P&O Cruises is the largest UK-base cruise operator, with six ships using Mayflower Cruise Terminal (Berth 106) as primary.
Common P&O ships
- Britannia
- Iona
- Arvia
- Aurora
- Ventura
- Azura
Most P&O sailings turn over on Saturdays — the busiest cruise day at Southampton.
Chauffeur drop at Mayflower
Mayflower has a drive-through forecourt. On Saturday turnarounds the forecourt is tight — driver may need to circulate 5-10 minutes for entry. We pre-time pickups against your check-in slot rather than the 11am terminal opening.
Pricing
- Local Southampton pickup: per-mile, ~£25-40
- London pickup: per-mile, ~£150-200
- St Pancras pickup: £165 fixed-fare
Vehicle recommendation
For P&O sailings, family-of-4 with full cruise luggage is the most common booking. Standard MPV or Executive MPV depending on preference. Boot space matters — cruise luggage is bulky.
