Main risk

Boat transfer from shore to the moored ship

Return to the designated ship-transfer point with time for boarding. Public river boats and the cruise shore transfer are different connections; do not plan the final journey around the wrong service.

Getting from the ship

To Cutty Sark and the National Maritime Museum

First connection

Confirm the ship-operated shore transfer and its landing point. Start the Greenwich walking route only after disembarking ashore. Public river services have separate tickets and stops and should not be assumed to serve the ship mooring.

Return planning

Return to the designated ship-transfer point with time for boarding. Public river boats and the cruise shore transfer are different connections; do not plan the final journey around the wrong service.

Public transport: Limited

Exploring Greenwich Ship Tier

Simplest approach

Focus on Cutty Sark and the National Maritime Museum, checking admission and opening arrangements. Add nearby Greenwich streets within the time available, then return to the exact ship-transfer landing. A central London outing needs a separate onward and return transport plan.

Practical notes

Accessibility

Check assistance for the ship shore-transfer boat and museum access. Choose the level Greenwich cluster before adding uphill park sights.

Weather

River conditions can affect shore transfers; rain favours the museum after a confirmed landing.
