Kent Transfer Services provides direct private hire journeys for passengers joining or leaving a cruise at the Port of Southampton. The service is suitable for individuals, couples, families and small groups who require transport between their Kent pickup address and the correct cruise terminal.

Southampton has five principal cruise terminals: City, Horizon, Mayflower, Ocean and QEII. They are positioned in different areas of the port, so the ship name and terminal shown on your cruise documents are important. Supplying the correct information allows the journey to be planned for the appropriate dock entrance and passenger drop-off area.

A Southampton cruise transfer is a substantial journey from Kent and should be arranged around your allocated boarding time rather than the ship’s sailing time alone. Road conditions approaching the M3, M27 and Southampton port area can vary, particularly during busy travel periods, so the pickup time should include a realistic contingency for the complete journey.

Cruise passengers often travel with more luggage than they would carry on a short airport journey. When requesting a quotation, provide the number of passengers, large suitcases, cabin bags, mobility equipment and any oversized items. Additional collection addresses should also be stated in advance because they may affect the route and required departure time.

Return transfers from Southampton can be arranged for the day your ship arrives back in port. Include the cruise line, ship name, scheduled arrival date and expected disembarkation information so that the collection can be considered separately from the outward journey.
