Start Your Holiday In Style At The Grand Harbour Hotel

The best way to start a holiday is relaxed and raring to go, and a cruise from Southampton presents the perfect opportunity to enjoy some much deserved R&R before you even set sail. Located in the heart of Southampton, but just outside the hustle and bustle, the recently refurbished Grand Harbour Hotel is perfect for a pre or post cruise stay. Kick start the holiday feeling and avoid the mad panic to the port, relaxing instead with a walk along the city’s historic medieval walls; a trip to the ever-popular West Quay shopping centre to pick up your last minute holiday essentials, just a 5 minute walk away; or even a trip to the famous Mayflower Theatre to see your favourite production. Other Southampton attractions include Marwell Wildlife Park, Beaulieu National Motor Museum, Paultons Park and the SeaCity Museum.

When the time comes to embark your cruise ship, you’ll be rested, relaxed and ready for your holiday; no motorway madness, no train delays and no frantic last minute packing.
