Cruise Time 🚢London To Southampton Train | England Travel Vlog | United Kingdom

We're back in the United Kingdom and in this vlog we take a London to Southampton train for something exciting! England is...⬇ More Below ✈ Our 220 page guide on how to travel non-stop - geni.us/9VHNx
Today is a travel day in England, we're taking a London to Southampton train for a cruise in a few days time. We didnt imagine being back in the United Kingdom would include a visit to Southampton - but being such a massive cruise port it does... and we're so excited!
This is the site we mentioned about booking trains and buses etc around Europe: geni.us/eurotravel
Getting to Southampton from London on the train was actually crazy simple, England really has things running smoothly in terms of public transport. Probably also helps that so many people from around the United Kingdom (and more) visit Southampton for a cruise, so there were loads of different options.
The train appeared to be the fastest and most chill though, we love being able to sit back and take it easy on a travel day.

Are you as excited as us for the next adventures?! - This is our go to booking site for trains and buses etc, great selection of providers as well: geni.us/eurotravel

[@davidwebb4904]

Sapphire Princess?

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Great guess!

[@davidwebb4904]

Second time you have been "just down the street" from me, only a week in the past, again.... 😕 Okay, so you are back now. Question is, did you go see Donald Trump, Queen Elizabeth, Theresa May today? If not, you could have done. They were here, this afternoon. Also, big fireworks Saturday, if you are interested.....

[@davidwebb4904]

@@DanegerAndStacey Right now, the ship you were on is approaching Stockholm.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We missed all of them, including the fireworks, sadly! Sometimes we have the best timing, others we seem to just miss everything!

[@RhettandClaire]

Safe travels guys! Looking forward to seeing where you go on this cruise! 😄

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks team! Lots of cruise stuff to come

[@flyingthenest]

Soooo excited to see what the big news is!!!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

The suspense must be killing you guys 🤣

[@dmiller5765]

I watched this out of order so I'll just say cheeky! 😉

The full grown man eating a kid box was a funny segment!👍👍👍

Gotta do whatcha gotta do aye! haha

[@vickie3272]

Ooh wow. You guys are so blessed. I know I comment alot but your channel has got everything I was looking for in a travel channel. The calmness,humility and flow

[@KristynaRomain]

Super excited to see the cruise and your formal clothes... I feel like no travelers traveling with formal clothes so luckily you know about before and get ready for it! 😊 safe travels!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Exactly, right! If we met another travel couple that happened to have a suit we'd have more questions than anything 😂

[@tally1604]

Have fun cruising, guys!

[@TravellersRelish]

Haha you guys never look homeless. Looking forward to seeing your dressier outfits on the cruise🙂

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Haha maybe thats more what our parents with joke with us because of the rips in our clothes haha

[@UlliStein]

Suburban traines around London are great!! Coming from Munich, I visited friends in Brighton and Bexley and went to London by SouthEasterner, and I was so happy with the comfortable, reliable trains there. Compared to Munich, I am so envious.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

They really do have it all sorted, so fast and easy. The tube is something else all together though haha

[@stevencassidy6982]

@@DanegerAndStacey sorry, what's wrong with the tube?

[@RexWaldron]

Yay you've cracked 90k subscribers! Southampton (for us Brits anyway) had to mean something to do with ships/cruises etc. My first memory of it was sailing on the ferry to Le Have in France back in 1966 - my first ever trip outside of the UK. Think you're going to love the cruise - my son plays drums in cruise ship bands and he says it's a pretty awesome experience on board!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We definitely expected you, and other Brits, to click instantly when we said Southampton! 1966, damn, that must have been quite the journey back then - hope you vlogged it 🤣

[@RexWaldron]

@@DanegerAndStacey ha ha only 35mm in those days! We had a seriously rough crossing on the way back and my Mom was so poorly that I had to navigate us home from Southampton. I was only 11 so it was quite a task but I managed it 😁

[@northernbloke]

Always interesting to see what travellers choose to do in your own country. Been hearing a lot of bad things about cruises in the Med recently, contributing to overtourism, including the run away cruise ship in Venice a couple of days ago

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We saw a video of that as well, apparently a line snapped from the tug and the ship just cruised on into the dock! Crazy stuff. Will be sharing as much cruise stuff as we can soon :)

[@CravingCanada]

Ooh!! I’ve never been but would love to visit. English countryside is on my bucket list. Can’t wait for this series guys!! Hope you are doing well.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

England is a beautiful place! Most people think of it as just London but from our experiences South and the South West coast, we're blown away.

[@walkNride1]

Absolute rockstars. Get those beers in ya!!! Look forward to cruise 🚢 vids

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Quite a few beers on the cruise, thats for damn sure haha

[@walkNride1]

@@DanegerAndStacey expected :)

[@IAMDANREEVE]

Looking forward to the series. FYI I was just in London last month, and tip, if you are there on a Sunday I highly recommend Brick Lane Market if you haven't been. It's huge, full of food vendors and interesting stuff. Dan

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Cheers Dan - we've explored around that area on a food tour a year or so ago (have a video on it somewhere), cool area huh?! So interesting and random around there

[@ozzycord1]

I used to live in Bournemouth for 6 years and I only know the southampton airport. I've never been to Southampton city. However, you guys really took me to there....

[@LameVlogging]

Love watching you guys make your way around our home country! We are currently travelling around South East Asia and seeing mini cheddars / M&S makes us very jealous! We are from Eastbourne which is a short drive from Southampton. Enjoy your travels on the cruise!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thats awesome! Glad we can show you some of home while you're out there eating the best noodles in the world 🤣

[@ciaraplacentino7569]

Hate to break it to you but everything you said you liked about first class (minus the leg room) you get in standard for a fraction of the price. Also seat reservations on trains in the UK are free!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

That didnt appear to be true with seat reservation, you cant even reserve seats on first class with these trains - even the local Londoners that came down weren't able to. We only paid £15 each to go down anyway.

[@themightywrighty]

I travel on that train all the time, I don't think you reserve a seat on those smaller trains, you can on the long distance ones.

[@AnthonyChristopherTravels]

Woop Woop! Love that you guys are in London - Use Trainline to book your trains in the UK - Super simple!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Yeah thats another site we scoped out a few times, seems handy! Digging being back in the UK for a bit, so different.

[@AnthonyChristopherTravels]

Daneger and Stacey awesome! If you’re in the Shoreditch area, make sure you guys head to this street food and drinks place called Dinerama - such an great spot for casual drinks and dining! Enjoy 🤙

[@bobguenther6658]

Looking forward to the cruise videos. You’re going to have a great time!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Excited to share! Have you been on a cruise? Turns out we love it.

[@bobguenther6658]

@@DanegerAndStacey I've been on one and really enjoyed it. I wish I would have gone on one earlier in life.

looking forward to the cruise vlogs :)

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Excited to share - so much fun!

[@catherineb6561]

The suitcase Stacey is wheeling through the train station, is that your "1" checked suitcase that you use? It looks hugh!! you must have a problem checking that on smaller airplanes. I have a large suitcase I can't use anymore because the sizes have been reduced since 9/11.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

That's our 1, yup, it's about the perfect size actually. When it's full it sits at right on about 22kg or so

[@daniellereid01]

The minute you mentioned Southampton, I knew it was a cruise. Pompey (Portsmouth) girl here. I don’t think people go to Southampton for much else 😉 (I’m joking!). Have a great time! 💕

[@mattw9966]

Danielle Reid thank you for not calling us Sotonians scummers! 😂😂😂

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Haha we were told much the same, we've been told Portsmouth is stunning though - hoping next time (dreaming maybe) that we can check it out!

[@TheCraigaberdeen]

My favourite travellers are glaming it up. From Backpacking on a budget to the Caribbean and now a cruise. Enjoy!! Look forward to the vid. I did a solo cruise a few years ago on Costa Cruise , was a bit bizarre having set meal times and an allocated table with random strangers, all couples. I avoided the formal nights, not my thing. Don't think I'd do a cruise again...Maybe down the Nile. Hope you guys make it up to Scotland soon, come visit us in Glasgow.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Haha yeah formal clothes is glaming it up for us, though to be fair, don't think we've ever actually stayed in full blown back packers since we started filming. The odd tactical bunk bed has come in handy though in the PH and Athens! Can see why you'd avoid the formal nights, theyre fun and all, but if you're solo theres so many good bars and food joints why put yourself through it!

[@TheCraigaberdeen]

Well I love the Air B n B's you guys book. The cruise was all inclusive Inc cocktails and Prosecco so just got drunk and went to the casino, won €140 on Roulette, didn't even know what I was doing 😂 Easiest money I've ever made. Take your winnings and walk away. Hope you guys have fun.

[@johnm7251]

We have used this train from Southampton to Waterloo after a couple of cruises. The biggest problem is where to put large suitcases. We were lucky that the train wasn't full, so we could put them on a spare seat. We will use National Express bus next time for this reason

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Good point John - we noticed the same and some friends had a busy train and really struggled

[@DanegerAndStacey]

No surprises what we got up to! Feels like forever ago that we could go cruising! The world has changed sooo much.

[@JakeRyTravels]

Can’t wait to see where you go on the cruise! Plus it’s always awkward with a suitcase when they don’t have a place you can put it! Hahha

[@dfk_zone8274]

Hey guys, if you are still there and you have some time, check out Portsmouth (best in the evening).. It's not far from Southampton and I think you are gonna like it 👍 have a great time

[@davidwebb4904]

They are long gone.....but will return ....

We heard awesome things about Portsmouth from the people we spoke with, shame we didnt have enough time. Like David said though, we'll be back.

It’s not a surprise or a slow reveal if the vlog is titled “cruise time” 🤣🤣🤣 nice one guys

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Haha we changed the title a few days back to help with SEO and actually forgot that we ‘slow revealed’ in the video. Face palm. Might need a rethink 😂😂

[@russellgray1426]

Daneger and Stacey I wouldn’t bother my friend, it’s only because I’m watching your vlogs backwards, only just discovered your channel and subscribed. Stay safe out there, wherever there is 👍🏻

Just the one word, and one H. Southampton. :)

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Trains are the best aren't they? Especially in the UK, so fast and consistent. The Tube isn't necessarily amazing, but it gets you across town ASAP

[@Dream331]

Daneger and Stacey Oh yes they are the best! Hopefully if you guys ever head to Japan you’ll take advantage of their amazing train system. I think you’ll be blown away especially by the bullet train 🤩

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Japan is probably THE highest on our list right now, hopefully we get there soon!

[@gibbo9089]

That's my local neck of the woods. Glad you didn't travel at rush hour on the train. Otherwise it would have been a lot busier and probably standing. Even in 1st class.

I was watching another video about getting the train from London to Southampton and they advised not to use the train if you have luggage as there were lots of steps and no escalators or elevators. How did you manage with your luggage? Thanks

[@DanegerAndStacey]

It wasn't really a concern for us, but we travel often so we're used to stairs and lifting on/in to places when needed. Don't over think it, it's all good

Wonder if it's the QE2 your taking? Hope you guys didn't take the cruise ship that hit the other boat in Venice 🛳️🚢
