Southampton shorex on debarkation day - NCL specifically?

[lamb616]

Don't most cruise lines offer tours on debarkation day - ending at the airport - for those of us with evening flights? I know I've seen it in the past, but I've never had an evening flight before. Now I do, and theres nothing offered so far. We're only 3 months out.

Some cruise lines offer a tour-transfer from ship to LHR (or central London) via a stop at Stonehenge.

 

The only independently-operated coach tour-transfers that I'm aware of from Southampton cruise terminals to LHR (or into London for those taking a few post-cruise days) are by International Friends, a long-established & trusted coach tour operator.

 

They service all but the smallest cruise ships arriving in Southampton and are well-received on Cruise Critic.
They offer

- Stonehenge-only for those who need to be at LHR at 1.30 to 2pm,

- Salisbury + Stonehenge + Windsor for those who need to be at LHR by 4.30 - 5pm,

- Bath & Windsor for those who need to be at LHR by 5 - 5.30pm

- Cotswolds villages for those who need to be at LHR by 4.45 to 5.15pm

If you choose one which includes Stonehenge it is important to book your Stonehenge admission with your tour - Stonehenge operates restricted numbers and pay-at-the-gate can be significantly delayed or even declined at busy times. Tickets issued by coach operators (this includes ship-sponsored coaches and the Stonehenge ho-ho) permit entry at any time.

 

(Their simple direct cruise terminal to LHR transfers are no better value than most ship-sponsored transfers, and for 2+ passengers a private transfer using one of a number of taxi operators is actually cheaper.)

Those are fabulous, thank you!  I was hoping more for just sights around London since we've never been to London at all.  But if not, one of those will be great.
