Southampton Hotel with Free Cruise Park Deal
Southampton is the most popular port on the South Coast for cruise departures in the UK and that means that there is a high demand for good quality safe parking for cars while you are away on your cruise.
If you wish to park at the Southampton Port Terminal then there are three council run multi-storey car parks with an average price for a seven day stay being approximately £35 plus your taxi fare to and from the car park to the terminal building.
There are also several commercial car parks at the port terminal again priced at a similar cost. If you are traveling a relatively short distance then making the journey on to the port on the day of your cruise departure may work okay for you but it can be stressful.
If you are traveling quite a distance then many people prefer to reduce the stress of the journey to board thier cruise (think traffic jams, breakdowns etc) by traveling at leisure the day before departure and then staying overnight in a hotel. This is by far the most relaxing way to start your cruise holiday and you may be surprised by just what good value for money it represents when booked as part of a Southampton Park and Cruise package.
We recommend the Botley Park Macdonald Spa Hotel located just a short 20 minute drive from the terminal which offers incredible value, from just £174 per night for two guests you get the following:
The hotel is really easy to get to located close to both the M3 and M27 in the Hampshire countryside. If your cruise departs late the following day then you can spend time exploring the beautiful surroundings including three National Trust properties all within an easy hours drive away.

How does the Southampton Cruise Parking and transfer service work?
The hotel has extensive private parking for standard guests and has converted its large former tennis courts into long stay parking for cruise guests. The parking area is located just past reception and is a large fenced area with security lighting. Car park spaces are easily large enough to accommodate any car or medium sized van and there is no height restriction. Once booked into the hotel you are free to come and go as you wish.
On booking in at reception the staff will ask for the name of your ship and then book your taxi for pick up the following day at the appropriate time. It takes approximately 25 minutes to get to the Cruise Terminal depending on traffic so we would recommend booking a taxi for about 1 hour prior to your appointed check-in time at the cruise terminal.
You will be given a written note for your return taxi instruction to take with you. Your return taxi will be pre-booked, however you can alter this time once you have collected your luggage on return and are waiting in the terminal building taxi pick up rank by phoning the number given. The taxi firm used is a dedicated firm doing cruise terminal pick-ups and has over 500 cars working, this means it can send a car to you generally within 10 minutes of your call.
