Cruise Port Transfers

Frequently Asked Questions

How far is Dover Cruise Port from Central London?

Around 75 miles, with journeys typically taking 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours by road, depending on traffic.

How far is Dover Cruise Port from Heathrow Airport?

Around 100 miles, with journeys typically taking 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes, depending on traffic.

Does Dover have more than one cruise terminal?

Yes, Dover's cruise terminals Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 β€” sit within the Western Docks, with larger ships generally using Terminal 2. Confirm your terminal when you book and we'll arrange your driver accordingly.

Where will my driver meet me at Dover Cruise Port?

Your driver waits outside the cruise terminal holding a board with your name, so you're easy to find once you're through with your luggage.

How early should I book my transfer before my cruise departs?

Embarkation for most cruises closes around 3–4pm, so it's worth booking a pickup time that gets you to the terminal with a comfortable margin. Confirm your ship's specific boarding time when you book.

Can I book a transfer between Dover Cruise Port and a UK airport?

Yes, in either direction, to and from Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton and Stansted.

Can you take a group or family, and can you fit extra luggage?

Yes, We run vehicles from a 4-seat saloon up to a 24-seat coach, so tell us your passenger numbers and luggage when you book and we'll match you to the right one.

What happens if my cruise's arrival time changes?

Get in touch with your updated timing and we'll adjust your pickup accordingly.

How do I book a Portsmouth Cruise Port transfer?

Online through our website, or by phone, WhatsApp or email if you'd rather speak to someone directly. Either way we'll need your pickup and drop-off details, travel date, passenger numbers and luggage before we can confirm a price.

Can I book a taxi to Portsmouth Cruise Port in advance?

Yes, and we'd recommend it. Booking ahead confirms your vehicle, driver and pickup time well before your sailing date, rather than leaving it to chance.

Can you pick me up from Portsmouth International Port after my cruise?

We can. Drivers meet cruise and ferry passengers at the main terminal with a name board once you've disembarked. Give us your estimated arrival time when you book so the pickup is planned around it.

Do you provide Portsmouth Cruise Port transfers to Heathrow?

Yes, in both directions. It's around 65 miles and usually 1 hour 15 to 1 hour 30 minutes by road, whether you're heading to the airport to fly out after your cruise or being collected from Heathrow to reach your sailing. Your fare is fixed and your driver already knows your flight or boarding time before you travel.

Do you provide Portsmouth Cruise Port transfers to Gatwick?

Yes, also both ways. It's roughly 60 miles between Portsmouth International Port and Gatwick, typically a 1 hour 15 to 1 hour 45 minute drive, and it's one of our most booked routes for passengers connecting onto short-haul European flights either side of a cruise.

Can you take passengers from Portsmouth Cruise Port to London?

Yes, It's around 75 miles, generally a 1 hour 30 minute to 2 hour drive via the A3, and we take you straight to a London address, hotel or station rather than a fixed terminus. That means no changing trains or coaches with cruise luggage, and no lugging cases across platforms partway through the journey.

Can you accommodate cruise luggage?

Yes, the vehicle range is built with this in mind. A saloon or estate suits two passengers with standard suitcases, while MPVs, minibuses and coaches cover larger groups with several bags each, right up to 12 cases in our 24-seater coach. Tell us your passenger and luggage numbers when you book and we'll recommend the right size vehicle.

Do you provide transfers for families and groups?

Yes, MPVs, minibuses and coaches are all part of the fleet, so families and larger cruise groups can travel together in one vehicle rather than splitting across several cars, and child seats are available on request

What vehicle should I book for cruise luggage?

Two people with standard suitcases, a saloon or estate is usually plenty. More passengers or bigger cases, look at an MPV, minibus or coach instead. Not sure which fits? Tell us your numbers and we'll recommend something.

How do I arrange my pickup after disembarkation?

Book the return transfer in advance with your estimated disembarkation time, and your driver will be waiting at the main terminal with a name board when you come through.

Can I travel from Portsmouth Cruise Port to Southampton?

Yes. It's about 20 miles along the M27, usually a 30 to 45 minute drive, and covers Southampton Airport and Southampton Cruise Terminal too. Useful if you're connecting between the two south coast ports, flying in or out via Southampton, or doing a back-to-back cruise booking.

How early should I book my cruise transfer?

As soon as you've got a sailing date, ideally, particularly for early morning departures, popular dates, or if you need something like a minibus or coach that's worth reserving well ahead.

How much is a taxi to Southampton Cruise Port?

The exact price depends on where you're travelling from, which vehicle you need, and the time of day you're travelling. Rather than quote one figure that won't apply to most journeys, we confirm your fixed price at the point you get a quote, based on your actual pickup and drop-off. There's no meter and no surge pricing, so the figure you're shown is exactly what you pay.

How long does Heathrow to Southampton Cruise Port take?

On a normal day, the journey takes around 1 hour 20 minutes to 2 hours, covering roughly 65 to 70 miles mostly along the M3. Rush hour, particularly on a Friday, tends to push journeys towards the longer end, while an off-peak trip is usually closer to the shorter end. Whatever your landing time turns out to be, we track your flight, so your driver already knows when to expect you.

How long does Gatwick to Southampton Cruise Port take?

Most journeys from Gatwick to Southampton Cruise Port take between 1 hour 45 minutes and 2 hours 30 minutes, covering around 85 to 90 miles. Traffic around the M25 and M27 interchange is usually the main factor that pushes a journey towards the longer end. As with every airport route we cover, your flight is tracked automatically, so a delayed landing doesn't change your booking or your price.

Which cruise terminal will my ship use at Southampton?

It could be any of Southampton's five terminals: QEII, Ocean, City, Mayflower or Horizon. Cruise lines move between terminals depending on which ships are in port on a given day, so the terminal on your original booking confirmation isn't always the one you'll actually use. The safest way to check is your final e-ticket, issued closer to your sailing date. Once you know your terminal, just pass it on to us.

Do Southampton cruise port transfers include luggage, and can I bring a child seat

Yes to both. The luggage you can bring depends on the vehicle you choose, our saloon and executive cars are set up for 2 checked bags and 2 pieces of hand luggage, while larger vehicles like our estate, MPV, minibus and coach offer considerably more space. Child seats are provided free of charge, you simply need to request one when you book, and let us know if you need more than one.

What happens if my flight is delayed before my cruise?

Because we track your flight in real time, your pickup time adjusts automatically if you're delayed, so you won't be left waiting or charged extra for a late landing. What we can't do is guarantee you'll still make your ship's boarding cut-off if the delay turns out to be a long one, since that depends on the cruise line's own deadline, not on us. If your connection looks tight, build in some extra time.

Is there a taxi from Southampton train station to the cruise terminal?

Yes, and it's worth pre-booking rather than hoping for one on the day. Southampton Central Station is about a mile from the port as the crow flies, but the actual walk to your specific terminal can take anywhere from 15 minutes to as much as 25 to 30 minutes, depending on which terminal you're heading to. A short, pre-booked transfer avoids that walk entirely, especially with cruise luggage.

Can I book a return Southampton cruise transfer?

Yes, and many passengers book both directions in one go, particularly if their travel dates and terminal are already confirmed. If your return details aren't settled yet, that's not a problem, you can book your outbound journey now and add the return leg later. Either way, both journeys are priced and confirmed the same way, with a fixed fare agreed before you travel.

Can I book a taxi from Stratford-upon-Avon to Southampton Cruise Port?

Yes, we cover all five Southampton terminals, QEII, Ocean, City, Mayflower and Horizon. Fare's fixed before you travel and it's door to door, so there's no working out which building to head for once you arrive.

How far is Southampton from Stratford-upon-Avon, and how long does it take

Roughly 105 to 120 miles depending on the route, usually 2 to 2 and a half hours by road. That's a guide rather than a promise, traffic on the M40 or M25 can add time, so leave a bit extra for an early check-in.

What about Portsmouth?

We Also covered. It's a little further out than Southampton, around 115 to 135 miles, typically 2 and a half to 3 hours. Same fixed-fare, door-to-door setup, and only one terminal to worry about.

Is a taxi actually easier than the train?

Usually, yes. There's no direct train from Stratford-upon-Avon to either port, so you're changing at least once, often at Leamington Spa, Oxford or Reading. Add waiting time and moving luggage between platforms, and the whole trip can take longer than just driving.

Can I bring several suitcases?

Yes, cruise luggage tends to be more than a normal taxi trip, so just tell us roughly how much you're bringing when you book. We'll put you in an estate car, MPV or minibus depending on the numbers.

Are child seats available?

Yes, free of charge, just ask when you book. Let us know your child's age so the right seat is ready for pickup.

What about larger groups or families travelling together?

That's fine too. Vehicles go up to minibus size, so a bigger group or a couple of families travelling together don't need to split across two separate cars.

Is the price actually fixed, or does it move with traffic?

We always provide fixed fare transfer from everywhere. Your fare is agreed before you travel based on your pickup address and terminal, and it doesn't change because of how the roads are on the day.
