On the day
Travelling to The Savoy, 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: savoy Court, the hotel’s private approach off the Strand, is famously the only street in Britain where traffic keeps to the right — your chauffeur pulls up directly at the front doors.

Between the The Savoy lobby and the quay, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.
