All Southampton Cruise Terminals Covered

Southampton is Europe's busiest cruise port, with five terminals spread across the docks — and ships don't always sail from the one you expect. Tell us your ship's name and sailing date, and we'll confirm the correct terminal and drop you at the right door.

City Cruise Terminal

Western Docks — regularly used by MSC Cruises and Fred. Olsen sailings.

Ocean Cruise Terminal

Eastern Docks — a frequent home for Cunard and Princess Cruises departures.

Mayflower Cruise Terminal

Western Docks — purpose-built for P&O Cruises' largest ships, including Iona.

Horizon Cruise Terminal

Western Docks — Southampton's newest terminal, serving Norwegian and other lines.

QEII Cruise Terminal

Eastern Docks — the classic terminal, still in regular use across multiple cruise lines.

Not sure which terminal?

Just give us your ship name — confirming the correct berth is part of the service.

Door-to-gangway in around 45 minutes. We time pickups around your embarkation window so you board relaxed, never rushed.

Airport to Cruise Terminal

Landing at Heathrow or Gatwick before your cruise? We meet you at arrivals with a name board and drive you straight to your ship.
