UK Cruise Ports on Ports Direct

Cruise Transfers to Dover

Mon, 01 Jan 2007 00:00:00 +0000

Dover is the UK’s best known cruise port and, for passengers in the south east, one of the easiest to reach — but it is also a long haul from the Midlands and the north, and the drive down through Kent is not how you want to start a holiday. Ports Direct collects you from your front door and delivers you to Dover Cruise Terminal, so the cruise begins the moment you close the front door behind you.

Cruise Transfers to Southampton

Mon, 01 Jan 2007 00:00:00 +0000

Southampton is the UK’s busiest cruise port and the home port for P&O Cruises and Cunard, so for most British cruise passengers it is where the holiday starts. Ports Direct runs door to door transfers to Southampton Cruise Terminal from every part of the UK — you close your front door, and we do the rest.

Why not drive yourself?

Southampton’s cruise terminals sit inside a working dock, and on a busy Saturday several thousand passengers arrive within the same few hours. Parking is expensive for a fortnight, the walk from the car park with luggage is nobody’s idea of a good start, and the car sits there for the duration.

Cruise Transfers to Harwich

Mon, 01 Jan 2007 00:00:00 +0000

Harwich is our local port — our office is in Rayleigh, less than an hour down the Essex coast — and it is one of the ports we have been serving since Ports Direct began in 2007. It is the departure point for many Fred Olsen, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity sailings, and a favourite for Baltic and Norwegian fjord cruises.

Getting to Harwich without the hassle

Harwich International is a straightforward drive from Essex and London, but it is a genuinely long way from the Midlands, the north and the west — and public transport with cruise luggage is not a serious option. Ports Direct collects you from your front door, loads your cases and takes you directly to the Harwich Cruise Terminal, arriving 3-4 hours before sailing.
