P&O Cruises parking at Ocean Cruise Terminal
P&O Cruises sails regularly from Ocean Cruise Terminal. We meet you 20 yards from the gangway at the short-stay car park, take your car, and have it back the moment you dock. Same drivers, same CCTV compound, same £2m insurance for every line we cover.
Why Ocean suits P&O Cruises
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.
P&O is the busiest line out of Southampton, and Iona, Arvia, Britannia, Ventura, Azura, Aurora and Arcadia all sail from here.
For your P&O Cruises sailing, Meet & Greet drops you 20 yards from the Ocean gangway, through Dock Gate 4, which suits anyone with heavy luggage or guests on a tight pre-board schedule. Your car spends the cruise behind locked gates in our private compound.
