We welcomed Year 2 pupils from Little Thurrock Primary School to the London International Cruise Terminal last week, where they explored the evolution of cruise ships—from the Titanic to today’s modern vessels.
The pupils had the chance to hear from an Ambassador Cruise Line representative, meet our special guest Burtle, and explore the historic terminal with a Tilbury Riverside Project volunteer. They also visited the landing stage to see tugboats and ships along the Thames, before wrapping up with a port tour, a fun game of ‘I Spy,’ and plenty of great questions!

This visit was a perfect example of business and education working together to spark curiosity and inspire future careers. A big thank you to our wonderful employees, Tilbury Riverside Project, and Ambassador, for making it such a memorable day!
