A cruise holiday starts the moment you leave home, so it should not begin with a struggle on the train with two weeks of luggage. We drive Epsom passengers to every cruise port in the south and east of England, drop you at your terminal, and can be waiting when your ship returns.

Choosing a vehicle for cruise luggage
Cruise luggage is bigger than airport luggage: formal wear, extra shoes and longer trips all add up. As a guide:
- Two people, two large cases: a saloon, or an estate for extra room.
- Two people, three or four large cases: an estate.
- Four or more people: an MPV or a larger vehicle.
Each vehicle on the booking form shows how many large cases it holds.
Timing your arrival
Every cruise line gives passengers a check-in time. Arriving much earlier usually means waiting, and arriving late can mean a rush. We plan your pickup from Epsom so you arrive at the start of your slot, with an allowance for traffic on the M25, the M3 or the Dartford Crossing.
Collecting you when you dock
Ships dock early in the morning and passengers leave in groups. Book the return with the ship and docking date, and the driver will meet you outside the terminal once you have your bags. Book both journeys together and the return is 5% cheaper.
Which port?
Southampton is the main UK cruise port and the most common choice. Dover suits Continental itineraries. Portsmouth handles ferries and some cruise ships. Tilbury is the London cruise terminal, and Harwich is used for ferries to the Netherlands and northern European cruises.
