Question
Dear Sir
I am planning to board a cruise ship from Southampton
But I need to travel from Heathrow to the docks
Can you suggest the fastest and/or the cheapest way to do so?

Thanks

Ilyas

Answer
Hi - thanks for your question!

Depending on day / time and how much luggage you have, the easiest and cheapest would be a coach from Heathrow to Southampton then a taxi to the ship.

The coach is about £15, with the taxi costing less than £10.

Do let me know what time / day you are arriving and when you need to leave Southampton and I'll be happy to get more information.

Happy to help!

Expertise

As a full time, UK based, travel journalist, I travel almost constantly around the whole of the UK, searching out restaurants, hotels and "must see" places. Visitors for both business and pleasure are welcome to ask questions. I almost always travel by public transport, so questions on rail, air and coach / bus travel are also very welcome. I also regularly write about and use the "Eurostar" rail service between London and Continental Europe - which uses a tunnel under the English Channel - so I am able to help with any questions there, too.
