lamb616 Posted May 7 #1 Share Posted May 7 Don't most cruise lines offer tours on debarkation day - ending at the airport - for those of us with evening flights? I know I've seen it in the past, but I've never had an evening flight before. Now I do, and theres nothing offered so far. We're only 3 months out.

Rare John Bull Posted May 8 #2 Share Posted May 8 Some cruise lines offer a tour-transfer from ship to LHR (or central London) via a stop at Stonehenge. The only independently-operated coach tour-transfers that I'm aware of from Southampton cruise terminals to LHR (or into London for those taking a few post-cruise days) are by International Friends, a long-established & trusted coach tour operator. They service all but the smallest cruise ships arriving in Southampton and are well-received on Cruise Critic. They offer - Stonehenge-only for those who need to be at LHR at 1.30 to 2pm, - Salisbury + Stonehenge + Windsor for those who need to be at LHR by 4.30 - 5pm, - Bath & Windsor for those who need to be at LHR by 5 - 5.30pm - Cotswolds villages for those who need to be at LHR by 4.45 to 5.15pm https://www.internationalfriends.co.uk/shore-excursions-and-cruise-transfers.html#tour-tab2 If you choose one which includes Stonehenge it is important to book your Stonehenge admission with your tour - Stonehenge operates restricted numbers and pay-at-the-gate can be significantly delayed or even declined at busy times. Tickets issued by coach operators (this includes ship-sponsored coaches and the Stonehenge ho-ho) permit entry at any time. (Their simple direct cruise terminal to LHR transfers are no better value than most ship-sponsored transfers, and for 2+ passengers a private transfer using one of a number of taxi operators is actually cheaper.)
