Carnival Cruise transfer FAQ
How much is a Heathrow to Southampton transfer for a Carnival sailing?+
From £170 for a Saloon. Carnival "Fun Ship" families typically book MPV-7 at £240 — fits 7 passengers with cruise luggage. Far cheaper than Carnival's official transfer for a family of 4.
Which Southampton terminal does Carnival use?+
Carnival ships use Mayflower Terminal or Ocean Terminal at Southampton depending on the rotation. The assigned terminal is in your Carnival documents 7–14 days before sailing.
How long is the drive?+
~1 hour 20 minutes via the M3. We aim for terminal arrival 90 minutes before Carnival's boarding window.
Are VIFP Club priority benefits factored in?+
Yes — Platinum and Diamond VIFP Club members have priority boarding. Tell us your tier at booking and we time the arrival window to your priority slot.
Are free child seats included?+
Free in any MPV. An estate takes one for £10; a saloon or executive car cannot take a child seat at all, so book an MPV if a child seat is needed. Rear-facing infant, forward-facing toddler and booster seats on request. Carnival skews family-heavy; child seats are common bookings.
Do you tip the driver in the UK?+
No tipping expected — the quoted price is the all-in price.
Can we add a Stonehenge / Windsor stop?+
Yes — see the dedicated [embarkation tour](/heathrow-to-southampton-with-stonehenge-stop). Popular with Carnival US passengers on Mediterranean and Iberia itineraries.
Do you handle the return transfer too?+
Yes — book both legs at the same time. AIS ship tracking on the return; first 45 minutes of dockside waiting is free.
