Dock Gate 4 on Platform Road is the single public entrance to the Eastern Docks and serves both Ocean and the QEII Terminal. You pass a manned security barrier after the gate, and the Ocean terminal is the first terminal you reach, roughly a 4-minute walk (0.2 miles) further in.
About 1.5 miles, which the harbour authority quotes as a 30-minute walk. That is realistic without luggage and a poor idea with cruise bags, so most passengers take a taxi from the rank outside the station, or the free bus to Town Quay followed by a 15-20 minute walk.
Yes. There is a taxi rank directly outside every Southampton cruise terminal, and private hire cars are permitted to drop off and pick up at the terminal entrance. Soton Cars meets arriving passengers inside the terminal concourse with a name board.
The harbour authority quotes about 20 minutes by road for 4.6 miles, depending on traffic. From Heathrow allow roughly 1 hour 25 minutes and from Gatwick roughly 1 hour 45 minutes, and build in extra time for motorway congestion.
