Dover Transportation from Dover Western Terminal to Gatewick
Posted: Wed April 29, 2009 07:49 PM UTC
We have been attempting to locate reasonable and timely transportation from the Cruise Terminal to Gatewick Airport for a 13:30 departure on June 3, 2009.

Can someone advise what they have found regarding the above? We will be arriving by bus from London, but that does not seem to be practical for the return to the airport.

Thank you.

will detail and link all your options including private transfer (book in advance).

For a departure at 13:30 you need to be at Gatwick by 11.30, if not earlier, to allow sufficient time for check-in and security procedures.

Much depends on what time you actually disembark, of course....disembarkation is not the same as docking. You may need to contact the cruise company directly to get an estimated disembarkation time.

South Eastern Train from Dover Priory Station to Tonbrdige. Walk across platform and get Southern Train to Gatwick.

Check it out on: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/

e.g the 0810 from Dover gets you to Gatwick at 1040.

My wife and I will be arriving at Dover in May on a cruise ship. We are also in need of transportation from Dover to LOndon. The cruise line wants $80 per person is that a reasonable cost?

If you want a private transfer then the equivalent of around 48GBP (per person?) is reasonable. If it's for both of you then (assuming the tour company is offering a bus/coach) National Express coaches will be cheaper and train will be more expensive.

This page gives good info about getting from the port to London, including public transport costs and estimates of private transfer costs:
