Trusted Transfers from Ocean Cruise Terminal

an Cruise Terminal is Southampton’s premium cruise facility. Sitting at Berth 46 inside Dock Gate 4 in the Eastern Docks, Ocean was purpose-built to handle the upmarket end of the cruise market — Princess, Celebrity and luxury operators including Silversea and Cunard’s special-itinerary sailings. Paragon Taxis has handled Ocean Terminal passengers for more than 40 years, and we understand the particular rhythm of disembarkation here: fewer passengers per sailing than P&O terminals, but heavier luggage per person and a higher expectation of a smooth, punctual pickup.

Ships Regularly at Ocean Terminal

Ocean Terminal is where you will find most Princess sailings out of Southampton, including Regal Princess and Sky Princess. Celebrity Cruises also berth here regularly with Celebrity Silhouette and other Solstice-class ships. Luxury lines such as Silversea and Seabourn use Ocean for their Southampton turnarounds. The terminal is smaller and quieter than Mayflower or QE2, which usually means a faster disembarkation experience — though peak dates still see all five Southampton terminals running at full capacity.

Getting to and from Ocean Terminal

Ocean Terminal sits alongside QE2 inside Dock Gate 4 at the eastern end of the Port of Southampton. Exit the M27 at Junction 3 and follow A33 signage for the docks. Dock Gate 4 is clearly signed. Once inside the port, signs direct you to Berth 46 for Ocean Terminal specifically — your driver will know the split between QE2 and Ocean within the same gate.

How Your Meet & Greet Works at Ocean Terminal

Your driver will be waiting at the vehicle at the designated pickup point outside Ocean Terminal, holding a name board with your booking reference. Cruise terminal pickup in Southampton takes place outside the terminal building — this is standard Southampton protocol, so once you have cleared the terminal with your luggage, walk through to the pickup area and you will see them waiting. If you cannot spot your driver, WhatsApp or call the number we send with your booking confirmation and they will guide you straight to the vehicle. If you share a WhatsApp number at booking, on most occasions we will also send you a photo of the vehicle with the registration plate visible before you disembark — making it easier to spot at a busy pickup point.

All 5 terminals coverage

Paragon Taxis covers all five Southampton cruise terminals — Queen Elizabeth II, Ocean, City, Horizon, and Mayflower — at the same fixed fares. Your driver will meet you at the pickup point for whichever terminal your ship is assigned to, with no surcharge for terminal choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Ocean Cruise Terminal in Southampton?
Ocean Cruise Terminal is at Berth 46 inside Dock Gate 4, in Southampton’s Eastern Docks — alongside QE2 Terminal, but it is a separate building with its own berth and pickup point. The postcode for Dock Gate 4 is SO14 3QN. Road access is via the M27 Junction 3, then A33 toward the docks.
Which cruise ships use Ocean Terminal?
(Celebrity Silhouette and other Solstice-class ships), and luxury lines including Silversea and Seabourn. Occasional Cunard and P&O sailings also use Ocean. Terminal assignments can shift with only a few weeks’ notice, so we check the Southampton port schedule when you book and confirm the correct terminal with you.
