Southampton and Portsmouth cruise terminal transfers

Southampton and Portsmouth terminals

Southampton is the UK's busiest cruise port, with four main terminals spread across the Western and Eastern Docks, including the Ocean Terminal, the Queen Elizabeth II Terminal, the City Cruise Terminal and the Mayflower Cruise Terminal. The journey from Worthing usually takes around 50 to 70 minutes via the A27 and M27. Portsmouth serves both cruise ships and ferries, and the run is about 25 miles east of Worthing, typically 35 to 50 minutes along the A27.

Both are popular with groups. If several couples are travelling together we can send a larger vehicle so the party stays together and the cost is shared.

Why pre-book the return

Disembarkation days are busy and taxi ranks at the terminals fill quickly. Having a car pre-booked against your name and sailing means you walk off the ship and straight into your transfer home.

How it works

Booking this service, step by step

No accounts to create and no forms to fight with first — tell us the journey and we will confirm the details and the fare.

  1. Tell us the ship and terminal

    Share your sailing date, terminal and check-in time, plus passenger and luggage numbers.

  2. Fixed quote for the vehicle

    We confirm a set price based on vehicle type and distance.

  3. Collected with your luggage

    Your driver collects from your door and loads the cases, so you are not handling them yourself.

  4. Met on return

    Arrange the return transfer with us and we will be at the terminal when you disembark.
