Majestic Princess at the Port of Southampton
Majestic Princess at Southampton in 2026
The port's 2026 list has Majestic Princess at Southampton once — first on Sat, 19 Sept 2026, last on Sat, 19 Sept 2026. Majestic Princess is the Royal-class sister originally built for the Chinese market, now sailing European seasons that include Southampton calls.
Which terminal does Majestic Princess use?
Every single Majestic Princess call in the 2026 list is at Mayflower Cruise Terminal in the Western Docks (SO15 1HQ), which makes planning easy: the pickup point does not move between sailings. We still check your e-ticket at booking, because the port can reassign a berth at short notice.
Who else is in port on your date
Southampton rarely handles one ship at a time, and that is what decides how busy your journey is. On Majestic Princess's single call — Sat, 19 Sept 2026 — she shares the port with Iona, Queen Mary 2 and Silver Dawn. Several thousand extra guests moving through the same dock gates means slower approach roads and an emptier taxi rank, which is exactly the day you want a car already booked rather than one you still have to find.
Timing your transfer around Majestic Princess
Most Majestic Princess calls in the list arrive and leave the same day, which is the classic Southampton pattern: guests off in the morning, guests on in the afternoon, ship away by early evening. The port lists her times as TBA this far ahead — they firm up in the last few days before each call. For embarkation we time the pickup to your check-in window rather than the ship's arrival, so you are not standing in a queue with your cases; for disembarkation we track the ship and adjust the pickup free of charge if she docks late.
Luggage, groups and the right vehicle
A ship this size turns several thousand guests around in a single morning, and the taxi rank outside the terminal is emptied within minutes of the first coach arriving. A pre-booked, fixed-price car with a named driver removes that gamble entirely — and if your party needs it, the 8-seater takes up to 8 passengers and 8 cases in one run.
