Real Southampton, real local experts
We’re the same team that runs viaUNO Cars — the Southampton transfer operator trusted by cruise passengers since 2019.
Local. Trusted. Independent.
Most cruise affiliate websites are run from offices hundreds of miles from the port. Ours isn’t. We’re based in Southampton and we drive cruise passengers to the four cruise terminals every single week through our sister business, viaUNO Cars.
That means when we recommend a hotel close to the Mayflower Terminal, we’ve been to it. When we tell you embarkation moves quickly on a Tuesday morning, we’ve seen it. And when something goes wrong with your transfer to Heathrow at 4am, we’re the people who fix it.
How the affiliate model works
We don’t sell cruises ourselves. The cruises, hotels and excursions on this site are sold by the cruise lines and travel operators that supply them — P&O, MSC, Royal Caribbean, Cunard, Booking.com, Viator and others. Your booking, payment and ATOL protection sit with them. We earn a small commission for the referral.
That keeps prices the same whether you book through us or directly — but you get our local expertise on top.
How viaUNO fits in
The one part of your cruise we do operate directly is your transfer. viaUNO Cars is our licensed Southampton private-hire company, with a fleet of executive saloons, MPVs and 8-seat people-carriers. Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, London — we’ve done them all hundreds of times.
Our editorial policy
- • Locally researched. Our guides are written from first-hand experience of Southampton’s terminals, roads, hotels and parking — not copied from elsewhere.
- • Independent. We don’t accept payment for positive coverage. Recommendations are based on what we’d genuinely use ourselves.
- • Kept up to date. Terminal, parking and transfer information is reviewed regularly; every guide shows a “last updated” date.
- • Transparent. Some links are affiliate links. If we earn a commission it never changes the price you pay, and it’s always disclosed.
- • Corrections welcome. Spotted something out of date? Tell us and we’ll fix it.
Who writes this
Southampton Cruise Deals is written and maintained by the Southampton Cruise Deals editorial team, working alongside the licensed drivers of viaUNO Cars — the people who physically drive cruise passengers to and from Southampton’s terminals every week.
That on-the-ground experience is what makes our terminal, parking and transfer guides accurate and practical — real local knowledge, not a generic content farm.
