Private car from London to Portsmouth International Port · Fixed from £250 · Direct, no changes · All cruise lines
Portsmouth International Port is one of the UK's major cruise departure terminals on the south Hampshire coast. P&O Cruises, MSC Cruises, Royal Caribbean, and Fred Olsen Cruise Lines all operate sailings from Portsmouth to the Mediterranean, Atlantic Islands, and Northern Europe. The port is approximately 75 miles from central London and 90 miles from Heathrow — a 90-minute drive via the M3 and A3(M).
Portsmouth and Southampton are two separate ports 25 miles apart. Always check your cruise confirmation carefully — P&O, MSC, and Royal Caribbean all operate from both. Booking the wrong port transfer is a common mistake. We cover both ports from any London pickup location.
South Western Railway trains run from London Waterloo to Portsmouth Harbour in approximately 90 minutes. However, cruise passengers with full luggage allowances (often 2–4 large suitcases per person) find the train difficult — no dedicated luggage space, busy weekend trains, and a further taxi ride from Portsmouth Harbour to the cruise terminal itself. Our private car goes directly from your door to the terminal entrance with all luggage handled throughout. For a couple or family, the total cost competes with train fares once you factor in the terminal taxi.
Transatlantic cruise passengers arriving at Heathrow or Gatwick and connecting directly to Portsmouth are among our most common bookings. We collect at your terminal, assist with luggage, and drive directly to the cruise terminal without going via central London. Heathrow to Portsmouth takes approximately 90–110 minutes via M3. Gatwick to Portsmouth is 75–90 minutes via A27/M27.
