Staying near the port the night before takes the stress out of embarkation day — no early-morning motorway, no worrying about traffic.
Know your terminal
Southampton has several cruise terminals: Ocean, City, Mayflower, QEII and Horizon. Your cruise documents will tell you which one you're sailing from — check before you book a hotel.
Leaving your car for the cruise
Sento has its own cruise parking at Southampton. You can book a hotel for the night before and your cruise parking separately — two bookings, each with its own price and terms.
What to check before you book
- How far is the hotel from your terminal?
- Is there parking at the hotel for the night, and is it charged?
- Breakfast times that work for your check-in slot
