Which are the best hotels for a pre cruise stay in Southampton?
Southampton is the cruise capital of England and a city that we love to visit. We always recommend that if you travelling from afar then arriving the day before is always a sensible idea. A pre cruise stay in a hotel takes the stress out of worrying that you are going to be late to board the ship.
In this post we will show you a selection of Southampton hotels that we have stayed in prior to joining a cruise ship or when we have just been just enjoying a break in this fabulous city.
You can also find some great places to eat in our video here!
To compliment this post, when you have decided which hotel is for you, we recommend you also read Cruise Mummy’s Southampton Cruise Parking post too. You will then have all the information you need for a stress free start to your cruise holiday!

We stayed at the Moxy Hotel in West Quay Southampton before we joined the MSC Virtuosa Cruise Ship. In this video review we show you the hotel facilities and take you for a tour of the room.
