London Hotel to Southampton Cruise Port Transfer

This private transfer takes you directly from your London hotel to the Southampton cruise terminal, about 80 miles (129km) away. It is a door to door service with a professional English speaking driver, no shared buses and no waiting for other passengers.

Each person may bring one large suitcase and one personal item, such as a backpack or purse. If you have additional bags, oversized items, golf clubs or mobility equipment, contact us before booking so we can arrange the right vehicle.

Vehicle size is matched to your group: sedans for one to two passengers, minivans for three to six, and minibuses for seven to eight. All vehicles are air-conditioned, non-smoking and licensed for private transport.

This is a direct transfer with no stops. Guests who want to see Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, Bath or Salisbury along the way should contact us about our London to Southampton touring options instead, which combine the transfer with guided sightseeing.

For larger groups that exceed our standard vehicle capacity, we can arrange additional vehicles or a larger coach. Use the group request button on this page or contact us with your group size and travel date for a custom quote.

5 of 5 Review Location- London to Southampton June 7, 2026
Reviewer: Dannelle M from Mission Viejo, California  
Again, Private Shore Trips did not disappoint. Been using them since 2009. Steven is so great to work with - and his team of tour guides all over Europe have been amazing. This time we used them in London, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Belfast. David in London, Ricky in Edinburgh, Ricky and Graeme in Glasgow and Paul in Belfast. All were personable, friendly, very knowledgeable, and flexible.

Reviewer: Jeremy K from Marion, IA  
Thanks for asking. They were good. The first driver was really nice and helpful and a good guy. The other driver was fine but not as nice. He was fine though and both were on time and the vehicles were comfortable as well. Very happy we chose you as both worked out great.

We did enjoy ourselves and I would highly recommend your tour company to anyone. The driver was really nice and very efficient getting us to all of the places that we wanted to see in the short time that we were in London. The guide was quite knowledgeable and friendly.

5 of 5 Review Location- London to Southampton September 7, 2025
Reviewer: Ed J from Ed J. Ventura CA  
Just returned from London yesterday. Just wanted to let you know that all went well and the guides were outstanding. Had a fabulous time and looking forward to working with you again. The guides were very professional and on time. One was 30 minutes late, but we forgave him... He turned out to be a very good guide. I think it was in Belfast. Leaving for Honolulu for the month of August Wed, so have a lot to do before that date. Thanks again.

Reviewer: Riley D from Boston  
So we started at Westminster Abbey, took in the views of Big Ben and Parliament, and then headed to the Tower of London. The history is incredible! My mother could not walk anymore so Emma recommended the cutest cafe where she stayed while we finished the tour. Emma was jsut an outstanding guidefriendly, knowledgeable, and fun!
