Southampton Cruise Terminal, the ways to travel – train, coach or car?

We have friends who are as hard to prise from their car as they are their phone. And, we admit, with a large family it may be the cheapest way to travel. Bought in advance the coach is cheapest, and easy, but still subject to road problems and delays, and the train, which we examine this time, is the fastest and most comfortable allowing walking space and a buffet car.

Southampton Station’s proximity to cruise terminals and the London Journey is worth looking at because the roads are now so crowded and unreliable a road journey can put you in the wrong temperament to start a holiday. There are five main options to travel to your ship. 1. Book a taxi all the way, sometimes shared, using the same car company that ships like SAGA do. three main – door to door. 2. Drive and park. All of the car parks are well organised and have runs from the car park to your ship at advertised intervals. 3. The coach, from various national pick-up points like London Victoria to Southampton Coach station. We have a video on that service =. Map seen here as the coach and train stations are close. 4. Train. This can be one ticket, but the train to Southampton is normally from Waterloo, so travelling from North, West, or East can mean changing from one London station to Waterloo – best by tube. 5. You can fly if a long way away. Southampton has an airport. 6. You might find a ship repositioning, that is unlikely to work both ways.

Whilst we made our coach film years ago, it has not changed and we still use the coach most of the time.

The train and coach for the two of us normally works out to be cheaper than cruise car parking, that is without the fuel although ours is electric so the additional. fuel. cost would be minimal.
