Local knowledge
Tips for the Brighton to Southampton Cruise Port run
- The A27 narrows to a single lane each way at Arundel and slows through Worthing and around the Chichester roundabouts, so this route is steadier than it is fast.
- On days when several ships are in port, traffic queues at the dock gates. Aim to arrive for the boarding time on your cruise documents rather than hours early.
- Cruise luggage adds up quickly. For two couples, or a family with formal wear and several cases, book an estate or a 7–8 seater.
- Book your return at the same time — your cruise line will give you a disembarkation time for the morning you dock.
