Southampton Ocean Cruise Terminal at Berth 46/47, Dock Gate 4, SO14 3GG is the primary Cunard Line terminal at Port of Southampton. The Cunard fleet at Ocean Terminal: Queen Mary 2 (148,500 GT, 2,691 passenger capacity — the iconic Cunard transatlantic flagship and the only ocean liner currently in regular transatlantic crossing service, operating Southampton-New York scheduled crossings 1-2 times monthly plus various cruises; entered service 2004); Queen Victoria (90,000 GT, 2,061 passenger capacity, entered service 2007); Queen Anne (114,000 GT, 3,000 passenger capacity — the newest Cunard ship, entered service May 2024, named after Queen Anne who created Cunard's predecessor company in 1702 — replacing the retired Queen Elizabeth); plus occasional Princess Cruises ships (P&O Cruises and Princess Cruises are sister brands under Carnival Corporation, sometimes sharing terminal capacity). The transatlantic operations: Queen Mary 2 maintains the only regularly scheduled passenger transatlantic crossing service in the world — typically 1-2 monthly Southampton-New York crossings each direction during the Atlantic season (April-November); the 7-night transatlantic crossing is a distinct cruise product (regularly priced at substantial premium); transatlantic crossings often combined with Atlantic Coast cruises in season; the Queen Mary 2 is also the largest ocean liner currently in service. The Ocean Terminal layout: terminal building includes check-in counters, security, passport control, Cunard Grills check-in (the premium Queens Grill / Princess Grill check-in for higher-grade cabin passengers), departure lounge with premium spaces, plus retail / hospitality facilities; the passenger drop-off zone is on Dock Gate 4 / Ocean Way arrangement managed by ABP and Cunard ground operations; appropriate kerb drop-off allows passengers to enter the terminal directly. The cruise embarkation timing window at Ocean Terminal: typical Cunard embarkation 11:30am-3:30pm with check-in closing 90 minutes before scheduled sail; Queens Grill / Princess Grill passengers have priority check-in; appropriate kerb drop allows timely entry. The vehicle assignment: V-Class extended for typical Cunard passenger family with 5-9 bags (Cunard cruises often 7-14-28 day with substantial luggage), V-Class for smaller party, S-Class for premium guest (Cunard's Queens Grill / Princess Grill demographic often prefers S-Class executive), multi-vehicle for larger party. The route: from central London via A4 / M4 / M3 to Southampton M3 Junction 14; appropriate Ocean Terminal drop-off via Dock Gate 4 / Ocean Way. Driver brief: appropriate kerb arrival at London / hotel / Heathrow pickup, climate-controlled cabin with water available, knowledge of Ocean Terminal location and Cunard drop-off arrangement, Cunard embarkation awareness (particularly transatlantic crossing specific timing), appropriate kerb drop with luggage unloading at Ocean Terminal forecourt, professional throughout.
