Portsmouth Port Taxi & Ferry Terminal Transfers

Portsmouth: Home to the Entire Virgin Voyages Fleet

Portsmouth International Port holds a distinction no other port in the world can claim — it's the only port to have hosted the complete Virgin Voyages fleet, including Scarlet Lady and Valiant Lady. Alongside Virgin, Portsmouth has built a reputation for boutique and small-ship cruising, with Saga, Fred. Olsen, Viking, Ambassador and Ponant all sailing regularly from its single dedicated terminal — a seawater-heated building opened in 2011, the first of its kind in the UK.

Portsmouth is also Britain's most historic naval city. HMS Victory and the Mary Rose sit in the Historic Dockyard a short taxi ride from the terminal, and the 170m Emirates Spinnaker Tower dominates the waterfront. At just 73 miles from London, it's the closest major cruise port to the capital.

Vehicles for Cruise Passengers

Cruise passengers typically travel with more luggage than a standard airport trip. Our recommendations:

• 4-seater car — 1–2 passengers with standard cases, from £60
• 6-seater MPV — couples or small groups with multiple large cases, from £90
• 7–8 seater minibus — larger groups or heavy luggage, from £90

If you're unsure which vehicle suits your group and luggage, contact us before booking.

One Terminal, No Confusion

Unlike Southampton's five separate terminals, Portsmouth operates from a single dedicated cruise building — so there's no ambiguity about where your driver needs to take you. That simplicity, combined with shorter queues than the bigger South Coast ports, makes Portsmouth one of the easiest UK departures to arrive into.

Early Morning & Late Night Sailings

With boutique lines often scheduling early departures and late arrivals to make the most of shorter itineraries, Portsmouth sees ship movements at unusual hours. We operate 24/7, 365 days a year, whatever time your sailing needs you there.
