Meet & Greet parking at Ocean Cruise Terminal.
Our valet team meets you at the cruise terminal short-stay car park, takes the keys 20 yards from the gangway, and parks your car in our CCTV compound while you sail. Ocean Terminal is the busiest of the Southampton cruise berths, on the eastern side of the port at Berths 46 and 47. P&O's Arvia and Iona sail from here, along with Cunard's Queen Anne and Royal Caribbean's Anthem of the Seas. Same 20-yard handover as every terminal we cover.
Why M&G suits Ocean
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, 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 — no detour, no queueing at a pay-and-display barrier. For longer cruises, our Park & Ride shuttles you in from our own compound three miles from the port.
