Southampton to London

[dreamstravel]

Just booked a transatlantic arriving 10/25 in Southampton. What are the options regarding transferring from Southampton to London? Should I immediately book transfers thru Cunard or are there other options?:confused:

Are you going to an airport or into the city? There are several threads about this on the Cunard board. Briefly your options are:

 

1. Cunard transfer. Pricey but you do get off the ship earlier and they drop you at the terminal you're flying out of rather than a central point.

 

2. Private driver. Very pricey but may be reasonable if you have several people sharing and/or want to go to a location not covered by the Cunard transfers.

 

3. Train. Pay ~5 GBP for a taxi to the train station, then ~20 (?) for the train into the city. Not reccommended if you have a lot of luggage, but doable if you travel light.

 

4. National Express Coach. Pay ~5 GBP for a taxi to the coach station then ~12 GBP for the coach ticket. Drops you at the Central Bus Station at Heathrow or you can take it into the city, connecting through the airport. Cheap and easy, but only if you don't have a lot of luggage.
