Southampton

Southampton is the UK's primary cruise homeport, handling Cunard transatlantics and most British Isles and Norwegian fjord turnarounds. Ships dock at one of five terminals along the River Test, with direct trains from London Waterloo in about 80 minutes. The SeaCity Museum's Titanic galleries and the medieval city walls are the main in-town stops. Heathrow is about 90 minutes north by motorcoach.
