London & Heathrow to Southampton with free time in Windsor
Description
You will be driven in an air-conditioned luxury coach from London & Heathrow to Southampton Cruise Terminal, with a memorable stop in Windsor. At the heart of Windsor stands magnificent Windsor Castle, the oldest and largest continuously occupied castle in the world, and an official residence of His Majesty King Charles III. Step inside this royal masterpiece and experience centuries of history brought to life. Explore the splendid State Apartments, adorned with treasures from the Royal Collection, and admire the dazzling Grand Reception Room, once used for state banquets hosted by Queen Elizabeth II. Visit the exquisite St George’s Chapel, a place of royal worship and the final resting place of many British monarchs, including Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. The chapel also witnessed the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in 2018.
If you prefer not to enter the Castle, your tour manager will be happy to suggest the best ways to enjoy your time in Windsor. Stroll along the elegant streets lined with boutiques and tearooms, enjoy views of the Castle from the famous Long Walk, or take a moment to relax by the River Thames. You will spend approximately one and a half hours in Windsor before continuing to Southampton.
After your visit, sit back and relax as we travel through the English countryside to Southampton. The journey takes around one hour, and we expect to arrive at the cruise terminal between 1:30pm and 2:00pm. On arrival, our tour manager will coordinate with the porters to collect your luggage and deliver it directly to your cabin. Please ensure your bags are clearly labelled with the luggage tags provided in your cruise pack. Once your luggage has been handed over, you can proceed straight to the check-in desk to begin your embarkation.
