Question for anyone having sailed NCL from London ( Southampton)

[ontheweb]

We are considering an NCL cruise from there and wonder if there is an excursion back to Heathrow airport from Southampton that includes a stop in Stonehenge.

 

We were booked on a Princess cruise in the summer of 2020 from that port that did have that excursion, and it is something we were looking forward to as Stonehenge is still on the bucket list.

There is a private excursion that does that but it's not cheap.  https://www.viator.com/tours/Southampton/Southampton-to-Heathrow-via-Attraction-Stonehenge-Windsor-Downton-Abbey-etc/d22563-173497P30

We use kevin from kevinclassiccars@ hotmail.com ask for a price probably cheaper than Viator give him disembarkation time and flight time

You could always check out the British board too and ask

We have used Smiths for Airports multiple times both from Heathrow and from Southampton.  Service is excellent and on time.....we always have them stop at a site we choose for 2-3 hours....there is an extra charge, but well worth it.  Last time we stopped at Stonehenge for 2 1/2 hours on our way to Heathrow from Southampton.....time before it was Windsor Castle and town on way to Southampton cruise departure.  We will be using them in 2023 both for stops on way to and from Southampton.  Check their reviews on Tripadvisor.

NCL did offer this option, to Gatwick and Heathrow, pre-COVID. A Shore-Ex desk error kept me from enjoying it, but others said it was worth the cost.

They offered an 8hr "Salisbury & Stonehenge" post-cruise excursion in the past, ending in central London for about $149 or 7hr "Scenic London" ending at Heathrow or Central London for $109.  And you can use your $50 excursion credit to lower the cost. Can't comment on the excursion because the cruise was cancelled.

You can go on the NCL website and get generic port/excursion information - sometimes you can also check to see if an excursion is actually applicable to your specific cruise date.  Also bear in mind that if you are using NCL air, book the excursion (fully refundable) before your flights are ticketed and they will attempt to find a later flight (no guarantee).  If you don't have it booked, chances are you will get a flight that is too early.
