Planning a cruise from Southampton Cruise Terminal? One of the best tips for a smooth start is to arrive in London a day or two early and book a hotel that makes your pre-cruise stay stress-free. The right hotel location can save you valuable time, reduce travel stress, and even give you the chance to explore some of London’s iconic sights before heading to the port.
But with hundreds of hotels across London, where should cruise passengers stay? Here are our Top 5 Hotels in London for Cruise Travelers—plus insider tips on why location matters and how EC Minibus private transfers make the journey seamless.
Why Choosing the Right Hotel Matters
London is a big city, and not every hotel makes it easy to get to Southampton. Staying in the right area ensures two things:
- Quick access to the main motorways leading to Southampton (M3 & M25)
- Convenience for airport arrivals and sightseeing before your cruise
Our recommendation is to stay in Victoria, Kensington, Paddington, or Westminster. These areas are central, well-connected, and ideal for private transfers straight to the port.
