NYC Cruise Port Car Service & Transfers
📞 Call (888) 201-0419Get a quote
Cruise transfers are a different kind of trip from an airport run — heavier luggage per passenger, a hard embarkation cutoff, and three different NYC-area terminals depending on your ship. We drive to and from the Manhattan Cruise Terminal (Piers 88/90), the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal in Red Hook and Cape Liberty in Bayonne, New Jersey, from homes, hotels and airports across the region.
Which Terminal Are You Sailing From?
Manhattan Cruise Terminal
Piers 88/90 on 12th Avenue on the West Side, a short drive from Midtown hotels.
Brooklyn Cruise Terminal
Pier 12 in Red Hook, Brooklyn, near the Brooklyn–Battery Tunnel.
Cape Liberty (Bayonne, NJ)
On the Bayonne peninsula in New Jersey, across the harbor from Staten Island and Brooklyn.
Ships move between terminals from season to season, so check the terminal on your cruise documents and send it to us with your sail date.
Embarkation & Disembarkation Timing
Most cruise lines give each passenger a check-in time and close boarding well before departure, so we schedule embarkation pickups with a comfortable buffer rather than a tight arrival. Send your check-in time when you book and dispatch suggests the pickup time.
On disembarkation day, tell us the ship and its arrival date. Passengers leave the ship in groups over several hours, so we set the pickup for your expected time off the ship; text dispatch once you have your bags and are through customs, and the chauffeur meets you at the pickup area.
Airport to Cruise Port, and Back
Flying in for a cruise? We drive straight from JFK, LaGuardia or Newark to the pier, or to your hotel the night before. After the cruise we take you from the terminal to your flight. Disembarkation and customs take time, so many travelers avoid booking a flight before early afternoon on the day the ship returns.
Pickup Areas
We pick up for cruise transfers in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island, and from Long Island, Westchester, New Jersey and Connecticut. Longer trips are quoted by town.
Luggage-Heavy Trips
Multi-night cruise luggage is bulkier than a typical airport bag, so we recommend an SUV or Sprinter van rather than a standard sedan for anything beyond a couple with carry-ons — see our SUV & Black Car and Sprinter Van pages for capacity.
- Executive sedan — one or two passengers with light luggage.
- SUV — a couple or small family with full cruise luggage.
- Sprinter van — larger families and groups, on a four-hour minimum.
Infant, toddler and booster car seats are free on request with a few hours’ notice.
Cruise Transfer Prices
Cruise transfers are quoted per ride by pickup address, terminal and vehicle. Send the details and dispatch confirms one price by phone or WhatsApp; once you confirm, the price is locked. New customers take 10% off their first ride with a code.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you go to Cape Liberty in New Jersey?
Yes, Cape Liberty in Bayonne is one of the three cruise terminals we serve, alongside the Manhattan and Brooklyn cruise terminals.
What vehicle should I book for a family cruise with lots of luggage?
An SUV comfortably handles a couple with standard cruise luggage; larger families or groups typically need a Sprinter van — ask when booking and we’ll size it to your bag count.
How early should I book pickup for embarkation day?
Book as soon as you know your check-in time. Send it with your pickup address and dispatch sets a pickup with a buffer for traffic, so you arrive before your cruise line’s check-in closes.
Can you take us from the airport straight to the cruise port?
Yes. We drive from JFK, LaGuardia or Newark to the Manhattan, Brooklyn or Cape Liberty terminals, and from the terminal to your flight after the cruise. Send both the flight and the sailing details when you book.
How much is a car service to the cruise port?
Cruise transfers are quoted per ride by pickup address, terminal and vehicle. Dispatch confirms the price by phone or WhatsApp before you book, and new customers take 10% off their first ride.
