Southampton Cruise Terminals We Serve
We operate door-to-dock from the Midlands to all Southampton cruise terminals.
Your chauffeur confirms your exact terminal the day before travel (as lines sometimes switch berths) and shares arrival timing plus the meet-point.
On the day, we use the terminal’s signed set-down lane, hand your luggage to the porters and guide you to the correct entrance before departing the security area.
- City Cruise Terminal (often MSC & Royal Caribbean)
Signed one-way approach with a dedicated set-down. We pull to the kerb, unload directly to porters, then exit as marshals direct. - Ocean Cruise Terminal (frequent P&O departures)
Clearly marked drop-off apron. Your chauffeur escorts you and your luggage to the porter point before leaving the controlled zone.
- Mayflower Cruise Terminal
Set-down immediately outside the hall. Expect traffic marshals on peak sailings; we align arrival to your check-in window to minimise queues.
- QEII Cruise Terminal
Wide bays for set-down with fast porter hand-off. We confirm berth/entrance the day before in case of late operational changes.
- Horizon Cruise Terminal
Modern one-way flow with marshalled drop-off. We time arrival to your allocated slot and unload to the trolley point.
Return-day rendezvous
We track your ship’s ETA in real time. After you clear immigration and customs, meet your chauffeur at the signed Private Hire / Pick-Up point or short-stay car park (sent by SMS with a live location). We load every suitcase and depart immediately—no queuing for taxis or shuttle buses.
Access & waiting rules (what to expect)
- Pre-booked access: Set-down lanes are time-limited and marshalled during peak sailings; waiting is not permitted. For early arrivals we move to short-stay.
- Port fees included: Any drop-off/access charges are covered within your fixed fare—no surprises on the day.
- Luggage hand-off: We transfer bags to the cruise porters/trolley point; you proceed to check-in while we exit the secure zone.
Note: We provide pick-ups from the Midlands only (e.g., Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, Solihull, Lichfield, Walsall, Tamworth) to Southampton’s cruise terminals and back.
