Gatwick Airport to Poole Quay, via the M25 and M3.

Gatwick to the Bournemouth cruise port is about 118 miles and roughly two and a quarter hours. Cruise calls for the Bournemouth area are handled at Poole Harbour, a few miles west, so that is where we take you. Fixed fare here, or call +44 20 8050 9020.

The port for Bournemouth is Poole

Worth being clear about before you book. Bournemouth itself has no cruise berth. Ships serving this stretch of coast come into Poole Harbour, where the South Quay terminal handles cruise passengers, with a passenger lounge and the town centre a short walk away.
Poole's berth takes vessels of around 210 to 220 metres, which covers small and mid-sized ships. Larger vessels calling in this area may be handled differently, so check your cruise documentation for the berth and tell us what it says.

The Gatwick to Poole route

M23 north to the M25, west to junction 12, then the M3 south west, the M27 west past Southampton and the A31 and A338 down into Poole. Around 118 miles and about 134 minutes.

What tends to affect the time

M25 junctions 7 to 12

The western section, and the biggest variable.

The A31 through the New Forest

Dual carriageway but with speed limits and animals near the road; it is not a stretch to make up time on.

The A338 spur into Bournemouth and Poole

Busy in summer and at both peaks.

Summer weekends

Coastal traffic makes the last twenty miles considerably slower from late morning.

Timing your arrival

Cruise lines give a boarding window rather than a check-in time. Send us the window along with your flight and we will work back from it, allowing for the M25 at that hour rather than quoting you the optimistic drive time.

Practical details

Your driver meets you inside arrivals at your Gatwick terminal with a name board. Add meet and greet when you book if you'd like this; if not, your driver calls you after you land to sort out the pickup point. We track the inbound flight so delays move the pickup, and the first 60 minutes after landing are free.
Over two hours with cruise luggage, vehicle choice matters. Two people with two 23kg suitcases each want an estate at minimum; a family or group with hold bags should book the eight seater. Tell us the number of cases when you book.

Frequently Asked Questions

We charge a fixed fare for every Gatwick to Bournemouth Cruise Port taxi journey. You see the total price before you book, with no meter running and no hidden extras. Parking, tolls and congestion charges are included in the quoted price.

There is no cruise berth in Bournemouth itself. Cruise calls for this part of the coast are handled at Poole Harbour, a few miles west, at the South Quay terminal.

Around two and a quarter hours for roughly 118 miles by the M25, M3, M27 and A31.

Poole's berth suits small and mid-sized ships up to around 210 to 220 metres. Check your cruise documentation for the berth and tell us what it says, and we will take you to the right place.

To the boarding window your cruise line gave you rather than the sailing time. Send us the window with your flight details.

We track it and move the pickup to your actual landing time, with the first 60 minutes of waiting free.

Yes. Give us the ship and arrival date and we will allow for disembarkation, which takes longer than most people expect.

Cancellations need at least 24 hours' notice to be eligible for a refund, and refunds are subject to a £7 or 10% administration fee, whichever is higher. No refund is issued where notice is under 24 hours, or where the passenger does not show up. To cancel, email or call us and wait for written confirmation; until you have that, the booking still stands.
