From here you will be met by a member of our reception staff who will book your vehicle and carry out relevant security procedures. You will be issued a barcoded receipt.

Once checked in, you will be asked to remove all your luggage from the vehicle and the driver will take your vehicle to a secure compound within the port. 

You are then able to proceed with your luggage to the luggage drop point and then into the terminal to check-in for your cruise. Trolleys are available within the car park.

On return, once you have picked up your luggage and passed through customs, you will be directed from the terminal to the key collection point. You will then be directed to the relevant area of the car park where your vehicle is located. There will be marshals on hand to assist further.
