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. 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 Windsor where you will have the option of visiting the world famous Windsor Castle.
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.
Should you choose not to visit the Castle your tour manager will be happy to advise on how to make the most of your time. You will spend approximately one and a half hours in Windsor.
After our visit to Windsor, we begin the journey to Southampton. 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 is closed on Tuesdays & Wednesdays. This tour will not be available on those days
Departure
We offer pick up from select London city center hotels and Heathrow Airport hotels. Your pick up time will be confirmed at time of booking.
London city centre pick ups begin at 07:00am and are completed by 08:15am. We will then collect from Heathrow airport hotels between 09:00am – 09:45am. For Heathrow pick ups you must be ready and waiting in the hotel reception area from 09:00am. We are unable to collect from Heathrow airport terminals.
We recommend you are ready for collection in the hotel reception area, 10 minutes prior to the stated pick up time on your ticket. On departure from London, you may be collected by the main coach, or one of our smaller vehicles may transfer you to the coach. This is to ensure we complete the pickups as quickly and efficiently as possible. Your driver will meet you inside your hotel lobby and will then assist you with your luggage.
On a small number of occasions, due to road closures or events, we may alter the route/timings to ensure prompt arrival at the cruise terminal. If we do amend the timings we will contact you in advance. We strongly recommend checking your emails prior to your departure in case we have contacted you with a pick up time amendment.
Arrival at Southampton
There are four cruise terminals at Southampton. In normal circumstances the coach will take around 75 – 100 minutes to travel from Windsor to Southampton, arriving between 1:30pm and 2:00pm. At Southampton you will step off the coach and walk straight to the check-in desk. Porters will take care of your luggage, ensuring it is delivered directly to your cabin. Make sure you use the luggage label in your cruise pack to facilitate this.
Pickups in Central London begin at 07:00am and are completed by 08.15am. We will then collect from Heathrow Airport accommodations between 09:00am – 09:45am. After your visit in Windsor you will begin the journey to Southampton which is approximately 2 hours. We aim to arrive at the cruise terminals between 1:30pm and 2:00pm.
In the unlikely event of there being delays out of our control, such as traffic problems, your tour manager will liaise directly with the ships ground handling team and keep them updated on your progress and expected arrival time at the port.

Each person is allowed a maximum of 2 items of hold luggage (75x51x28 cm-23kg each) and 1 item of carry on luggage (55x40x20 cm-10kg each).
Limits on luggage are worked out based on the space available in the vehicles hold. If you bring extra luggage it will not fit in the vehicle. In this instance you will be responsible for arranging separate transportation for your luggage to your cruise ship, which could result in a stressful start to your holiday! And no one wants that!
