises but there is something special about being on a Windstar luxury cruise ship and having traffic stop while Tower Bridge opens up for you.
It was 11pm on a cold spring night in May. The lights of the bars and offices along the embankment were still twinkling but Windstar’s Star Pride cruise ship was centre stage, slowly navigating under the historic bridge. Even the London drivers seemed uncharacteristically happy to stop and take photographs.
