Princess Cruises parking at QEII Cruise Terminal.
Princess Cruises sails regularly from QEII 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 QEII suits Princess Cruises
QEII Terminal, named after the original Queen Elizabeth II ocean liner, is at the southern end of Southampton's dock system. It's part of the Old Docks and handles a mix of Cunard sailings as its main user, with occasional Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Silversea and P&O ships.
Access is the same as Ocean Terminal: A33 via Platform Road through Dock Gate 4. Southampton Central station is about two miles away; a taxi is easier if you're arriving by train with luggage. Our Meet & Greet drops you straight at the short-stay gangway; Park & Ride runs you in by shuttle from our compound.
Sky Princess, Regal Princess and the rest of the Princess fleet sail British Isles and beyond from Southampton. We park for all of them, every terminal.
For your Princess Cruises sailing, the choice comes down to how short you want the walk. Meet & Greet drops you 20 yards from the QEII gangway, through Dock Gate 4, and is the quickest option for anyone with heavy luggage or guests on a tight pre-board schedule. Park & Ride costs less and shuttles you in from our compound, about 10 minutes away. Either way, your car spends the cruise behind locked gates in our private compound.
