Royal Caribbean parking at Horizon Cruise Terminal.
Royal Caribbean sails regularly from Horizon 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 Horizon suits Royal Caribbean
Horizon Cruise Terminal is the youngest of the five berths, commissioned at a cost of £55 million and opened in 2021 by the Maritime Minister. It was built to handle the latest generation of larger cruise ships, with a distinctive curved roof that's visible from across the docks.
It shares access with Mayflower via Dock Gate 10 off West Quay Road. The Ibis Southampton Centre and Ibis budget hotels are within a reasonable walk for guests staying pre-cruise. We drop you straight at the short-stay car park next to the terminal entrance.
When Royal Caribbean sails from Southampton, we are right there at the terminal to take your car. Choose Meet & Greet for the shortest walk, or Park & Ride if you would rather we shuttle you.
For your Royal Caribbean sailing, the choice comes down to how short you want the walk. Meet & Greet drops you 20 yards from the Horizon gangway, through Dock Gate 10, 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.
