      FAQs | Cruise Port Transfers

      How far in advance should I book a cruise port transfer in London?
      We recommend booking your cruise port transfer to London at least 48 hours in advance to guarantee vehicle availability and allow us to plan your route thoroughly. For peak summer sailings and bank holiday weekends, booking one to two weeks ahead is advisable to secure your preferred vehicle class.
      Can you accommodate large amounts of luggage for cruise travel?
      Absolutely. Cruise passengers typically travel with more luggage than standard travellers, and our fleet is chosen to reflect this. Our Mercedes V Class accommodates up to 7 large suitcases, making it ideal for families and groups. Simply inform us of your luggage requirements when requesting a quote and we will match you to the right vehicle.
      Do you offer airport-to-cruise port transfers?
      Yes. Smart Chauffeurs offers seamless airport-to-cruise port transfer London services, ideal for international passengers flying into Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, or Luton before embarking on a UK cruise. We include a meet-and-greet at the airport arrivals hall and transfer you directly to your cruise terminal.
      What happens if my cruise is delayed on the return journey?
      We monitor all vessel arrivals and will automatically adjust your return pick-up time if your ship is running late. You will be kept informed by your chauffeur via WhatsApp or phone. There is no additional charge for reasonable delays; your chauffeur will be there whenever you dock.
      Are child seats available for family cruise transfers?
      Yes, child seats and booster seats are available on request at no additional charge for all cruise port transfer London bookings. Please specify the age and weight of your children when booking so we can provide the correct seat type in compliance with UK road safety regulations.
