Cruise Terminal Transportation NYC
Cruise Terminal Transportation NYC with Driver — Mercedes Sprinter
Cruise terminal transportation in NYC is a chauffeured Mercedes Sprinter that carries your group and its cruise luggage to Manhattan, Brooklyn or Cape Liberty in Bayonne, and back again when the ship returns. The trip is planned around your boarding window and the terminal your cruise line assigned.

Manhattan Cruise Terminal Shuttle
The Manhattan Cruise Terminal uses Piers 88 and 90 on the West Side along the Hudson, near Midtown hotels. Boarding times are staggered by the cruise line, so send the time on your boarding pass. The chauffeur arrives with the loading point already agreed.
Brooklyn Cruise Terminal
The Brooklyn Cruise Terminal is in Red Hook, away from the main subway lines, which makes a private van the easy way to arrive with a family and its bags. Confirm the pier entrance with your cruise documents, and we plan the approach.
Cape Liberty Bayonne
Cape Liberty in Bayonne, New Jersey, is across the harbor from Manhattan. From Manhattan the trip uses a Hudson crossing and New Jersey roads to reach Bayonne, with time allowed before the boarding cut-off. Say which tunnel you prefer to avoid, and the chauffeur decides on live traffic.
JFK/Newark to Cruise Port
Flying in the day before, or the same morning? Send the airline and flight, and we confirm the chauffeur meeting point and the airport’s designated vehicle pickup area before the drive to the pier. Allow extra time on a same-day plan, since a delayed flight eats the boarding window.
Luggage for Cruise Groups
A cruise group tends to bring a checked bag per person, plus a carry-on and sometimes a garment bag. The Executive's rear luggage bay is separate from the seats, so the cabin stays open. If the load will not fit, ask about two vehicles rather than stack bags in the aisle.
Day-of timing for boarding
Cruise lines assign boarding windows to keep the terminal moving, and arriving early is not always rewarded. Follow the time on your documents. If the window opens at noon, plan around that time and allow for terminal queues.
Mornings when the ship returns
Ships arrive on different schedules and passengers leave in waves, so confirm the pickup window. Give us the ship's arrival time and your assigned exit group, and the chauffeur plans around it.
Pricing a chauffeured cruise terminal journey
A direct trip is priced for its route. If the plan includes waiting or a stop, hourly service starts at $200/hour with a 3-hour minimum ($600). A port transfer is not priced like an airport ride, so ask for the port quote.
How to book your Sprinter and driver

Cruise Terminal Transportation NYC with Driver — Mercedes Sprinter FAQ
Is the cruise return included?
Only if you book it. Send the ship's arrival time and your destination, and we quote it as its own leg.
Is a port transfer priced like an airport ride?
No. It is priced for its own route and hours, so the published airport fares do not apply.
How early should we be at the terminal?
Follow your cruise line’s boarding time. We plan the pickup to arrive inside that window with a cushion.
Can the van carry oversize luggage or a wheelchair?
Tell us in the request. The Executive’s rear bay takes large cases, and a wheelchair-accessible Sprinter is available across the tri-state.
Do you serve cruises from other ports?
Yes, anywhere in the tri-state. Give the terminal address and we quote it.
Do you help with the luggage tags or check-in?
No. The chauffeur loads and unloads bags, and the terminal handles check-in.
Can the van go from the cruise terminal to the airport?
Yes. Book the airport leg with the flight time, and we plan the pickup to match.
