Plan Your Airport Cruise Connection
Arriving at Gatwick Airport before a Southampton cruise involves coordinating two important parts of your journey. Your flight arrival, baggage collection, airport pickup and cruise embarkation all need to fit comfortably into your travel plans.
1ST Airport Taxis LTD provides private Gatwick Airport to Southampton Cruise Terminal transfers, giving cruise passengers a pre-arranged journey from the airport towards their Southampton departure.
Gatwick Airport has North and South Terminals, and airlines operate from different terminal locations. Providing your flight number when booking helps identify the relevant arrival information for your collection.
Your journey price is calculated from the booking details you provide and displayed upfront. We do not apply demand-based surge pricing simply because airport or road demand increases.
Collection Coordinated With Your Arrival
International and domestic flight schedules can change, which is why we use real-time flight monitoring when coordinating Gatwick Airport collections.
Once you have completed the arrivals process and collected your luggage, Meet & Greet can help you connect with your driver before beginning your Southampton journey.
Airport collections include 60 minutes of free waiting time, giving passengers additional time after their flight arrives to complete passport control, baggage reclaim and other arrival procedures.
Live driver tracking provides useful visibility around your collection, while relevant tracking information can be shared with family or loved ones. Our customer support operation is also available 24 hours a day.
Travel With Your Cruise Luggage
Cruise travel can involve large suitcases, cabin bags, pushchairs and other belongings. Providing accurate luggage information when booking helps us arrange a vehicle appropriate for your passengers and baggage.
Vehicle options range from 4-seater cars to 16-seater minibuses, providing choices for individuals, couples, families and larger cruise groups. Executive vehicles and EV options are also available.
Families booking a Gatwick Airport to Southampton Cruise Terminal transfer can request baby, toddler and booster seats in advance. Please provide each child's age when making your reservation.
For larger groups, passenger numbers and luggage requirements should be considered together. This helps ensure sufficient space is available for everyone travelling to the cruise terminal.
Arrive Ready For Your Cruise
After meeting your driver at Gatwick Airport, your pre-booked vehicle continues towards the Southampton cruise destination provided with your reservation.
A private transfer removes the need to organise several separate stages of public transport after landing, which can be particularly helpful for passengers travelling with children, larger groups or substantial cruise luggage.
Check your cruise documentation before travelling and provide the correct Southampton cruise terminal or embarkation location when making your booking.
Passengers travelling from Gatwick Airport to Southampton Cruise Terminal on the same day as their cruise departure should allow sufficient time for airport arrivals procedures and the onward road journey.
