What the port says

The port gives PO2 8SP as its postcode for directions, and says the M275 runs right to its door. There is a drop-off point outside the terminal building with short-stay bays, and a taxi rank outside the main terminal. Use the passenger postcode, not the port office address.

Ferries from Portsmouth

The port lists Brittany Ferries sailings to Caen, Cherbourg, St Malo, Bilbao and Santander, a Brittany Ferries Channel Islands service to Guernsey and a DFDS service to Jersey. Check timetables and check-in times with your ferry company; the port says it cannot take bookings.

Cruises from Portsmouth

Portsmouth also runs a cruise programme, both turnaround sailings and calls. If your cruise leaves from here rather than Southampton, your documents will say so.

Leaving the car or taking a taxi

The port has a long-stay multi-storey car park and recommends cruise passengers pre-book parking, because spaces are not assured on arrival. A car from home avoids that altogether, and the driver can collect you on the way back.

Booking a seaport transfer

TwentyFour7Cars has a seaport and cruise page and says it can arrange transport to cruise ports and seaports across the UK, with return pick-ups after your trip. It says it works 24 hours a day, which helps with early check-ins and overnight crossings. Tell the firm your operator, sailing and check-in time, passengers and luggage. Sailing from Southampton instead? See our Southampton terminals guide.
