About Horizon Cruise Terminal

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.
