Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the journey from London to Southampton cruise terminal take?
+-
The journey from central London to Southampton’s cruise terminals typically takes 1.5 to 2 hours via the M3, depending on traffic and your collection point. For embarkation days we recommend allowing additional buffer time. Our chauffeurs monitor live traffic throughout and adjust routing to ensure you arrive at the terminal with plenty of time before boarding.
Which Southampton cruise terminals do you serve?
+-
We serve all four of Southampton’s major cruise terminals: the QE2 Ocean Terminal (P&O, Cunard, MSC), City Cruise Terminal, Mayflower Cruise Terminal and Horizon Cruise Terminal.

Can I book a chauffeur for both my departure and return?
+-
Yes — many clients pre-book both the outward transfer to Southampton and the return collection after disembarkation. Return bookings are confirmed at the time of your outward reservation.
