Why Southampton works for a back-to-back
- No flights required for anyone in the UK, which removes the largest cost and hassle from a two-week chain.
- Summer itineraries run to the Norwegian fjords, the Baltic, the Canaries, and the Mediterranean. Consecutive legs are often in completely different directions.
- Autumn transatlantic crossings depart from here, so a European leg chained to a crossing is a classic way to end a season.
Turnaround day at Southampton
UK border processing applies. Southampton turnaround is well practised and the terminals are compact.
Getting there
Trains from London Waterloo take about 80 minutes to Southampton Central. Heathrow coach transfers run frequently. For a chain, the train is usually easier than driving and parking for a fortnight.
Nearest airport: London Heathrow (LHR), about 90 minutes away.
Spend your Club Royale offers across both legs
A casino offer covers one sailing. Chain two and you can spend two offers on one continuous trip. Leg to Leg works out which offer belongs on which leg so the pair costs you as little as possible.

Can I chain a Mediterranean cruise and a transatlantic from Southampton?
Sometimes, in the autumn repositioning season. It depends entirely on whether a crossing departs on the day a European leg returns. The chains listed on this page are computed from live inventory, so if that combination exists right now it will appear.
