London to Southampton: what to know

Most London cruise passengers sail from Southampton. The train from Waterloo is quick to Southampton Central, but it stops at the station, and the terminals are a separate journey across the city with your cruise luggage.

A car goes from your door to the terminal and, on the way home, from the terminal back to your door, which on a disembarkation morning is worth a great deal.

The usual route is the A3 or M3 out of London, then the M3 to the docks.

  • Which terminal?

    Ocean, Mayflower, City, QEII or Horizon: your cruise documents say which, and we take you to that one.

  • Room for the luggage

    A fortnight's cruise luggage for two often needs more than a Saloon. Tell us your case count and we will recommend the vehicle.

  • Book the return too

    Disembarkation mornings are busy and lines of passengers wait for cars. Booking your return in advance means your driver is already there.
