The Isle of Wight is a full-day, full-chauffeured experience. I take the vehicle on the Red Funnel ferry from Southampton Town Quay (a five-minute drive from the cruise terminals), we cross to East Cowes in about an hour, and then I drive you wherever you’d like to go on the island for the day. We make the return ferry crossing in good time for your all-aboard.

No transferring to local transport, no coordinating with other operators — same driver, same vehicle, door to door. The flexible chauffeured format means we can build the day around what you want to see, rather than fitting in with someone else’s schedule.

What’s included

  • Pickup from your cruise terminal
  • Drive to Southampton Town Quay (about 5 minutes)
  • Red Funnel vehicle ferry to East Cowes (about 1 hour each way)
  • Around 5–6 hours of driving and stops on the island
  • Return ferry, then back to your cruise terminal with a cruise-safe buffer

Suggested island itinerary

  • Osborne House — Queen Victoria’s seaside holiday home
  • The Needles & Alum Bay — chalk stacks and coloured sand cliffs
  • Carisbrooke Castle — the Norman castle where Charles I was held
