How do I get to Southampton Docks?

If you are travelling by car you will need to follow the signs for 'Docks A33' which will appear as you approach Southampton on either the M27 or the M3. On arrival into Southampton Docks proceed to Dock Gate 4 for Queen Elizabeth II or Ocean terminals, or to Dock Gate 10 for City Cruise or Mayflower terminals. Terminal details will be confirmed prior to the visit.
Free short term car parking is available in the terminals, however, the car park might be busy with guests disembarking the vessel at that time. Please allow plenty of time planning your journey.
By Rail
Southampton is easily accessible by rail with two stations: Southampton Central and Southampton Parkway (from Southampton Airport). The terminals are just a short taxi ride from Southampton Central.
