Door-to-gangway Southampton cruise transfers with a fixed fare, luggage help and 24/7 cover — booked in seconds.
Fixed fares, professional drivers and 24/7 cover across London and beyond.
Airport Move runs fixed-fare transfers between London and Southampton's cruise terminals, with room for all your luggage and pickups planned around your sailing. We also cover airport-to-port journeys, so you can fly in and go straight to your ship. The fare is quoted before you book.
Sailing from Southampton usually means an early, luggage-heavy start, so a door-to-gangway car at a fixed fare takes the pressure off. We help with the bags, plan the run around your check-in time, and there is no airport-style parking to sort at the other end.
Southampton is the UK's busiest cruise port, around 80 miles south-west of London via the M3. Cruise luggage is bulky, embarkation runs to a schedule and the terminals are spread along the waterfront, so it pays to have a driver who knows which berth you need and arrives with space for every case. We get you to the right terminal in good time, every time.
Booking takes about two minutes and your fare is fixed from the start. Here is how a journey works, step by step.
Enter your pickup and drop-off for your Southampton Cruise journey on our booking page, or call us. You get an instant, fixed price — no meters and no surge pricing.
Choose a saloon, estate, MPV or 8-seater, add child seats or meet and greet, and confirm in under a minute. We send your driver's name, number and car before pickup.
On airport journeys we track your flight by number and adjust the pickup to your real landing time. Your driver can wait in arrivals with a name board and help with your luggage.
Your driver takes you directly to your destination and you pay online, by card in the car, or on account — always at the fixed fare you were quoted.
One fixed fare, quoted before you book, covers the whole journey. Here is what comes as standard.
Drivers who know the port layout.
Estates and MPVs for extra luggage.
Fixed fare with flight tracking included.
A planned, fixed-fare run to your ship with space for every case.
Delivery to the correct cruise terminal.
Vehicles sized for cruise luggage.
Pickups planned around embarkation times.
Airport-to-port transfers with flight tracking.
Return pickups timed for disembarkation.

Southampton is the busiest cruise port in the country, with multiple terminals used by different cruise lines, so confirming exactly which one your sailing departs from is worth doing before you travel — a driver briefed on the right terminal avoids any last-minute confusion in what can be a very busy embarkation area on peak sailing days. The M3 is the main route from London, at its busiest with weekday commuter traffic, so an embarkation day falling on a weekday morning is where a little extra time in the schedule helps most.
Because Southampton departures are often week-long or longer cruises, luggage tends to be heavier than for a typical trip — frequently a full case per passenger, sometimes more for longer voyages — so confirming your group size and luggage at booking means an estate, MPV or 8-seater is arranged from the outset rather than a saloon proving too small when you arrive at the terminal.
With multiple ships often departing on the same day, terminal areas can get busy in the hours before a popular sailing, so building in extra time beyond the cruise line's stated check-in window is a sensible precaution rather than cutting it fine.
Every Airport Move car booked for Southampton is a licensed minicab in the legal sense — pre-arranged rather than hailed, with the driver and vehicle each separately licensed for private hire. On a day when several ships are sailing and the port is at its busiest, that advance booking is exactly what guarantees your car is there for you specifically, rather than competing with everyone else trying to find transport on the day.
The fare is fixed and quoted upfront from your exact address to your cruise terminal, so it is set before you travel. Get an instant price online or by phone; it includes your luggage and waiting time.
