Joanne Emery has joined the hotel to create and design pre- and post-cruise packages for passengers joining or leaving ships in the port.
The hotel has also become a member of the Passenger Shipping Association and Association of Cruise Experts as Southampton expects to handle 256 ships visits this year.
Five new packages have been introduced starting at £49 for day guests including lunch, luggage storage and ship transfer.
Bed and breakfast starts at £60 while other packages cost £179 including seven days’ car parking and £199 with 14 days’ parking.
