1particularharbor Posted February 20, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I am interested in finding the best way to travel from Amsterdam or Rotterdam to Southampton. We prefer not to fly. Thanks for any suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare John Bull Posted February 20, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 20, 2016 You can catch the train,From Rotterdam to Paris,then Paris to london,Then onto Southampton,Hi speed train all the way to London The flight form Amsterdam to Southampton is only a short one and a lot Quicker,The train from Rotterdam stops at the airport in Amsterdam :) By train Rotterdam to London is quicker (4 hours) and cheaper (under £100 if booked ahead by a couple of months or more) via Brussels rather than Paris. Then across central London by taxi or tube (metro) from St Pancras station to Waterloo station for the train to Southampton (about 1.5hrs, £40 or considerably less pre-booked with megatrain) But yes, direct flights from Amsterdam to Southampton.

FreestyleNovice Posted February 26, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Out of the box: Walk from cruiseterminal to public transport. Under 3 minutes. Free. Metro/bus from to Rotterdam Central Station. Under 10 munutes. Some € 2,- for a paper single ticket, very regular service every few minutes from Wilhelmina Plein stop or more by cab but a cab will take longer and cost more. Train from Rotterdam Central to Hoek van Holland Haven station. 30 minutes. € 5,- Walk over to Stena Line ferry terminal next to station. Board the ferry to Harwich. Harwich - London Liverpool Str station by train. Etc. Etc. http://www.stenaline.nl/en-GB-nl/england/rail-and-sail/timetable (see the Rotterdam - London schedule) A Rotterdam train shortly after at noon will get you in London at ten at night.
