Your trip at a glance
Send your ship and all-aboard details for an assessed private outing that returns to the same ship. We agree the service window after reviewing your entry times and travel requirements. The itinerary below is a suggested plan, not a reserved schedule. Traffic, opening hours and your walking pace can change the balance of stops. Your chauffeur handles transport while you explore independently.
Your itinerary
Meet at your ship’s terminal
Provide ship, date, terminal and the ship’s all-aboard time. Collection follows actual disembarkation; the quoted day is assessed against the port call, not just the advertised arrival time.
Official visitor informationChoose one main destination
Request Winchester for a shorter outing or Stonehenge if your port call permits. Explore independently, with separate attraction tickets and a meal break. We do not promise London or several distant attractions within every port call.
Planned visit: approximately 180 minutes
Official visitor informationReturn to the same ship
An agreed early terminal-return target and traffic contingency take priority. Stops may be shortened if delays develop. This private excursion is not sold by the cruise line and does not carry a ship-waiting guarantee.
Official visitor informationVisit timings are a plan; entry slots and road conditions are considered when confirming your itinerary.

Your vehicle and chauffeur
Executive Saloon: suited to couples or a small party travelling light; Mercedes E-Class or EQE are examples. Executive Van: suited to families, groups and additional luggage; Mercedes V-Class or Vito are examples. The actual model, seats and luggage fit are confirmed for your booking. Tell us the number and sizes of bags, any pushchair, child-seat needs or mobility equipment. A seat count alone does not confirm luggage space. Vehicles are chauffeur-driven and air-conditioned; a wheelchair-accessible vehicle must be requested and separately confirmed. Professional chauffeur-driven transport, not a guided tour. Your chauffeur handles driving, meeting points and agreed transport; general local knowledge varies. You explore attractions independently.
Attraction tickets
Attraction tickets are separate. Check official availability for your date and coordinate entry with our team.
Cancellation
Cancellation terms are provided with your written quotation before payment. They depend on the confirmed transport and any separately agreed arrangements. Attraction tickets and hotels have their own terms; review those before purchasing.
Changing your plans
Changes require confirmation and may affect availability, itinerary or price. We agree changes and any additional payment before proceeding.
Questions about your journey
How much walking is involved?
Read each stop for the expected visit and walking. Tell us about mobility needs before booking so we can assess drop-off points, distances and attraction access; the chauffeur does not accompany you as a walking guide.
Are these times guaranteed?
We agree the service window after reviewing your entry times and travel requirements. Stop lengths are our planning suggestions, not attraction recommendations or guaranteed driving times. We confirm the route and any extra-time charges before payment.
Is a tour guide included?
No. Your chauffeur handles private transport and may share general local knowledge, which varies by driver. You explore attractions independently.
Are attraction tickets included?
No, unless explicitly stated in your agreed quote. Check availability and coordinate admission with us before purchasing tickets.
Can I choose different stops?
Send your ideas before booking. We review the route and confirm any revised itinerary, availability and price.
How do I choose a vehicle?
Tell us your travellers, luggage sizes, children and any mobility needs. We confirm a suitable vehicle and arrangements.
Where does my journey finish?
The final destination is agreed before booking. A hotel return, airport drop-off or cruise-terminal destination can require different timings and prices.
