A massive barge causes a stir as it is flanked by two stunning motor yachts while Tower Bridge makes a special ‘opening’ today.

En-route to World Travel Market, the voyage is a first for the Cayman Islands who want to bring warmth to winter following the announcement of a fifth direct flight with British Airways from London Heathrow to Grand Cayman.

On board is Rosa Harris, Director of Tourism at the Cayman Islands Department of Tourism who is honoured to be escorting London’s most prestigious travel media to World Travel Market – the world’s largest travel event – which boasts over 35,000 of the most influential names in travel taking place at London’s ExCel Centre.

As the ship sets sail, guests have an exclusive opportunity to learn more about how Cayman will do things differently next year, shaking-things-up within the travel industry.

On the barge, Caymanian mixologist, Maya Grant, brings a taste of Cayman to the Thames as she serves local signature breakfast cocktails including Mary from West Bay, Shots Fired! ‘Mudslides’ and a Seaside Sip – a Cayman take on a Hot Toddy with Seven Fathoms Rum. As well as these traditional drinks, guests enjoy music from local Caymanian artists throughout the voyage.
