A private transfer from Gatwick to Southampton Cruise Port takes you from your arrival terminal — North or South — straight to your allocated cruise terminal, with your driver meeting you inside arrivals. This guide covers what to share and how the journey is planned.
North and South terminal collections
Gatwick has two terminals, North and South. Your driver is sent to the correct terminal based on your flight details, so share your airline and flight number when you book. The vehicle is brought to the terminal forecourt once you have met your driver — there is no need to find a taxi rank or carry cruise luggage between terminals.
Flight details
We monitor your live flight so that early arrivals and delays are handled without you needing to call. Supplying the correct flight number is essential — without it we cannot track the live arrival time.
Meet and greet
Meet-and-greet is included for airport pickups. Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall and helps with your luggage. If you are travelling as a group, the driver can assist with several cases, but the vehicle must be large enough for all of them.
Cruise check-in planning
Journey times depend on traffic, the date and time of day, so we plan your departure from Gatwick with a sensible margin for your cruise check-in. We will ask for your cruise check-in time and ship name so the collection is timed around your sailing. The terminal can vary by ship and sailing, so we confirm the correct Southampton terminal as part of your booking. See our guide to Southampton cruise terminals.
Passenger and luggage information
Cruise luggage takes space. We allocate your vehicle from the full booking — passengers plus every large suitcase, cabin case and additional bag — so everything fits before you leave Gatwick. Share your complete luggage details and we will confirm the right vehicle. See our guide on cruise luggage and vehicle capacity.
An executive saloon suits up to two passengers with roughly two standard suitcases. A Mercedes-Benz V-Class is the popular choice for families and groups of up to six with more cruise luggage. You can compare transfer vehicles before requesting a quote.
