Southampton is the UK's leading cruise port and the most direct cruise connection from Heathrow: many passengers land in the morning and sail the same afternoon. Through Zonetransfers, a chauffeur greets you in Heathrow arrivals (T2 to T5) before the run to Southampton from €155 per vehicle.
Southampton is about 105 km from Heathrow, normally 1 h 20 min door to door. The Zonetransfers fare starts at €155 for the car and up to four people, agreed before you fly.

Heathrow's four terminals are far apart, so we rely on your flight number: the chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall of the right one, holding your name.
The Queen's Terminal: Star Alliance airlines such as Lufthansa, United, Air Canada and TAP.
Mostly long-haul: Virgin Atlantic, American, Emirates, Qatar.
South of the runways, home to SkyTeam airlines like Air France–KLM, plus Etihad.
British Airways and Iberia, with its own access from the M25.
We monitor the arrival, so landing early or late is not an issue.
If you cannot spot your chauffeur, the voucher has a line staffed day and night, and +34 654 381 547 works on WhatsApp.
