Southampton is primarily an embarkation port - most clients won't spend a port day here; pre-cruise night at a hotel is strongly recommended; traffic on departure day can be heavy; check if any pre-cruise hotel includes port transfers

Southampton is the Titanic's departure port - SeaCity Museum is excellent. Day trips to Stonehenge and Bath are world-class excursions. New Forest National Park is nearby. Perfect for clients wanting to add a few nights in England before/after their cruise.
