Stonehenge & Salisbury – Private Tour for Southampton Cruise Passengers

Name: Stonehenge & Salisbury – Private Tour for Southampton Cruise Passengers
Brand: Tour Britannia
SKU: 1352901
Price: 895 GBP
Availability: InStock

Stonehenge and the cathedral city of Salisbury with your own driver-guide, timed around your Southampton cruise: before you sail, after you disembark or as a day in port.

Overview

Stonehenge is about 50 minutes from the Southampton cruise terminals, which makes it the easiest of England’s great sights to fit around a cruise.

Add the medieval city of Salisbury, with the tallest cathedral spire in Britain, and you have a relaxed private day that works before you sail, after you disembark or during a day in port. It’s the shortest of our cruise tours, so earlier flights and sailings work.

Highlights:

Two hours at Stonehenge, with tickets pre-booked and your guide to bring it to life.
Salisbury’s cathedral close, Magna Carta and medieval streets, with time for lunch.
Pickup and drop-off at your ship, the airport or your London hotel, luggage and all.
A private luxury Mercedes and your own driver-guide, just for your group.

What to Expect

1. Your pickup

Your driver-guide meets you at your cruise terminal, at airport arrivals or at your London hotel. Your luggage goes straight into the vehicle and stays with us all day, so there is nothing to store or collect.

Pickup

2. Stonehenge

Together with its surrounding prehistoric monuments, Stonehenge has puzzled and intrigued visitors for centuries. Your guide collects your pre-booked tickets and brings this World Heritage Site to life as you walk around the stone circle, the Neolithic houses and the exhibition.

2 hours

3. Salisbury

A medieval city set around one of England’s great cathedrals, with the tallest spire in Britain and one of only four surviving original copies of Magna Carta. There’s time to explore the Cathedral Close and the old streets, and to have lunch.

1 hour 30 mins

4. Your drop-off

We take you on to your London hotel, the airport or your ship, and see you and your luggage safely to the door.

Drop-off

Make it your day

Every Tour Britannia tour is private, so the itinerary is a starting point, not a script.

This is the route most of our guests take, but you can change any of it. Your guide plans the day around you before you travel and stays flexible on the day itself. You can linger longer wherever you’re enjoying yourself, skip anything that doesn’t appeal, or stop wherever something catches your eye.

Ways to tailor this tour

Add Old Sarum, the Iron Age hillfort where Salisbury began
Swap Salisbury for Winchester, England’s ancient capital
Have lunch at a traditional country pub
Add Windsor on the way to Heathrow, or Bath on a longer after-cruise day

Tell us what you’d like when you book, or ask us first. We’ll confirm the plan, and any change to the price, before you pay.

Questions about this tour

Is the price per person or per group?

Per group. It’s £985 before or after your cruise and £895 for a port day. That covers your whole private group of up to 8 guests, including pickups and drop-offs, your luggage and your own driver-guide. There’s no charge per person.

Which journey should we book?

After your cruise if you’re leaving the ship in Southampton and heading to London or the airport. Before your cruise if you’re flying in or staying in London and boarding that day. Port day if Southampton is a stop on your cruise and you’re sailing on that evening.

When and where do you meet us?

In Southampton we meet you at your cruise terminal (Ocean, QEII, City, Horizon or Mayflower): from about 8.30am after a cruise, and at 8am on a port day. Before a cruise we meet you at Heathrow or Gatwick arrivals, or at your London hotel, from 7.30am. Your guide texts you the day before to confirm.

Will we be back at the ship in time?

Port days are planned to have you back at the terminal by about 4pm. Tell us your all-aboard time when you book and we plan the day around it. If your ship sails before 6.30pm, please ask us before booking. Before a cruise we aim to reach your terminal by about 2.30–3pm.

What if our ship or flight is late?

We track your ship and your flight and move the pickup to match. If a late arrival leaves less time, we shorten the tour rather than risk your ship or your flight. Stops we have to miss aren’t refunded.

What happens to our luggage?

It comes with you. Each guest can bring 1 large suitcase and 1 small bag, which stay locked in the vehicle all day. If you have more, tell us before you book.

Can we fly home the same day?

Yes. After your cruise we reach Heathrow at about 3–3.30pm, so flights leaving after 6.30pm work well.

What is your cancellation policy?

You can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before your tour and get a full refund. Cancellations within 24 hours of the start time aren’t refundable.
