The Milestone to Southampton Cruise Port · Hotel route
A fixed-price chauffeur between The Milestone Hotel & Residences and Southampton Cruise Port — 75 miles, typically 2h 15–3h 10, in either direction. Booked in advance, met in person, sailing tracked on the way in.

What to expect
Travelling to The Milestone, your driver meets you at the Southampton Cruise Port passenger terminal with a name board, your sailing tracked. Leaving the hotel, the car waits at the door: kensington Court is a quiet turning off the High Street; cars wait at the hotel’s corner entrance, palace-side, away from the bus lanes.
Inbound legs are tracked live; the pickup shifts to your real arrival at no extra cost.
A named chauffeur with your board at Southampton Cruise Port, and a car at the door at The Milestone — no rank, no app, no waiting on a stranger.
Between the The Milestone lobby and the quay, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.
Tolls — plus the Congestion Charge and ULEZ where the route applies — sit inside the quoted fare.
