Ship to shore
- Passengers enter the Western Docks through Dock Gate 10. The terminal sits almost directly ahead after the gate, with a right turn at the roundabout, and is roughly a 4-minute walk (0.2 miles) from the gate.
- Southampton Central station is about 0.5 miles away, which the harbour authority quotes as a 12-minute walk, making Horizon one of the two closest terminals to the station.

- A taxi rank sits directly outside the terminal, and private hire cars can drop off and pick up at the terminal door. By car, take the M271, follow signs for the A33 and West Bay Road, and at the second roundabout take the first exit towards the terminal before proceeding up Horizon Way.

Horizon Cruise Terminal was built by Associated British Ports in partnership with MSC Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings. MSC Virtuosa was the first ship to call in July 2021, Regent Seven Seas followed with Seven Seas Splendor, and AIDA has berthed there with the LNG-powered AIDAnova.

About 0.5 miles, which the harbour authority quotes as a 12-minute walk, and only 0.2 miles or around 4 minutes from Dock Gate 10. Horizon and City are the two terminals closest to the station and the centre of the city.
Dock Gate 10 is the Western Docks gate for City and Horizon. Once through the gate the terminal is directly ahead, so turn right at the roundabout and follow signs to the terminal on West Bay Road.
Horizon has no direct bus stop, because bus services inside the Western Docks are limited. A taxi is the practical option: there is a taxi rank at Southampton Coach station and another at Southampton Central station, about 0.3 miles or a 6-minute walk away, plus a rank directly outside the terminal.
The harbour authority quotes approximately 20 minutes for 4.8 miles, depending on traffic. Southampton Airport Parkway station also connects by rail to Southampton Central, from which the terminal is a 12-minute walk or a short taxi ride.
Yes. ABParking, the port's official cruise parking provider, bases its on-site car parks inside the port estate at the Horizon and City terminals, with a two to three minute walk to the terminal building. Horizon is also one of the two terminals equipped with shore power, the UK's first commercial installation.
