Cruise Transfer Prices — Southampton

Fixed prices to all five Southampton cruise terminals — Ocean, City, Mayflower, Horizon and QEII. From £33.50 Premium from central Southampton, and a fixed £47 Premium tariff from Southampton Airport & Airport Parkway.

How cruise pricing works

Three pricing tiers

Tier 1 — Southampton Airport & Airport Parkway fixed tariff: a set price both ways between Southampton Airport (SOU) or Airport Parkway station and any of the five cruise terminals — £47 Premium, £65 MPV, £50 Executive midweek; £50 Premium, £65 MPV, £54 Executive on nights and weekends. Tier 2 — General cruise: a city or hotel pickup to your terminal uses our metered formula plus the £10 cruise service fee, from £33.50 Premium. Tier 3 — Airport fixed price: Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton, Stansted, London City, Bournemouth and Bristol each have a fixed all-in fare to the cruise terminals, listed in the table above.

All five Southampton cruise terminals

Southampton has five cruise terminals and the price is the same to any of them. Ocean Cruise Terminal (Berth 46/47, SO14 3QN) and QEII Cruise Terminal (SO14 3GG) sit in the Eastern Docks; City Cruise Terminal (SO15 1HJ), Mayflower Cruise Terminal (SO15 1HQ) and Horizon Cruise Terminal (SO15 1AW) are in the Western Docks. Your e-ticket names the terminal — tell us which one when you book and your driver goes straight to the correct forecourt, since the docks have separate security gates and a wrong gate costs you time on embarkation morning.

What is included

Meet-and-greet at terminal exit on disembarkation, ship arrival tracking (free waiting if your ship is late), luggage handling from kerb to porter, fixed price confirmed before booking. No charge for ship-side delays.

Cruise turnaround peak periods

Saturday is the busiest cruise turnaround day in Southampton; Friday and Sunday peak in summer. Pre-book at least 48 hours ahead for Saturday cruise embarkation in peak season (June–September). For disembarkation we can hold a slot from your booking confirmation regardless of turnaround volume.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a taxi from Southampton city centre to the cruise terminal?+
From £33.50 Premium, £37.50 MPV, £40 executive including the £10 cruise service fee. Drop-off directly at your terminal forecourt; porters handle luggage from there.
How much is a taxi from Southampton Airport to the cruise terminal?+
A fixed £47 Premium, £65 MPV or £50 Executive, midweek — and the same price in reverse, from the cruise terminal back to the airport. Nights and weekends are £50 Premium, £65 MPV and £54 Executive. It applies from both Southampton Airport (SOU) and Southampton Airport Parkway station, to any of the five cruise terminals, and it does not change with traffic or which terminal your ship uses.
Why is the Southampton Airport price fixed rather than metered?+
Southampton Airport and Airport Parkway to the cruise terminals is one of our most-booked patterns, so we hold a set tariff for it that beats our general metered formula on this pairing. You see the exact figure before booking and it is the figure you pay.
Do you charge extra if my ship is late on disembarkation?+
No — we track every ship's arrival time. If your ship is late, we adjust pickup automatically at no charge. You disembark when ready and we are there with a name board.
How much is Heathrow to the Southampton cruise terminal?+
Cruise embarkation from Heathrow uses our fixed Heathrow Premium price — £170. MPV and executive use the standard Heathrow fixed prices. See the dedicated Heathrow → Cruise Terminal page.
Which terminals do you cover?+
All five Southampton cruise terminals, at the same price: Ocean (SO14 3QN) and QEII (SO14 3GG) in the Eastern Docks, plus City (SO15 1HJ), Mayflower (SO15 1HQ) and Horizon (SO15 1AW) in the Western Docks. Tell us the terminal from your e-ticket and we confirm it on the day of sailing.
Is the price per person or for the whole car?+
For the whole vehicle. A Premium takes up to 4 passengers with 3 cases, the 8-seater MPV up to 8 passengers with 8 cases — so a family of four pays the one Premium fare, not four fares. Larger groups travel as two vehicles at the same per-vehicle price.
