Trusted Transfers from Mayflower Cruise Terminal

Mayflower Cruise Terminal is P&O’s flagship Southampton terminal and the busiest of the five cruise terminals at the Port of Southampton. Sitting at Berth 106 inside Dock Gate 10 in the Western Docks, Mayflower handles the P&O fleet’s largest ships — Britannia, Iona, Arvia — alongside Princess and occasional Cunard sailings. Paragon Taxis has been serving Mayflower passengers for more than 40 years and our drivers know the terminal’s rhythm inside out: peak-day traffic, the pickup point layout, and the fastest routes onward to any major UK destination.

Ships Regularly at Mayflower Terminal

Mayflower is where most P&O Cruises passengers begin and end their Southampton sailings. Britannia, Iona, and Arvia — P&O’s biggest ships, each carrying around 5,000 passengers — berth regularly at Mayflower, alongside Azura and occasional deployments from other P&O ships. Princess Cruises also uses Mayflower for some UK-based sailings. Because P&O dominates the Southampton market, Mayflower sees some of the highest passenger volumes of any UK cruise terminal.

Getting to and from Mayflower Terminal

Mayflower Terminal is reached via Dock Gate 10 on the Western Docks. From the M27, take Junction 3 onto the M271 and follow signs for Southampton Docks. Alternatively, the A33 Western Esplanade leads directly to Dock Gate 10. Inside the gate, signage directs you to Berth 106 — Mayflower — which is the furthest of the three Western Docks terminals. Your driver will be in position at the designated pickup point outside the Mayflower building.

How Your Meet & Greet Works at Mayflower Terminal

Your driver will be waiting at the vehicle at the designated pickup point outside Mayflower 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.

Why Mayflower Terminal Passengers Book with Paragon

Having a pre-booked driver already in position at the Mayflower pickup point, with your name on a board, makes an enormous difference compared with queuing at the terminal rank. Our drivers have handled Mayflower disembarkation days for over 40 years.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Mayflower Cruise Terminal in Southampton?
Mayflower Terminal is at Berth 106 inside Dock Gate 10, in Southampton’s Western Docks. The postcode is SO15 1HJ. Road access is via the M271 from the M27 Junction 3, or the A33 Western Esplanade — Dock Gate 10 is clearly signed from both.

Mayflower is P&O’s flagship Southampton terminal — you will most commonly find Britannia, Iona, and Arvia here, along with Azura and occasional other P&O ships. Princess Cruises also uses Mayflower for some sailings. Terminal assignments can change with only a few weeks’ notice, so we check the Southampton port schedule when you book and will confirm the correct terminal with you.
How busy is Mayflower on disembarkation day?
Very busy — P&O’s largest ships carry around 5,000 passengers each, and when a flagship disembarks the surrounding roads and pickup areas run at peak capacity for several hours. Pre-booking your taxi with Paragon means your driver is in position at the designated pickup point with a name board before you clear the terminal, rather than you queuing at the general rank.
