The Breeze Guide to a Seamless Disembarkation
Our commitment to your reassurance extends to your return journey. Disembarking a major cruise liner at Southampton can be a chaotic experience, with thousands of passengers exiting the terminals simultaneously. To ensure an effortless transition from ship to chauffeur, please note our standard port procedures:
Terminal Meeting Points: Your driver will enter the terminal arrivals hall 30 minutes after your ship docks (or at a pre-arranged time aligned with your luggage color-tag group). They will be waiting prominently near the main exit barriers holding a digital Breeze Transfers name board.
Driver Communication: As soon as your vehicle is positioned in the terminal’s designated chauffeur bay, you will receive an automated SMS via the Breeze App containing your driver’s direct mobile number, name, and vehicle registration.
Customs and Passport Control: We allocate a generous 60 minutes of complimentary waiting time from your scheduled pickup slot, ensuring you never feel rushed through baggage reclaim or border checks.

- Each of the terminals in Southampton port has a dedicated drop off and collection area close to the doors for the terminal which makes it very easy to arrive or be collected by taxi.
- Don’t forget to check which terminal you need as there are five terminals in Southampton.
