Your Portland to Heathrow transfer, step by step
Portland Port sits on the Isle of Portland, next to Weymouth on England’s Jurassic Coast, about 125 miles southwest of Heathrow. It is a smaller cruise port, so there are few taxis and no direct train from the quay. A private car takes you straight from the ship to your departures terminal, with your luggage handled from start to finish.
Where your driver meets you
Your driver will meet you at the passenger exit from the cruise berth with a name board and load your cases. Port access arrangements can vary from ship to ship, so tell us your ship and sailing date when you book and we will confirm the meeting point. If you can’t find your driver, call our 24/7 desk on 011 44 1895 622 226 from a US phone.
How long does it take?
The drive to Heathrow normally takes 2½ to 3 hours, mostly on the A31, M27 and M3. Allow extra time on summer weekends, when the roads to the coast are busy.
Booking the right flight time
Airlines recommend arriving at Heathrow three hours before an international flight. If you leave the ship by 9am, a flight departing at 3pm or later usually works well. Tell us your flight time when you book so we can plan the pickup with you.

Portland to Heathrow FAQs
How early should we leave the ship?
Most passengers are off the ship by about 10am. Portland is further from Heathrow than Southampton, so for a long-haul flight we suggest a departure after about 3pm.
What if disembarkation is delayed?
We track your ship and your chauffeur waits at the terminal. Tell us your disembarkation time when you book, and call our 24/7 desk if it changes.
Can you take us to Southampton or London instead?
Yes. We run fixed-price transfers from Portland to Southampton, Gatwick and central London hotels too.
