Dover Cruise Transfers
Dover Cruise Terminal Transfers
Beneath the White Cliffs, Dover's Western Docks host cruise calls and turnarounds for lines sailing to Northern Europe, the Baltic and beyond. Harringtons delivers you there from London, the airports or anywhere in the UK, chauffeured, fixed-price, luggage handled from doorstep to terminal porter, and timed to your embarkation with the M20/A20 approach planned for sailing-day traffic.
London to Dover, the journey
Around 80 miles south-east via the M20, typically 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes. Dover's cruise terminals sit in the Western Docks (we confirm your terminal from your e-ticket); your chauffeur takes you through the port entrance to the terminal forecourt itself.
Airport connections and sea days
Heathrow and Gatwick to Dover run smoothly at c. 2 to 2.5 hours with flight tracking absorbing any delay. Arriving a day early? Canterbury and Leeds Castle are on the doorstep, a pre-cruise Kent day is the civilised way to start a sailing.
