Southampton to Central London with London Sightseeing & Lunch

Departure
Nearly all cruises at Southampton arrive between 05:00am and 06:00am in the morning, with disembarkation starting around 07:00am. Your driver will meet you at the terminal building exit from 08:00am. Your driver will be holding a sign reading “International Friends”, and will accompany you to the coach. We plan to leave Southampton by 08:30am. There are 4 cruise terminals at Southampton, all slightly different but you will have a typical walk of about 75 yards to the vehicle where the driver will load your luggage into the hold. In the unlikely event your ship is delayed into port, we will delay our departure time accordingly (applicable only to the listed ships we service). For all delayed ship arrivals we will aim to leave at the latest one hour after docking (earlier if possible).

Drop Offs in Central London
Drop offs in Central London Hotels begins at approx. 3:00pm after your London Panoramic Tour. 

If you are flying from Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted or Luton Airports we can drop you at Victoria Rail or Coach Station around 3:30pm – 4:00pm, where there are frequent trains and airport buses to each airport.

Please note we may use other vehicles to ensure we complete the drop offs as quickly and efficiently as possible. If this does happen your friendly driver will manage this.
