Ambassador Cruise Line parking at Ocean Cruise Terminal

Why Ocean suits Ambassador Cruise Line
Ocean Cruise Terminal sits on the eastern docks at the junction of the Rivers Test and Itchen. It handles two ships at once across Berths 46 and 47, and regularly hosts the biggest P&O ships, Arvia, Iona and Britannia, as well as Cunard and Royal Caribbean visits.
Access is from the A33 (Platform Road) through Dock Gate 4. Southampton Central station is around two miles away. We meet you in the short-stay car park, right in front of the gangway, with no detour and no queueing at a pay-and-display barrier. Your car goes to our secure compound 1.5 miles from the port and is back at the terminal for your return.
