FAQ
Cambridge to Southampton: questions and answers
How much is a transfer for Cambridge to Southampton?
The price depends on the cruise terminal and the exact address in Cambridge. Enter both in the form and the fare is worked out before you send the booking. It is for the whole car. Dover cruise transfers to Gatwick are on dovertogatwicktaxi.com, and Dover to Heathrow is on rideconnectuk.com.
How long does Cambridge to Southampton take by car?
The road journey is about 140 miles and usually takes 2 h 30 min to 3 h 15 min, mostly on the M3, M25 and M11. A ship day can add time at the terminal gate.
What time should we leave for the ship?
Take the journey time of 2 h 30 min to 3 h 15 min, add the boarding time on your ticket, and a margin for the terminal gate. Set that as the pickup time.
Which Southampton terminals are covered?
Mayflower, Horizon, City, Ocean and QEII. They are not all in the same dock, so choose the terminal on the ticket rather than the cruise line's usual berth.
We have cruise luggage. Is a saloon enough?
Choose the number of large bags in the form. An MPV has more room. For a bigger group, call or WhatsApp dispatch and we will price it with you.
How can I pay?
Cash to the driver, bank transfer, or card online when the route has a price. You choose in the second step.
Can I book the return to the ship?
Yes. Tick "Add the return journey", or use the Southampton to Cambridge page.
