A trip on the Hythe Ferry is probably one of the best views of the Queen Mary 2 & Queen Elizabeth 2 when in their Southampton home berth, as the Hythe Ferry sails right past the berth.
We hope that this information might inspire you to visit Hythe, where the
New Forest meets the sea. Visit the World's Oldest Pier Train (officially recognised as a Guinness World record). Enjoy a Minicruise to see the visiting ocean superliners. Soak up the busy harbour's maritime activities and panoramic waterside views.
Take a boat trip to visit the bustling City of Southampton, or if you are coming from Southampton take a boat trip to visit historic Hythe and its attractive waterside shopping centre.
The Hythe - Southampton Ferry operates a half hourly ferry service between Town Quay, Southampton and Hythe Pier, passing by Ocean Terminal (home of the QE2) and linking with comprehensive bus services on both sides of Southampton Water.
