Arriving at London Heathrow (LHR)
An overnight flight from Miami lands you at Heathrow in the morning, which is ideal for a same-day transfer to Southampton when your ship sails late afternoon. We track your flight, wait 60 minutes free after landing, and if your driver sees a delay they move your pickup automatically.
After landing, follow signs for Arrivals and UK Border. US citizens need an approved UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) and can typically use the ePassport gates. Collect your bags, walk through the green "Nothing to Declare" channel, and your driver is waiting in the public arrivals hall with a name board.
Arriving at London Gatwick (LGW)
Flying into Gatwick instead? It's about 1 hour 45 minutes to Southampton and under 2 hours to Dover. Same fixed price, same meet and greet.
Two drivers, one seamless trip
With a Complete Journey booking, your Miami driver's details arrive the day before you fly, and your UK driver's name, photo and mobile number reach you by WhatsApp and SMS before you land. Switch off airplane mode, connect to free airport Wi-Fi, and message your UK driver from your US phone with no UK SIM card. Both drivers help with your luggage at the curb. Tipping in the UK is appreciated but not expected the way it is in the US.
Southampton & Dover cruise dock drop-offs
Cruise is the heart of South Florida travel, and many Miami and Fort Lauderdale travelers sail from Southampton for British Isles, Norway and Mediterranean voyages, or on spring and fall repositioning cruises that cross the Atlantic between South Florida and England. Cruise luggage adds up fast: formal wear, excursion gear, two weeks of clothes. Our 8-Seater MPV carries up to 8 large suitcases, so a family of four travels with room to spare. We drop you at the correct terminal (Ocean, Mayflower, City or Horizon) and, on disembarkation day, collect you from the terminal and take you back to Heathrow for your flight home to Miami.
At Southampton we drop you at your ship's terminal (Ocean, Mayflower, City or Horizon) and at Dover directly at the cruise terminal on the Western Docks. Give us your ship name and we confirm the terminal. See our full London to Southampton cruise transfer guide.
