Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about cruise port transfers.

How early should I arrive at the cruise terminal?
Most cruise lines open check-in 3-4 hours before departure. We recommend booking your transfer to arrive 2-3 hours before boarding time. For morning departures, this typically means arriving at the terminal around 10:00-11:00 AM.
What vehicles can handle cruise luggage?
Cruise passengers typically travel with more luggage than air travellers. Our Estate vehicles fit 4 large suitcases, MPV fits 4-6 cases, and 8-Seater MPV fits up to 8 large suitcases. Select your vehicle based on both passenger count and luggage needs.
Do you track ship arrival times?
Yes, we monitor ship arrivals for return transfers. Cruise ships typically dock early morning (6-7 AM) with disembarkation starting around 7-8 AM. We time your pickup based on your disembarkation slot or estimated exit time.
Can you drop me directly at my cruise terminal?
Yes, we drop you directly at your specific terminal. Southampton has 4 terminals, Dover has 2, and Tilbury and Harwich each have 1. Provide your cruise line and we'll identify the correct terminal automatically.
What if my ship is delayed arriving?
We monitor port arrivals and adjust your pickup time accordingly. Cruise ships occasionally arrive late due to weather or port congestion. We'll contact you if we detect any delays affecting your transfer.
Do you offer transfers to airports after my cruise?
Yes, post-cruise airport transfers are very popular. Common routes include Southampton to Heathrow (from £180, 90-120 min), Southampton to Gatwick (from £160), and Dover to Heathrow (from £165). Book your return transfer in advance to secure your preferred time.
Can I book for a group travelling together?
Yes, we accommodate groups of all sizes. Our 8-Seater MPV handles up to 8 passengers with luggage. For larger groups, we can arrange multiple coordinated vehicles. Contact us for group bookings of 9+ passengers.
Do you serve all cruise lines?
Yes, we provide transfers for all cruise lines operating from UK ports including P&O Cruises, Cunard, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, MSC Cruises, Princess Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Carnival, Fred. Olsen, and Ambassador Cruise Line.
