Make the most out of your time in England, and combine your pre cruise transfer from London to Southampton cruise terminal with a visit to Windsor Castle. This service is available on all dates when Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Oceania, NCL, Celebrity, Princess & Disney cruise ships are visiting Southampton. This service is also available to passengers on other ships, when dates and arrival times coincide with ships listed.
You will be driven in an air conditioned touring coach from London to Southampton Cruise Terminals, via the world famous Windsor Castle.
After pick up from your London or Heathrow address, we will make our way to Windsor Castle, where over 900 years of royal history await you. Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest continuously occupied castle in the world and official home of our present King, Charles III. Here, you will have a chance to visit the lavish state apartments, the Grand Reception Room and the Royal Chapel of St George, which serves as the resting place of many of our Kings and Queens, and also provided the setting for the 2018 royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
After our visit to Windsor Castle, we begin the journey to Southampton, a journey of approximately 90 – 120 minutes. When we arrive in Southampton, you will walk straight to the check in desk. Porters will take care of your luggage, ensuring it is delivered to your cabin. Please make sure you use the luggage label in your cruise pack to facilitate this. We plan to drop you at your cruise terminal between 1:30pm – 2:00pm.
Please note Windsor Castle will be closed on Tuesdays & Wednesdays and as such this tour will not be available.
