Airport to Cruise Terminal Fares
The fly-cruise journey, priced end to end. If you land in the morning and sail in the afternoon, one car runs the whole journey: off the flight, across to the port, and to your terminal's check-in entrance. The through fare is simply the two fixed fares we already publish, the airport leg plus the terminal leg, combined in one booking.
| Airport | Airport leg (fixed) | Terminal leg (fixed) | Through fare (from) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Southampton Airport | £15 to Southampton | £20 City, Horizon, Mayflower · £25 Ocean, QEII | £25-£35 direct |
| Heathrow Airport | £110 | £20 City, Horizon, Mayflower · £25 Ocean, QEII | £130 (£135 for Ocean and QEII) |
| Gatwick Airport | £140 | £20 City, Horizon, Mayflower · £25 Ocean, QEII | £160 (£165 for Ocean and QEII) |
Southampton Airport to the terminals is a short direct hop, published at approximately £25-£35 on our Southampton Airport page. Through fares are per vehicle in a saloon, fixed when you book, and include flight tracking on the airport leg and timing matched to your ship's check-in window on the port leg. Larger vehicles are quoted per vehicle in the same way.
Flying In for Your Cruise?
If your cruise starts with a flight, the fly-cruise page prices the whole journey in one place: the through fares above, the sailing-day timing worked backwards from your check-in window, and what happens if your flight runs late.
Car or Train to the Cruise Terminal?
Plenty of cruise passengers arrive by rail, and for a solo traveller with a cabin bag it works. With cruise luggage, a group, or a boarding window to hit, the comparison changes:
| By car with Soton Cars | By train | |
|---|---|---|
| Journey legs | One door-to-door leg, your address or airport to the terminal entrance | Train to Southampton Central, then a walk of up to a mile or a second taxi leg to the terminal |
| Luggage | Cases go in the boot or a larger vehicle, with help at both ends | Every case is carried by you, on and off the train and across the station |
| Boarding window | Pickup timed to your ship's check-in window and the live sailing schedule | You build in your own buffer for train delays and the last-mile leg |
| Group cost | One fixed fare per vehicle, for up to 16 passengers in a minibus | A ticket per person, plus the last-mile leg at the port end |
| The return leg | Your driver meets you at the terminal on disembarkation | The same multi-leg journey in reverse, with a week's luggage |
The Five Terminals, Berth by Berth
Each terminal has its own berth, check-in entrance and pickup arrangements. These are the pages our drivers work from, with the terminal-specific detail for your sailing day:
