The short answer

How much is a cruise terminal transfer from the Northern Beaches?

A cruise transfer from Sydney's Northern Beaches is from $119 one way to the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay or White Bay at Rozelle; Manly is $129. It is a private, door-to-door car, timed to your boarding window, with tolls, luggage and child seats included and we meet you coming home once you have cleared the terminal.

Circular Quay & Rozelle

Timed to your boarding window.

Fixed-fare transfers to both Sydney cruise terminals, from $119 one way. We plan the drive in so you arrive inside your boarding window, and coming home we meet you after disembarkation once you have cleared the terminal with your bags.

The drive

From the Northern Beaches to the cruise terminals.

From the Northern Beaches the run goes down to the Spit Bridge and along Military Road, then over the Harbour Bridge to the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay, or across the Anzac Bridge to White Bay at Rozelle. From Manly that is around 17 to 22 km; from Palm Beach closer to 50 km. Allow a little longer than the airport run for city traffic near the wharves. The cruise fare is the same as the airport fare from your suburb.

Cruise lines give each passenger a boarding window. We plan the drive so you arrive inside it rather than hours early, and on the way home we meet you once the ship has cleared.

Getting from the Northern Beaches to the cruise terminals.

1

Our fixed-fare transfer

Door to the wharf with all the bags, from $119 one way, timed to your boarding window. Child seats free.

2

Ferry or bus to the wharf

From Manly the ferry runs to Circular Quay, a short walk from the Overseas Passenger Terminal — fine with a small bag, hard work with a week of cruise luggage. From the rest of the beaches it is a bus into the city first, and White Bay needs a taxi on top.

3

Driving and parking

Parking near the wharves is limited and charged by the day, so a ten-day cruise can cost more in parking than the transfer itself.

The vehicle that turns up

One to eleven passengers, luggage and child seats.

Four vehicle sizes; the fare follows the vehicle, not the head count. Every vehicle carries free, fitted child seats.

Common questions

Frequently asked about cruise terminal transfers.

How much is a cruise transfer from the Northern Beaches?

From $119 one way to the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay or White Bay at Rozelle; Manly is $129. Every suburb has its own published fare above, for one to eleven passengers.

Which cruise terminals do you serve?

Both Sydney terminals — the Overseas Passenger Terminal (OPT) at Circular Quay for the larger ships, and White Bay at Rozelle for mid-sized ships. Tell us the ship and we drive you to the right wharf.

Can you time the pickup to my boarding window?

Yes. We plan the drive in to land you inside your boarding window, with a margin for traffic and the traffic, so you are neither waiting around nor rushing.

What about the trip home after the cruise?

We meet you after disembarkation once you have cleared the terminal with your bags, and drive you home to your suburb at the same fixed fare.

Can I change or cancel my booking?

Yes. Give us at least 24 hours’ notice to change or cancel; inside 24 hours a cancellation fee applies.

What is included in the fixed fare?

Tolls, the airport or terminal access charges, luggage and child seats are all inside the price. There is no surge, no late-night surcharge and no fuel levy added later.

What if I need to cancel or change the booking?

Give us at least 24 hours’ notice to change or cancel. Inside 24 hours a cancellation fee applies, because the vehicle and driver have been held for your trip.

Can you take a group or a lot of luggage?

Yes — vehicles run from a sedan to an eleven-seat minibus, and the fare follows the vehicle rather than the head count. Tell us about skis, golf bags, prams or extra cases when you book.
