Good to know
Before you sail
A few things that make sailing day easier.
Arrive in your check-in slot
Your cruise line gives you a check-in time. We plan your pickup so you arrive within it, with a margin for traffic on the motorway.
Check your terminal
Ports such as Southampton and Dover have more than one cruise terminal, and the terminal is set for each sailing. Tell us the one on your cruise documents.
Cruise luggage takes room
Cruises often mean bigger cases. Tell us how many bags you have, and we’ll send an estate, MPV or 7-seater if you need one.
