Althought the ongoing coronavirus pandemic continues to halt most cruise lines have cancelled to spring 2021, with others suspending as far as summer. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still recommends avoiding cruise trips during the pandemic. The situation so far is that almost all cruises globally are suspended and will only restart depending on the authorities in each country, new health measures, and travel restrictions. Consult all applicable Centers for Disease Control travel advisories, warnings, or recommendations relating to cruise travel and check at official cruise line website.
There are currently four separate cruise terminals strung along about two miles of the waterfront in port of Southampton. The majority of cruise ships arrive around 5.a.m. to 6:30 a.m. and have assisted disembarkation starting about 07:00 with the last stragglers coming off around 09:00. All cruise ships depart the same day they arrive, normally around 17:00.
The first passengers for embarkation normally start arriving just as the last disembarkations come off around 09:00. Embarkation normally closes for departing cruises around 15:00 to 16:00. Do check direct with your individual cruise, the above is what happens on the vast majority of cruises using Southampton, yours may be the exception.
