Cruise & port transfers
Bristol to Southampton, door to ship.
The holiday starts when you close your front door — not after a train, a taxi and a suitcase drag along the quay.

Terminals
Every Southampton cruise terminal, by name
Southampton has four passenger terminals — Ocean, Mayflower, QEII and City (Horizon) — spread around a working dock, and they are not walkable from one another. Your cruise line tells you which berth; you tell us, and we take you to that exact terminal door.
The journey is around 1 hour 30 minutes from Bristol. The fare is fixed at booking, including the luggage, which on a cruise is never a small consideration.
Luggage: the part everyone underestimates
Two weeks in the Med means big cases, and cruise passengers travel with more of them than flyers do. Our drivers load and unload for you, and the V-Class MPV takes seven passengers with genuine luggage space — no wedging suitcases between knees.
For the return we track your ship’s arrival, not just the scheduled time, so an early docking or a late berth doesn’t leave you waiting on the quay.
Groups, families and the whole party in one car
Cruises are rarely solo trips. Booking one vehicle for the whole party is usually cheaper per head than several rail tickets, and infinitely calmer. We also cover Avonmouth and Royal Portbury Dock for cruises leaving from Bristol itself — see all routes.
Cruise transfers, answered.
Which Southampton terminal do you drop at?
All of them — Ocean, Mayflower, QEII and City (Horizon). Tell us the berth on your cruise documents and we take you to that door.
How much luggage can we bring?
As much as the vehicle safely holds — the V-Class takes seven passengers with full-size cases. Tell us the number of bags when booking and we’ll size the car properly.
What if the ship docks late on the way back?
We track the actual arrival, not the timetable, so your driver is there when you disembark.
Is it cheaper than the train for a family?
Almost always, once you count four or more rail tickets plus taxis at both ends — and there are no changes with luggage.
Do you do early morning departures?
Yes. Cruise check-ins are often late morning, but we’ll leave Bristol at whatever hour your boarding window needs.
