Transfers from Southampton

I am aware of the "Cunard Coach" services to Southampton from Victoria Station and from Heathrow.  Does Cunard provide similar services in the reverse direction?  Apologies for asking such a simple question, but if this is addressed on the (US) website it has eluded me.

 

And do the coaches to Southampton run only on days of a TA departure (or arrival), or for every Cunard cruise to or from Southampton?

The only way I know to find out about Cunard coach transfers on the US web site is to actually start a booking. Then there is a section to add transfers to the booking, both pre-voyage and post-voyage. Every voyage beginning and/or ending at Southampton that I've checked offers these coach transfers (not just crossings).

 

Pre-Voyage Coach Transfers to Southampton

Transfer St Pancras To Port
Transfer Victoria To Port
Transfer Heathrow To Port
Transfer Gatwick To Port

 

Post-Voyage Coach Transfers from Southampton

Transfer Port To St Pancras
Transfer Port To Victoria
Transfer Port To Heathrow
Transfer Port To Gatwick

Is there a charge for these transfers?  Does anyone know how much, if any?

 

For US bookings, the charges seem to vary by the date of the voyage.

 

Here is what I am seeing on the Cunard US website for coach transfers on most 2019 voyages (price per person).

 

Pre-Voyage Coach Transfers to Southampton

Transfer St Pancras To Port - $40
Transfer Victoria To Port - $40
Transfer Heathrow To Port - $80
Transfer Gatwick To Port - $100

 

Post-Voyage Coach Transfers from Southampton

Transfer Port To St Pancras - $40
Transfer Port To Victoria - $40
Transfer Port To Heathrow - $60
Transfer Port To Gatwick - $60

 

Here is what I am seeing on the Cunard US website for coach transfers on most 2020 voyages (price per person).

 

Pre-Voyage Coach Transfers to Southampton

Transfer St Pancras To Port - $70
Transfer Victoria To Port - $70
Transfer Heathrow To Port - $80
Transfer Gatwick To Port - $90

 

Post-Voyage Coach Transfers from Southampton

Transfer Port To St Pancras - $70
Transfer Port To Victoria - $70
Transfer Port To Heathrow - $80
Transfer Port To Gatwick - $90

 

These are the prices for the Cunard coach transfers when booked in advance. The post-voyage transfers can also be booked on board from the tour office, usually for a somewhat higher price.

I cannot find this information.

Blue Marble had come up with his costs by placing a 'dummy' booking on the website.  I just tried it, however, and the only option was a 'Transfer', with no specifics as to the destination. I would have suggested trying the Voyage Personalizer. But I just checked to see if I could add a transfer to my booking, and the only option was a car rental!

I've never seen the facility to view or book Cunard transfers on the Voyage Personaliser (now known as "My Cunard") in the past. I don't have an active booking to check myself, but apparently that's still the case.

 

For the May 29th westbound crossing @freddy beach cruiser is asking about, I'm not seeing much for Cunard transfers during the booking process either. Here's all I'm seeing when starting a booking for that crossing on the Cunard US website.

 

Before your voyage (Southampton, England, UK).

Transfers

Airport to Ship.

Group Transfer Airport To Port     Additional $50 (US dollars per person)

 

After your voyage (New York, NY, USA).

There are no transfers available in this port.
