Time-lapse of a massive cruiser passing under a London bridge is epic

The rare footage above shows the moment a giant cruise ship passes under London's famous Tower Bridge.

Caught in time-lapse, the cruiser can be seen floating down the River Thames in the heart of the English capital.

The stunning footage then shows the bridge opening up as it splits into two, making way for the cruise liner to cross unobstructed.

The heavy ship maneuvers its way through carefully, trying to avoid many other smaller ships sailing nearby. It merely scrapes under the tower it's so big.

Having successfully made its way to the other side, the mammoth cruiser then docks up next to another stationary ship.

Watch the mesmerising clip above to get a good grasp of the ship's sheer size when it's parked.
