Silversea parking at Ocean Cruise Terminal.
Silversea occasionally calls at Ocean Cruise Terminal, and we are at the gangway whenever they do. 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 Silversea
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.
Silversea sails from Southampton on its ultra-luxury voyages. We park for them with the discretion and care you would expect.
For your Silversea sailing, the choice comes down to how short you want the walk. Meet & Greet drops you 20 yards from the Ocean 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.
