Drop-off
Where we set you down
Drop-off is directly outside the terminal building, with a very short walk to check-in and baggage handling.
Pick-up
Meeting you on the way back
We collect from the same terminal frontage, timed to your disembarkation or ferry arrival.
Recommended departure times
When we suggest setting off
Cruise boarding windows are set in your documents; ferry check-in usually closes 45 to 90 minutes before sailing. We work the departure time back from whichever applies.
Ferry check-in deadlines are strict and earlier than cruise boarding windows.
The port is close to the city centre, so local traffic can affect the final approach.
Suitable for both cruise passengers and foot passengers on Channel crossings.
