Transfers from London Heathrow Airport to Southampton
Southampton is the port city on England's south coast where the cruise ships dock, and for many arrivals at London Heathrow Airport the drive down is the link between flight and sailing. The airport is on the western side of London; Southampton lies to the south-west, so the route avoids the capital and heads down the motorway through Hampshire. Cruise passengers with the luggage a voyage needs, families arriving for the Isle of Wight ferry, and visitors to the New Forest book a private car because it goes from terminal to terminal without a change.

About this transfer
The road south-west from Heathrow leaves the orbital motorway early and runs through Surrey and Hampshire, past Winchester, and comes down into Southampton from the north. The city is built around its water: cruise terminals and container docks on the western side, the old walls and the Bargate in the centre, and the ferry to the Isle of Wight from the quay below the old town. If you are joining a ship, give the cruise terminal by name as the drop-off, because the terminals are spread around the docks and your cruise documents say which is yours. Set the pickup time from the landing with passport control and baggage added, and check it against the ship's embarkation window. Count every case; cruise luggage is where vehicles fill up. For a stay in the city, the hotels shown are Southampton's. The return, Southampton to London Heathrow Airport, is a separate search; if you are coming off a ship, set the pickup for after you expect to be off with your bags, not for the ship's arrival in port.
