Southampton Shore Excursions - Round Trip Day Trips to London, Bath, Stonehenge, Salisbury & Oxford
Southampton cruise port sits on the Solent approximately 80 miles southwest of London, with five of England's most visited destinations within 90 minutes by private vehicle - making it one of the most rewarding round trip shore excursion ports on any British Isles cruise itinerary. Every Southampton shore excursion listed here is a round trip - you depart from Southampton cruise port, spend the day at your chosen destination, and return to the ship in the evening. All tours run 8 to 8.5 hours and include a Licensed Blue Badge Guide, the official government-accredited qualification for guiding in England. Our most popular Southampton to London day trip departs the cruise port, drives into central London for a panoramic driving tour with photo stops at Buckingham Palace, Westminster, Tower Bridge, and the South Bank, with time for a pub lunch before returning to Southampton. The Southampton to Bath and Stonehenge day trip is the strongest combination tour - Stonehenge, the 5,000-year-old prehistoric monument on Salisbury Plain, is 45 minutes from Southampton cruise port, and Bath is 30 minutes beyond it. Both together fill a perfect 8-hour round trip.
The Southampton to Bath day trip focuses exclusively on the Georgian city built around Britain's only natural hot spring - Bath Abbey, the Roman Baths dating to the 1st century AD, and the Royal Crescent. The Southampton to Stonehenge and Salisbury day trip pairs the prehistoric monument with Salisbury Cathedral, which contains the best-preserved original copy of Magna Carta and Britain's tallest spire. The Southampton to Oxford day trip visits the University of Oxford - one of the oldest universities in the world - with a walking tour through Christ Church college, the Bodleian Library, and the medieval lanes of the city centre. All Southampton round trip shore excursions include our back-to-ship guarantee and are available with a $50 deposit.
