Excellent experience with RB Airport Transfer. Communication was clear, the driver was professional and the journey from Stansted was smooth. A reliable service at a fair price.

Dover Cruise Port Transfers

Getting to Dover in time to board, or getting away smoothly once you've disembarked, shouldn't be the stressful part of a cruise. The Royal Britain Airport Transfer runs private, chauffeur-driven transfers to and from Dover Cruise Port. Fares are agreed before you travel, and a driver will be waiting for you at the other end, on the way out to sea or back on dry land.
We cover journeys between Dover and London, Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton, Stansted, and hotels across London and Kent, in either direction. Cars, estates, MPVs, minibuses and a coach are all available, so a couple heading off for a week in the Mediterranean and a family of six travelling with a full set of luggage are both properly looked after. Get a quote or read on for the details you'll want before you book.

The Best Way to Get to Dover Cruise Port

A private transfer is the only door-to-door option between London (or a UK airport) and the cruise terminal itself. There's no direct train or coach service from any London airport to Dover. The National Express coach and the train from St Pancras both finish at Dover town or Dover Priory station, roughly two miles from the terminals, so you'd still need a taxi leg either way. A pre-booked private transfer removes that extra step. One vehicle, one driver, from your door to the ship or the ship to your door.

Transfers to Dover Cruise Port

If you're travelling out to join a cruise, we'll collect you from a London hotel, a hotel or address anywhere in Kent, or one of the main UK airports, and take you straight to the terminal. This is a private vehicle for your party only no shared shuttle, no waiting for other passengers to be dropped off first.

Transfers from Dover Cruise Port

Coming back off the ship is usually the moment people most want sorted in advance. Once you've cleared the terminal with your luggage, your driver will be waiting to take you on to London, a UK airport for a connecting flight, or a hotel for the night. You won't need to find a taxi rank or work out a train connection with cases in tow.

Dover Cruise Port to London

This is one of the most common journeys we run. Central London is around 75 miles from Dover, typically 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours by road, though that varies with traffic on the M20/A2 and around the Dartford Crossing or Blackwall Tunnel depending on your destination. A private transfer takes you directly to a London hotel or address, with your luggage handled once at the terminal rather than shifted between a train, a taxi rank and a second vehicle.

Airport to Dover Cruise Port

Heathrow to Dover Cruise Port

Heathrow is around 100 miles from Dover, with journeys generally taking 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes depending on traffic and time of day. We run this route in both directions. Heathrow to Dover ahead of a cruise, and Dover back to Heathrow for a connecting flight home.

Gatwick to Dover Cruise Port

Gatwick sits to the south of London, which usually makes for a more direct run to Dover than from Heathrow, avoiding the worst of central London traffic. Journey times still depend on conditions on the M25 and M20, so we'd always recommend building in a reasonable buffer either side of your flight or sailing time.

Luton to Dover Cruise Port

Luton to Dover means crossing London or skirting round it, so this is typically one of the longer airport routes we cover. We'll agree a pickup time with you that accounts for the distance and gives you a sensible margin before boarding.

Stansted to Dover Cruise Port

Stansted is northeast of London, and like Luton, the route to Dover usually involves the M25. As with all our airport routes, we're happy to talk through timing when you book, particularly if your flight lands early morning or your cruise has a tight embarkation window.

Dover Cruise Port Pickup

For a pickup at the terminal, we'll ask for your cruise line and disembarkation details when you book, along with a contact number, so your driver knows roughly when to expect you and can adjust if your ship's timing shifts. Once you're through the terminal with your luggage, your driver will be there to meet you, holding a board with your name. If you're being dropped off ahead of a cruise, just let us know your terminal and check-in time and we'll get you there with time to clear boarding comfortably.

Dover Cruise Terminal Information

Dover's cruise terminals sit within the Western Docks, separate from the Eastern Docks ferry port. There are two cruise terminals. Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 with the larger ships generally using Terminal 2. If you're not sure which terminal your ship uses, your cruise line will confirm it on your booking documents; just let us know when you book your transfer and we'll arrange your driver accordingly.

Vehicles for Dover Cruise Transfers

We run a range of vehicles so you can pick one that actually fits your party and your luggage, rather than squeezing in:
  • Saloon (Toyota Prius, VW Passat or similar): 4 passengers, 2 checked bags, 2 hand bags, 1 child seat. Suits a couple or two friends travelling reasonably light.
  • Estate (Volvo estate or similar): 4 passengers, 3 checked bags, 3 hand bags, 1 child seat. A better fit when luggage outnumbers passengers.
  • Executive (Mercedes E-Class or similar) and S-Class: 4 passengers, 2 checked and 2 hand bags, for those who'd rather travel in a bit more comfort.
  • 6-Seater MPV (VW Sharan, Seat Alhambra or similar): 6 passengers, 2 checked and 2 hand bags, 2 child seats.
  • Executive People Carrier (Mercedes Viano or similar): 7 passengers, 3 checked and 3 hand bags, 2 child seats.
  • 8-Seater Minibus (VW Transporter or similar): 8 passengers, 4 checked and 4 hand bags, 2 child seats.
  • 16-Seater Minibus (Mercedes Sprinter or similar): For larger groups, 10 checked and 8 hand bags, 3 child seats.
  • 24-Seater Coach: For full group or extended-family bookings.
If you're unsure which vehicle suits your party, tell us passenger numbers and luggage when you book and we'll point you to the right one.

Family and Group Cruise Transfers

Cruises are often multi-generational trips, and Dover transfers are no exception. We regularly carry couples, families with young children, and larger groups travelling together. Child seats are available on the MPV, People Carrier and minibus options above; let us know ages and how many you need when booking. For groups of six or more, or where luggage is unusually heavy (golf clubs, extra suitcases, mobility equipment), the minibus and coach options keep everyone and everything in one vehicle rather than splitting across cars.

Luggage

Cruise luggage tends to be heavier than a typical airport trip. Most passengers travel with at least one large case per person, plus hand luggage. When you book, tell us how many checked and hand bags you're bringing so we can put you in a vehicle with enough room. If you're travelling with anything oversized golf clubs, a wheelchair, a cot mention it at the time of booking rather than on the day, so we can plan for it.

How Much Does a Dover Cruise Port Transfer Cost?

We work on fixed, upfront fares, agreed before you travel, so there are no surprises based on traffic or how long the journey takes. Because the price depends on your exact pickup and drop-off points, passenger numbers and vehicle choice, the quickest way to get an accurate figure is to request a quote with your journey details.

How Long Does a Dover Cruise Port Transfer Take?

As a rough guide: Central London to Dover is around 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours, and Heathrow to Dover around 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes, both depending on traffic, time of day and roadworks on the M20/A2 corridor. These are estimates rather than guarantees for cruise pickups we'd always suggest allowing a sensible buffer before your embarkation cut-off, and for flights after disembarking, building in extra time rather than cutting it fine. If your cruise's arrival time changes, get in touch and we'll adjust your pickup accordingly.

Why Choose The Royal Britain Airport Transfer?

  • Door-to-door, both directions: Dover to your destination or your destination to Dover, in one private vehicle.
  • Fixed fares: agreed before you travel, so there's nothing to negotiate on the day.
  • A vehicle for the party you actually have: from a saloon car to a 24-seater coach.
  • Meet & greet at the terminal: your driver will be there holding your name, so you're not searching for transport with your cases.
  • 24/7 availability: cruise schedules move, and we work around that.
  • UK-wide coverage beyond Dover, including Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton and Stansted Airport Transfers, London Taxi Service, and cruise transfers to Southampton and Portsmouth.

  • Add your cruise line and terminal details if we're collecting you from Dover.
