Gatwick to Southampton Cruise Terminal: Private Mercedes Transfer

Your driver meets you at arrivals and handles the route while you settle in with complimentary refreshments.

A private Mercedes transfer from Gatwick Airport to Southampton Cruise Terminal with meet-and-greet pickup, complimentary refreshments and airport parking included in the price. Your driver monitors your flight, meets you in the arrivals hall and drives you to the port or your Southampton hotel, with the journey taking approximately two hours depending on traffic.

The experience

When your flight lands at Gatwick, your driver already knows it. They'll text you at touchdown and meet you in the arrivals hall of your terminal with a name board, then escort you to a luxury Mercedes: your choice of E-Class, V-Class or S-Class, all air-conditioned and fitted with WiFi. From there, the drive to Southampton Cruise Terminal takes around two hours, though timing shifts with traffic and the time of day. The route passes through Hampshire countryside, and your driver can suggest a stop for a drink before the port if you want one.

Onboard, you get complimentary bottled water, coffee and tea, and freshly cooked croissants and muffins. The vehicle is sanitised between passengers, your driver wears a mask, and hand sanitiser and face coverings are provided. Airport parking and waiting time are built into the price, so there are no hidden costs when you arrive.

At Southampton, your driver helps with baggage while you head to departures. The transfer works for any of the four cruise terminals (Mayflower, City Cruise, Queen Elizabeth II or Ocean), and can also drop you at a Southampton hotel instead if your plans change. Infants can travel in a pram or stroller, and collapsible wheelchairs are accommodated if a companion can assist with boarding.
