Your packing list will depend on whether you’re cruising in the heat of summer or the cooler climes of winter. For the warmer months, we recommend light clothing such as t-shirts, shorts, skirts, sunhats and suncream, as well as a bikini, swimsuit or swim shorts. For footwear, perhaps bring some sandals and flip flops as well as some sensible shoes for when you explore ashore.
&nbsp;
For the winter months, we recommend wrapping up warm, so pack plenty of jumpers and long-sleeved tops, jeans, a raincoat, umbrella, sensible shoes – anything that’ll keep you warm during chilly days and evenings!

'Just back from a cruise on Aurora to Canada and&nbsp;USA. Brilliant holiday. Best of all was the happy, smiley crew.'

'One of the best cruises we have been on.&nbsp;The ports were great in both Canada and&nbsp;USA. Lovely weather helped too.'

Reasons to visit

From the bustling cities of the East Coast to the serene landscapes of the West Coast, United States cruises offer a wide range of destinations. Explore famous landmarks in the USA like the Golden Gate Bridge or&nbsp;<a href="https://www.pocruises.com/ports/new-york-usa">New York's</a>&nbsp;Statue of Liberty and experience the vibrant culture of cities like Miami and New Orleans.

{"metadata_en_GB":{"alt-text":"Miami, Florida, USA"}}

Sprawling Hollywood mansions, the boutique designer brands of Rodeo Drive, San Francisco’s bustling, colourful Chinatown, and the iconic jazz bars of Old Town New Orleans… look forward to a cultural thrill around every street corner. Each destination on a USA cruise holiday is certain to dazzle and inspire.

Rigging clanking against a forest of yacht masts, bright neon-lit city streets, theme parks, sprawling food halls and cosy harbourside eateries, there’s a buzz of energy about these USA cruise ports. Miami’s sandy beaches. The glamour of Los Angeles, and the character of old ‘San Fran’… so much to look forward to.

Usually on a cruise from Southampton, you have at least one full day at sea before you arrive at your first destination, although there are exceptions. We offer a day-by-day view of each of our holidays, so you can check how soon you'll arrive at any destination on your cruise before you even book.

All of Southampton's cruise terminals are centrally located and easily accessible from major UK cities by rail, road and air. Taxis, including Uber, can drop off and pick up from each cruise terminal, and Southampton Central Railway Station is also just a short taxi transfer away. If you choose our Select Price when booking, you'll have the option of choosing a free return coach transfer to Southampton or free parking at your cruise terminal, both of which need pre-booking in advance. Southampton Airport is also connected to the city centre by direct train and bus, so it's easy to reach the cruise terminals if you're flying into Southampton to meet your P&amp;O Cruises ship too.

What are the transfer options to get to Southampton cruise terminals?
