02 · After your cruise
From the terminal
Book around your expected disembarkation time, allowing for baggage collection and clearance. We confirm the meeting arrangements and include 45 minutes of waiting from your booked pickup time.

Airport & hotel connections
Cruise transfers to airports and hotels
Arrange Southampton or Portsmouth cruise transfers from Heathrow, Gatwick, Southampton Airport and Bournemouth Airport, or from London hotels and addresses across Hampshire. Airport arrivals include flight monitoring, meet and greet and luggage assistance.
Disembarking in Southampton and flying out of Heathrow? See our Southampton Cruise Terminal to Heathrow transfer for pickup and flight timing guidance.
For airport collections, 60 minutes of complimentary waiting starts from actual landing or your booked pickup time, whichever is later. Share both your flight details and cruise check in time; a same day connection needs enough time for immigration, baggage and the road journey.
Returning to the airport after your cruise? Tell us your disembarkation slot, flight departure and airline check in requirements before booking. We will help plan a suitable transfer, allowing time for the road journey and airport formalities.
