QEII Cruise Terminal — what to know

The terminal

The QEII Terminal is one of Southampton's older cruise terminals, at Berth 38/39 in the Eastern Docks (SO14 3GG), reached via Dock Gate 4 next to Ocean Terminal. It handles Cunard sailings and overflow turnarounds when Ocean Terminal is at capacity. Drop-off is at the terminal building forecourt. Note: QEII is not the same as Horizon — Horizon is a separate, newer terminal in the Western Docks.

How we work the route

For embarkation we time arrival to your check-in window (typically 11:00–14:30 based on your booking). For disembarkation we monitor the ship's arrival and adjust pickup automatically — no charge for ship delays. Meet & greet is at the terminal exit with a name board.
