Continue From Ship To South
Your cruise may finish in Southampton while the next stage of your journey begins at Gatwick South Terminal. Coordinating these two parts in advance can make the transition from ship to flight much easier.
Our Southampton Cruise Terminal to Gatwick South Terminal service provides private transport for passengers travelling directly from their cruise collection point towards the South Terminal.
Provide your ship name, expected collection time, passenger numbers and luggage requirements when booking. If you have a flight that day, your airline, flight number and departure time are also useful details.
This creates a journey plan around your actual cruise and flight arrangements rather than treating the transfer as a standard point-to-point collection.
Leave Enough Time Ashore
A ship can be docked before you are ready to leave Southampton. Passengers may still need to wait for their disembarkation group, leave the vessel and locate their checked luggage.
Your collection should therefore reflect the time you realistically expect to reach the landside area. Check the latest instructions supplied by your cruise operator before deciding when your vehicle should arrive.
Once you are ready to travel, live driver tracking can help you follow your driver's progress towards the collection.
Our customer support is available 24/7. Standard address collections include 30 minutes of waiting time, with the first 15 minutes free.
Match Your Vehicle To Baggage
Cruise travel often means more luggage than an ordinary airport journey. Large cases, hand luggage, pushchairs and additional holiday purchases all affect the space your party needs.
Tell us the complete baggage requirement when reserving your transfer rather than selecting a vehicle using passenger numbers alone.
Standard and executive saloons suit smaller parties, while MPVs provide additional flexibility for families. 8-seater and 16-seater minibuses are available for groups, subject to the combination of passengers and luggage.
Selected EV options are also available. Families booking a Southampton Cruise Terminal to Gatwick South Terminal transfer can request baby, toddler or booster seats in advance.
Finish At Gatwick South Terminal
Gatwick has North and South terminals, so confirming the correct departure terminal before leaving Southampton is important. Your airline and current flight information should be used to verify that South Terminal is the correct destination.
When travelling directly from a cruise to a same-day flight, allow enough time between leaving your ship and your airline's required airport arrival time. Your schedule should account for disembarkation, baggage collection, the road journey, check-in and security.
Your Southampton Cruise Terminal to Gatwick South Terminal booking keeps the airport destination specific, helping distinguish your journey from a general Gatwick Airport transfer.
If your airline changes your departure terminal before travel, update your booking information as soon as possible so the correct airport destination can be considered.

Frequently Asked Questions
You should find answers to your questions here. If not, please chat with our operator by clicking the chat button.
When Should My Cruise Pickup Be?
Base your collection time on when you expect to complete disembarkation and retrieve your luggage rather than your ship's scheduled arrival time alone.
Why Should I Provide My Ship?
Your ship information helps identify the cruise journey associated with your Southampton collection and provides useful context for the booking.
Should I Add My Flight Number?
Yes, particularly when travelling directly to a same-day flight. Include your airline, flight number, scheduled departure and South Terminal information where available.
Can You Take Large Cruise Cases?
Yes. Provide the number and approximate size of your cases when booking so an appropriate vehicle can be considered.
Can Our Group Stay Together?
Yes. MPVs and minibuses are available for families and groups, including larger vehicle options for up to 16 passengers, subject to luggage capacity.
Are Children's Seats Available?
Yes. Baby, toddler and booster seats can be requested before travel. Provide each child's age when making your reservation.
What If We Leave The Ship Late?
Contact customer support as soon as you know your collection arrangements may change. This allows the booking details to be reviewed.
Can You Drop Us At South Terminal?
Yes. Specify Gatwick South Terminal as your destination when booking so the transfer is arranged for that terminal rather than Gatwick Airport generally.
Is My Fare Confirmed Before Travel?
Yes. Your fare is calculated from the journey details supplied and displayed upfront. We do not use demand-based surge pricing simply because travel demand increases.
