Minicabees runs door-to-terminal transfers for Princess Cruises passengers sailing from Southampton. Because the port allocates terminals per sailing rather than per cruise line, this page explains how to find yours and makes sure your driver goes to the right dock gate.

Princess Cruises transfers to Southampton

Minicabees runs fixed-fare transfers to the Port of Southampton for Princess Cruises passengers, from London, the airports and across the UK. We price the journey before you book and build in a buffer for embarkation day, so you arrive inside your boarding window rather than queuing outside it.

Which terminal does Princess Cruises use?

This is the question that causes the most trouble, and the honest answer is that there is no fixed answer. Southampton allocates berths per sailing, not per cruise line, so the same ship can leave from different terminals on different dates. A page that tells you Princess Cruises always departs from one terminal is guessing.
Go by the terminal printed on your boarding pass. It is issued when online check-in opens, usually around 21 days before departure. Princess confirms the terminal in the Cruise Personaliser and the MedallionClass app in the weeks before you sail.
Tell us that terminal when you book and we will set the drop-off and the dock gate to match. If it changes, call us and we will change it at no charge.

Southampton’s five cruise terminals

The Eastern and Western Docks are separate parts of the port with different entrances, so the dock gate matters as much as the postcode:

Ocean Cruise Terminal

Berth 46, Cunard Road, SO14 3QN, Eastern Docks, via Dock Gate 4.

QEII Cruise Terminal

Berths 38 and 39, Test Road, SO14 3GG, Eastern Docks, via Dock Gate 4.

Mayflower Cruise Terminal

Berth 106, Herbert Walker Avenue, SO15 0GN, Western Docks, via Dock Gate 20.

City Cruise Terminal

Berth 101, Solent Road, SO15 1HJ, Western Docks, via Dock Gate 8.

Horizon Cruise Terminal

Berth 102, West Bay Road, SO15 1AW, Western Docks, via Dock Gate 10.

If your paperwork gives a berth number rather than a terminal name, berths 38 and 39 are QEII, 46 is Ocean, 101 is City, 102 is Horizon and 106 is Mayflower.

Princess Cruises ships at Southampton

Princess Cruises sails Sky Princess and Majestic Princess from Southampton in 2026, with Majestic Princess running its first roundtrip Southampton season.

At the terminal

Private hire vehicles can drop off directly outside each cruise terminal, and there is a taxi rank outside each one for the return. Your driver helps the cases from the boot to the porters rather than leaving you to manage them on the pavement.
For the journey home, give us the ship and the disembarkation date. Passengers come off in waves, so we agree a pickup time against your allocated group rather than the ship’s arrival time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cruise passengers usually travel with more than airline luggage, so tell us the case count when you book. A saloon takes two large cases, an estate or MPV considerably more, and an eight-seater suits groups with full cruise luggage.

Call or email us with the new terminal and we will change the booking at no charge. Changing the drop-off point within Southampton does not alter your fixed fare.

Terminal allocation in Southampton is made per sailing rather than per cruise line, so it varies between departures. Check the terminal printed on your boarding pass, issued when online check-in opens roughly 21 days before you sail, and tell us when you book.

Princess confirms it in the Cruise Personaliser and the MedallionClass app ahead of sailing, and it is printed on your boarding pass. Give us that terminal when you book and we will set the dock gate to match.

Ocean and QEII are in the Eastern Docks via Dock Gate 4. Mayflower is via Dock Gate 20, City via Dock Gate 8 and Horizon via Dock Gate 10, all in the Western Docks. We set the gate from the terminal you give us.

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.
