Southampton to Central London/Heathrow via Cotswold Villages & Oxford Tour

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 the car. 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).

Arrival at London & Heathrow
We depart Oxford at 4:00pm and arrive at Heathrow hotels and terminals from 5.30pm subject to traffic, arriving in Central London between 6.00pm and 6:30pm. We drop off at selected London city centre or Heathrow airport hotel. We also drop at all Heathrow terminals and London city centre train stations. If you are flying from Gatwick, Stansted or Luton Airports we can drop you at Victoria Rail or Coach Station around 6:30pm – 7:00pm, where there are frequent trains and airport buses to each airport. Please note on arrival in London we may use other vehicles to ensure we complete the drop offs as quickly and efficiently as possible. If this does happen our drivers, guides or tour managers will manage this.
