Built for the post-cruise reality

A week or two at sea, six checked suitcases, two kids over-tired and a 90-minute customs queue. The last thing a US cruise family wants is to wrestle bags onto a train at Southampton Parkway. Here is what a private transfer fixes.

Cruise-sized luggage capacity

An MPV-7 fits seven cruisers and six large checked suitcases plus carry-ons. An MPV-8 handles a family of six with seven bags and a stroller. One vehicle, no splitting up.

15-minute free wait at the dock

Driver waits FREE for 15 minutes after your requested pickup time. We monitor AIS ship data, so a late docking is never charged. After 15 minutes, waiting is charged at 60p per minute — fully disclosed at booking.

Meet & greet, name board, no taxi rank

Driver waits in the terminal arrivals hall with a name board. No scramble for a black cab on the rank, no surge pricing on a 3,000-passenger turnaround day, no language barrier. Door-to-door to the lobby of any London hotel, Airbnb or B&B.

Fixed price in GBP, locked at booking

Quote the route weeks ahead and the price doesn't move — no surge multipliers on busy disembarkation days. US visitors see the GBP price up front; Stripe converts at the live exchange rate at checkout, so there's no FX surprise.

Free baby and child seats in any MPV

Rear-facing infant carrier, forward-facing toddler seat or booster — UK-approved, fitted by the driver, no extra charge. Disney, Royal Caribbean and NCL families routinely need 2–3 seats; we stock them all.

Door-to-door to your London hotel

Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, Holiday Inn, Premier Inn, Travelodge, serviced apartments, Airbnb stays, B&Bs in Bayswater or Bloomsbury — the driver delivers right to the lobby and helps with bags from boot to reception.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does cruise disembarkation take, and will the driver wait?

Disembarkation typically takes 60–90 minutes from your ship's scheduled dock time — sometimes longer if customs queues are heavy on a busy turnaround day. Choose a pickup time that allows for this: your driver waits FREE for the first 15 minutes after your requested pickup time, monitors AIS ship-tracking data, and stays in the meet-and-greet hall with a name board. After the free 15 minutes, waiting is charged at 60p per minute.

Can you drop us at any London hotel, Airbnb, B&B or apartment?

Yes. We deliver door-to-door to any London address — major hotel chains (Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, Holiday Inn), budget chains (Premier Inn, Travelodge, Ibis), serviced apartments, guest houses, B&Bs and Airbnb rentals. The driver will help with bags from boot to lobby; there are no per-bag fees and no surcharge for residential addresses.

Which vehicle do we need for a family of six with eight cruise suitcases?

An MPV-8 (8-seater) is the right call. It comfortably fits a family of six, seven large checked suitcases, six carry-ons and a folded stroller in one vehicle — no splitting across two cars. For groups of seven, the MPV-7 seats everyone; we do not run 12-seaters. Fixed price per vehicle, not per person.

Are baby and child seats provided?

Free in any MPV. An estate takes one for £10; a saloon or executive car cannot take a child seat at all. Rear-facing infant carriers, forward-facing toddler seats and booster seats. Just tell us at booking how many you need and the ages/weights of the children. We carry UK-approved seats and the driver will fit them before you board.

Is the price fixed in pounds, or do you charge a surge fare on busy cruise days?

One fixed price in GBP, quoted at booking. There is no surge multiplier on disembarkation days — the price you see at quote is what you pay regardless of how many cruisers are queuing for taxis on the rank. We also accept USD cards (Stripe converts at the live rate).

How far in advance can American visitors book a cruise transfer?

You can book up to 12 months ahead and lock in the fixed GBP fare. Most US cruise passengers book at the same time as their cabin — that way the transfer is sorted before the trip and there's no scramble for a taxi on disembarkation day. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup; refer to our terms for late-cancellation policy.

How much does a private transfer from Southampton to a central-London hotel cost?

A saloon (1–3 passengers) is around £125, an MPV-7 (up to 7) around £170 and an MPV-8 around £200. Prices include the driver, fuel, 15-minute free dockside wait, meet & greet and door-to-door delivery. See the individual route pages below for the latest fixed prices per vehicle class.

Do you cover both Southampton and Dover, or just one?

All four major UK cruise ports — Southampton, Dover, Tilbury and Harwich — plus the river-cruise berths on the Thames. Tilbury and Harwich are popular with east-coast Baltic itineraries; Southampton and Dover handle the bulk of transatlantic and Mediterranean traffic.

Can the driver also drop us at a London airport after the cruise?

Yes — cruise port → London hotel → airport is a common booking pattern. Add a stop on the quote page and the driver will wait at the hotel while you check in or refresh, then continue to Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton or London City. A multi-stop transfer is far simpler than two separate taxi rides.

Do you provide return transfers to the cruise terminal?

Yes — many bookings are round-trip: pickup from your London hotel two or three hours before all-aboard, drop-off at the terminal gangway. Book the return alongside the outbound and we lock both prices in at the same time. Same fleet, same drivers, same fixed-price guarantee.
