Why book with Ryde

Built for cruise departures

Fixed price for the route

Confirmed before you travel, whichever port you're departing from.

Right vehicle for the luggage

Cruise passengers typically travel with more cases than a weekend flight — tell us at booking and we'll match the vehicle.

Timed to your embarkation

We plan the pickup around your ship's boarding time, not a generic estimate.

Ports we cover

Southampton, and beyond

Southampton Cruise Terminal is our most frequently booked port transfer, being the closest major UK cruise port to Reading — see our Reading to Southampton page for route detail, since the same journey serves both the airport and the cruise terminal. We also run transfers to Portsmouth, Dover, Harwich, and Tilbury on request — get in touch to confirm pricing and timing for these routes.
