🚆 Train Travel from Dover Priory Station
Another popular choice is taking a train from Dover Priory Station, which is just a short taxi ride (approx. 5–10 minutes) from the cruise terminal. From there, you can get direct or connecting services to:
- London St Pancras International (via high-speed rail – approx. 1 hr 10 mins)
- London Victoria or Charing Cross
- Connections to other UK cities via London Terminals
Note: Trains can get busy during cruise disembarkation, and you’ll need to handle your own luggage.
🚌 Coach and Shuttle Services
Some cruise lines offer pre-arranged coach transfers to London or major airports. This option is:
- Ideal for solo travellers or couples
- Usually more affordable than private transfers
- Less flexible in terms of drop-off location and schedule
Check with your cruise operator for availability and pre-booking requirements.

Always confirm arrival times with your pickup driver to avoid delays.
