Airport, Hotel, Cruise, London — One Booking
Most cruise passengers need more than one journey. A flight to meet, a hotel the night before, the terminal on sailing morning, and somewhere to be afterwards. Tell us the whole itinerary once and we arrange every leg, with a price for each and one operator responsible for the lot.
Transport only — accommodation is not included. Each journey is charged at its normal fare; booking them together is coordination, not a discount.
What booking it together actually gives you
On a cruise itinerary the legs depend on each other. A delayed flight moves the hotel pickup; a late berthing moves the run to London. Booking the legs separately, from different companies, means nobody is watching that chain.
- • Flight tracking on the airport legs, ship monitoring on the terminal legs
- • One vehicle sized for your luggage across every journey, not a different car each time
- • Every leg confirmed in advance, with the times worked backwards from your sailing
- • One number to call if something moves — and we will tell you honestly if a plan is too tight
Common itineraries
Before the cruise
Airport → Southampton hotel → cruise terminal. The safest shape if you are flying in, because the overnight absorbs a delayed flight. The individual legs are covered on Heathrow to the cruise terminal and hotel to terminal.
After the cruise
Cruise terminal → London hotel, or straight to the airport. Worth planning carefully if you are flying the same day — see cruise to airport transfers for the timing.
The complete itinerary
Airport → hotel → terminal → London or the airport home. Four legs across a fortnight, arranged in one go, with the return leg already held before you sail.
Something else entirely
Two legs, or five. A sightseeing stop on the way. Two vehicles for a larger party. Put it in the enquiry and we will price what you actually need.
What three legs look like
A party of five with cruise luggage, in one 8-seater MPV, flying into Heathrow and leaving from London afterwards:
| Journey | Priced as | MPV (8-seater) |
|---|---|---|
| Heathrow → Southampton hotel | Fixed Heathrow fare | £250 |
| Southampton hotel → cruise terminal | Cruise tier, quoted on the route | £40.50 |
| Cruise terminal → London hotel | Cruise tier, quoted on the route | £304 |
An illustration, not a quote. The Heathrow leg is a genuinely fixed fare; the two cruise legs are calculated from the actual route, so your figures depend on your hotel and your London address. Every price is for the whole vehicle rather than per passenger. Send us the itinerary and we will price yours exactly. Full fare tables live on cruise transfer prices and airport transfer prices.
Which vehicle, across every leg
On a cruise itinerary the luggage decides the vehicle more often than the headcount does — cruise cases are bigger than airport cases, and they travel with you on every leg.
- Premium — up to 4 passengers, 3 suitcases and 2 hand luggage. A couple, or a family travelling light.
- MPV (8-seater) — 5–8 passengers, 6–8 suitcases and 3–4 hand luggage. What most cruise parties need — the luggage usually decides it, not the headcount.
- Executive — up to 4 passengers, 2 suitcases and 1 hand luggage. Business travel rather than a fortnight of cases.
Whichever level you pick applies across the whole itinerary, so the same class of vehicle meets you at every leg. More on the group vehicle itself is on the 8-seater and minibus page.
