London to Harwich transportation for Jewel of the Seas

[sportsnut]

Was wondering if anyone had information about transportation from London to Harwich for the Jewel of the Seas cruise. I have heard that there is a special cruise train that leaves London. Any information would be helpful.

News for the specials to meet cruise ships is available here - [url="http://www.harwich-intl-port.co.uk/news-cruise%20trains%202004.htm"]http://www.harwich-intl-port.co.uk/news-cruise%20trains%202004.htm[/url] (thanks to [B]Mike Andrews[/B] for the link). Although this train service franchise has recently changed hands, I haven't heard anything to suggest that there's been any adverse effect on these trains.

Thanks for the information. I wonder how much the transfers are from the cruise line.

Thanks for the info on the Cruise Train.We will be sailing on the Jewel in August.I marked it in my favorite file...We are sailing on the Mariner this coming Sunday and when we get back from that one I have to get serious about arrangements for August.We have the cruise and the Airline booked so I am hoping the rest will fall into place....

This company provides services to/from Harwich from London and the airport and other destinations. Many folks on the Jewel, 21 June, will be using this transfer service and it was highly recommended here on CC.
