How to book coach transfers (return to Southampton) 

Cruise Connect offers coach transfers to and from your ship from 50 collection and drop-off points throughout the UK. 

Return coach transfers are available on Southampton round-trip holidays of 7 nights or more. They’re included with Select Price bookings. If you’ve booked a Saver or Early Saver price, you’ll need to pay for this separately. 

To check prices or book, contact the Cruise Connect on 0344 338 8690 (local call charges apply) or visit www.intercruises.com/cruiseconnect.  

If you wish to use this service, you must contact Cruise Connect no later than 35 days in advance of your departure. 

 

 
Aim to arrive at the coach stand 15 - 20 minutes before departure.

How to book a coach with Select Price

If you’ve chosen Select Price, you can select coach travel as your included benefit (on cruises of 7 nights or more). You can choose between on-board spending money, car parking in Southampton, or return coach travel. 

Let us know at the time of booking if you’d like to choose coach travel. 

You’ll then need to contact Cruise Connect directly on 0344 338 8690 (local call charges apply), or via email on cruiseconnect@intercruises.com. Please note that you’ll need your booking reference, ship and departure dates when booking your transfer. 

A coach booking must be made at least 48 hours after your initial cruise booking with us, and made at least 35 days before departure.

Are there airport-port shuttle transfers for fly-cruise holidays?

We offer a complimentary coach service between the airport and the port on selected Fly-cruise holidays. Please let us or your travel agent know at the time of booking if you’d like to use this service. Spaces are limited and must be booked in advance.
