Connections to Southampton Airport
There's not a particularly efficient way of reaching the cruise terminal from Southampton Airport, so most cruise passengers (generally carrying plenty of luggage) prefer to take a 20-minute cab ride directly to the cruise terminal. There is public transit from Southampton Central Station, which is a 10-minute train ride from the airport, but this is less efficient.
