Heathrow to Southampton Cruise Port Transfer

From Heathrow arrivals to your cruise ship

Heathrow is the airport many international cruise passengers use for Southampton, roughly 65 to 70 miles away by road. There is no direct train: rail means travelling into London or changing on the way, then taking a taxi from Southampton Central to the port. For other journeys from this airport, see our Heathrow Airport transfers.

After a long flight, with cruise luggage, a pre-booked private car is the simpler choice. One vehicle takes your party from the terminal to the ship.

How your Heathrow pickup works

• We track your flight, so a delay does not leave you without a driver.
• Your driver enters the car park 30 minutes after you land and waits at the terminal meeting point with your name on a tablet or name board.
• Waiting time is not charged during the first hour after your flight lands. That hour is there for leaving the aircraft, immigration and baggage reclaim.
• The Heathrow car park charge is paid by the passenger. Ask us for the current charges when you request your quote.

Arriving before sailing day, or on the day?

Many passengers fly in a day or more before the cruise. We can take you from Heathrow to a London hotel first and on to the port on sailing day: see London to Southampton cruise transfers.

If you are going directly from the aircraft to the ship, send us your flight number and your cruise check-in window. We will look at the timings with you before you book, so that you leave a sensible margin for immigration, baggage and traffic.

Families, groups and executive travel

Travelling as a family or with friends? One larger vehicle keeps your party and your luggage together. For a quieter, more comfortable ride after an overnight flight, ask for the Executive Saloon.

Tell us how many passengers are travelling and how many large cases and hand luggage items you have, and we will recommend a vehicle that fits your party.

Southampton to Heathrow after your cruise

We collect from all five Southampton cruise terminals and drive you to your Heathrow terminal. Send us your flight time and the disembarkation time your cruise line gives you, and we will agree a collection time with you. Leave a comfortable gap between leaving the ship and your flight.

How your quote and booking work

1. Enter your pickup, your Southampton cruise terminal, date, time, passengers and luggage in the booking form, or send the same details on WhatsApp.
2. D&J confirms your fixed price. Cruise transfers are quoted individually, based on the journey, the vehicle and the date.
3. Once you accept the quote, we confirm your booking. Nothing is booked until you have agreed the price.
