Written pieces on a port day: how to visit, what stands on the old town walk, the facts that surprise people, what fits into half a day, and whether the sightseeing transfer beats the plain one. For longer planning pieces see the guides; to compare fares, start with the tours from Southampton to London listings.
Everything that decides a port day, written from the terminal gate outwards. Which of the five terminals you are on, what it costs to get into town, and what is open when you arrive.
Half of a 2,200-yard medieval wall is still standing, with thirteen towers and six gates left of it. This is the circuit in walking order, with what to look at when you reach each one.
A tide that comes in twice and not for the reason everyone says. Four in five of Titanic's crew lost. And a fighter aircraft designed on the bank of a river most visitors never see.
An all-aboard time is not a suggestion. Four plans against a real clock, from two hours on foot to a five-hour run to Stonehenge and back, and what each one costs you in margin.
Two ways to reach the same terminal for a similar amount of money, and only one of them shows you anything. What the extra hours buy, and the flight time that decides it.
The practical answers sit on visiting Southampton and the FAQs, and every fare is compared on Southampton Tours.
