Ahoy, Celine!
Welcome back to planDisney! We are so glad to hear from you again as you plan for your Norwegian Fjords cruise this summer. It's exciting to hear you'll be boarding the
Disney Dream to cruise this fabulous itinerary, as it's one of my favorites offered by Disney Cruise Line. The scenery is just breathtaking, and seeing the fjords in person was a bucket list item for me. The water is the most beautiful shades of blue and green, even on a cloudy day! I know how much you are looking forward to this vacation.
Celine, since you'll be in London both pre-and post-cruise, I have a couple of ideas for getting back and forth using
Disney Cruise Line ground transportation. If you are close to the airport (Heathrow or Gatwick) or can get back there easily, you can book ground transfers on embarkation and debarkation days. Your other option is to book them from one of the partner hotels and use alternative transportation to and from the hotel you have booked. The
partner hotels are Hilton London Gatwick Airport, Sofitel London Heathrow Airport, JW Marriott Grosvenor House London, and London Marriott County Hall. Depending on your location, it will take around 2 to 2.5 hours to travel to and from Southampton. My advice is to reach out to Disney Cruise Line as soon as possible to determine which option is best for your crew. You can reach an agent at +1 (407) 566-3457 Monday-Friday from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm and Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm Eastern Time.
I hope one of these suggestions helps and that you'll have a smooth, seamless trip to and from Southampton. Thank you again for visiting us here at planDisney. Please let us know if you have any other questions before you set sail for your magical journey aboard the Disney Dream.
