Queen Anne at the Port of Southampton
Queen Anne at Southampton in 2026
The port's 2026 list has Queen Anne at Southampton 12 times — first on Sun, 30 Aug 2026, last on Sun, 20 Dec 2026, and November is when she is here most often. Queen Anne is the newest ship in the Cunard fleet, named in Liverpool in 2024 and now one of the most frequent Cunard callers at Southampton.
Which terminal does Queen Anne use?
Queen Anne uses Ocean Cruise Terminal (SO14 3QN) on 10 calls, Mayflower Cruise Terminal (SO15 1HQ) on 2 calls. Ocean Cruise Terminal is the one to expect, but it is not guaranteed — the other one (Mayflower Cruise Terminal, SO15 1HQ) appears often enough that you should read the terminal off your e-ticket and tell us when you book.
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 6 of her 12 calls another cruise ship is alongside the same day — the heaviest is Fri, 13 Nov 2026, when Queen Anne shares the port with MSC Preziosa and Ventura. Several thousand extra guests arriving and leaving through the same dock gates means slower approach roads and an emptier taxi rank, so on those dates we build extra time into the pickup rather than hoping for a clear run.
Timing your transfer around Queen Anne
Most Queen Anne 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
Queen Anne tends to sail longer voyages, and longer voyages mean heavier luggage — often two large cases per person rather than one. Our Premium estate covers 4 guests with 3 cases; for a full ship's worth of world-cruise luggage the 8-seater is the safer booking.
