Why Cruise From Southampton
More Choice
Being such a big port, multiple cruise terminals with good facilities allow several major cruise lines to be in port at any one time, and with the services, fuelling and contracting staff, etc. all being set up already, it's relatively straightforward for a company to run a cruise from the city. Brands include the luxury Cunard Cruises, as well as more budget friendly options like P&O Cruises.
Convenience
Southampton is on a mainline train line with direct flights into London and along the south coast. Taxis park right outside and depending on which terminal you're departing/arriving from the journey can take between 5-15 minutes. In fact the Horizon Cruise Terminal is actually only a 10-15 minute walk away (bear in mind you'll be carrying your suitcases).
No Flights
If you hate airports, flying or just prefer to avoid a fly cruise, cruising from the UK ensures you skip all that stress and hassle. There are a number of cruise terminals including Mayflower Cruise Terminal, QEII, Ocean Cruise Terminal, and the ultra modern Horizon Cruise Terminal which opened in 2021, all of which offer an easy luggage drop off and check-in experience before boarding.
