Come in down the M271, Left at the end & follow signs to Dock Gates 8 and 4. It will involve a RH turn (very slight) at lights from Millbrook Road to Mountbatten Way.

Just AFTER the Dock Gate 8 roundabout(& well before 4!) you'll find Town Quay on the RHS.
It may be quiet, it may be v busy, depending on day of week & whether there are Cruise ships in. Doesn't seem complicated to me, but I know it all quite well.
The roads are all dual carriageway at least - & the speed cameras work!

Hi, not been to I.O.W for awhile but found southampton docks easy to find and well signed, it was coming out of the docks on return that we got lost just take your time to watch for signs on return leg make a note of the route you need to look for.

The Red Funnel terminal isn't within the docks but just past the DeVere Hotel between the old Pier/Mayflower Park (now Kutis restaurant) and Town Quay (near Margueritas and Maxims Casino on the corner). It is clearly signposted. Can be manic at busy times allow plenty of time just in case.

Easy to find just check Southampton dock cruise schedule it tells you how many liners are in that day the busy times are from 11 to 3 when everyone is trying to board the cruise ships we have cruise twice this year from Southampton and both times there has been 4 cruise ships in plus roadworks so check and allowe plenty of time. At easter they were working on the road outside of red funnel but that should be finished by now.

I was also born in Southampton and lived there for about 33 years before moving to MK. The trouble with the Lymington and Portsmouth routes is that they are usually much more expensive than Red Funnel. There is also nothing better of a warm summer afternoon that a cruise down Southampton Water to Cowes in my view.
