FAQ
Gatwick to Southampton: questions and answers
How much is a transfer for Gatwick to Southampton?

How long does Gatwick to Southampton take by car?
The road journey is about 100 miles and usually takes 1 h 45 min to 2 h 30 min, mostly on the M3, M25 and M23. A ship day can add time at the terminal gate.
What time should we leave for the ship?

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.
