Cunard Southampton to London Private Transfers
Disembarking Queen Mary 2, Queen Anne or Queen Victoria? Travel directly from Southampton Cruise Port to your Central London hotel, apartment or private address with a pre-booked private vehicle and professional driver.
EC Minibus has provided UK airport and cruise transfers since 2006. We help Cunard guests, including visitors arriving from the United States and Canada, arrange comfortable door-to-door transportation after their voyage. Your transfer is private: the vehicle is reserved for your party, not shared with other passengers.
Southampton Cruise Port to Central London
After leaving your Cunard ship, your driver will meet you at the agreed collection point, assist with your luggage and take you to your booked Central London destination. There is no need to arrange a separate train journey or manage your cruise cases through London stations.
Direct to Your Hotel
Travel to your Central London hotel, serviced apartment or private address in one vehicle.
Private Price per Vehicle
Choose a vehicle for your party size and luggage. Pricing is per vehicle, not per passenger.
Cruise Pickup Assistance

Space for Cruise Luggage
From sedans to 8-seater vans, select the capacity that suits your cases and carry-ons.
Transfers for Cunard's Southampton Ships
Our Southampton-to-London private transfer service is suitable for guests arriving on Queen Mary 2, Queen Anne and Queen Victoria. Whether you are finishing a transatlantic crossing, a Norwegian Fjords cruise or another Cunard voyage, the pickup procedure is tailored to your ship's arrival.
Queen Mary 2: We normally arrange to meet guests inside the terminal at the designated meeting point, with a name sign. Queen Anne and Queen Victoria: the usual meeting point is outside the terminal at the agreed pickup area. Your booking confirmation will provide the applicable instructions.

Where Will Your Driver Meet You in Southampton?
Once you have disembarked and collected your luggage, follow the pickup instructions provided with your booking. Your driver will display a name sign and help load your bags before departing for London.
Southampton's cruise facilities include City, Ocean, Horizon, Mayflower and QEII cruise terminals. You do not need to know your terminal in advance; provide your ship name and arrival date, and we will identify the appropriate collection location. Terminal assignments can change.
Waiting allowance: 30 minutes from your agreed pickup time are included. Additional waiting is charged at £10 per 10 minutes, plus any applicable parking charges.
What Time Should You Book Your Cunard Pickup?
For many Southampton cruise arrivals, we generally recommend a collection time between 7:30 AM and 8:30 AM, where the ship's disembarkation arrangements allow. This is guidance rather than a guaranteed disembarkation time: your actual pickup should reflect your ship's schedule, baggage collection and any Cunard instructions.
You can request a later pickup if you prefer. When travelling with a larger group or with substantial luggage, allow enough time to leave the ship and reach the meeting point comfortably.
How Long Does Southampton to London Take?
A direct road transfer from Southampton Cruise Port to Central London typically takes approximately 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes, depending on traffic and your exact drop-off address. Journey times can be longer during busy periods.
Your driver will take you to your specified destination rather than dropping you at a railway station or a central meeting point.
