Horizon Cruise Terminal parking
Horizon is Southampton's newest cruise terminal, opened in 2021 at Berth 102 in the Western Docks, with a sweeping curved roof you can pick out from across the port. It was built for the latest generation of larger ships and shares Dock Gate 10 with the neighbouring Mayflower terminal. Our gated, patrolled park and ride site is a six minute transfer away, and every site we list is visited in person before it goes on sale.
The terminal
Where is the Horizon Cruise Terminal?
Horizon sits at Berth 102 on West Bay Road, in the Western Docks, and is reached through Dock Gate 10 — sat-nav postcode SO15 1AW. Opened in 2021 as Southampton's newest and largest terminal, it was built for the latest generation of cruise ships and shares its Dock Gate 10 approach with the Mayflower terminal next door. Southampton Central station is about a mile away, so most passengers drive in and leave the car with us.

Ships & lines
Which ships sail from the Horizon terminal?
Horizon was built for the newest large ships, and lines such as MSC Cruises, Celebrity Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line use it through the season — MSC Virtuosa, Celebrity Silhouette and Norwegian Prima among them. A cruise line is never tied to one terminal, though, so always check the berth on your e-ticket rather than assuming.
| Cruise line | Ships often at Horizon |
|---|---|
| MSC Cruises | MSC Virtuosa |
| Celebrity Cruises | Celebrity Silhouette |
| Norwegian Cruise Line | Norwegian Prima |
Check the berth number, not the cruise line. The same ship can sail from a different Southampton terminal on a different date. Your e-ticket carries the berth — Horizon is Berth 102 — and that is the only reliable source. Tell us the terminal when you book and we will note it on your confirmation.
