The stress-free way to start your cruise
From home to your cabin – as effortlessly as possible
Your cruise should be stress-free, from the time you leave home to the time you get back. So we off er several ways to get to your ship, get on board and into your cabin – then we can start making you feel special!
Departing from a UK port Your point of embarkation depends on the cruise: our ships leave from Dover, Southampton, Portsmouth, Liverpool, Greenock or Rosyth. At each of our ports we work constantly to improve the facilities to make boarding as easy and eff ortless as possible. Dover and Southampton terminals have fast and effi cient check-in areas, including departure lounges with seating and cafés where you can relax, and smart washrooms.
In most cases, we off er coach connections between the port and local main-line rail stations, or you can use a taxi service if you prefer. If you drive yourself to the terminal, you can book your parking space in advance (no reservation is needed at Newcastle). When you get to the port, our
helpful staff will be on hand to make your transfer as smooth as possible.
You can fl y to either Southampton airport or one of the London airports for Dover, Portsmouth or Southampton departures, and we will provide transfers between the airport and the cruise terminal. Ask at the time of booking for prices and availability of domestic fl ights.
For further details of pre-departure options, including regional fl ight connections for UK departures, coach transfers and departure port hotels, please see pages 152-155.
