Cruise Terminal Transfers

Door-to-door transfers to and from Brisbane's cruise terminals โ€” and ports across Australia. The cruise terminal isn't on public transport, so a pre-booked car is the simplest way to make your ship, and to get home after you dock.

Sailing from Brisbane? The International Cruise Terminal at Pinkenba (Luggage Point) sits about 12 km from the airport and 21 km from the city โ€” and it isn't serviced by public transport. A pre-booked transfer is the calmest way to make embarkation on time, and to get home after an early-morning disembarkation with all your luggage.

Why book a cruise transfer with us

Cruise days have a rhythm of their own. Here's why travellers hand us the ground leg:

No trains or buses

The terminal isn't on public transport

There's no rail or bus to the door at Pinkenba โ€” a pre-booked car is genuinely the easiest way there and back.

Room for everything

Luggage & groups handled

Cruise luggage is heavy and bulky. We send the right vehicle for your bags and your group โ€” up to 57 passengers.

Timed to your sailing

Embarkation windows respected

Tell us your boarding window and we plan the pickup around it and the traffic, so you arrive relaxed and on time.

We wait for you

Flight & ship monitored

Flying in to cruise, or docking after a delay? We track it and adjust โ€” a meet-and-greet driver is there when you're through.

Cruising as a group or family?  One fixed price for the whole vehicle beats juggling taxis with a pile of cruise luggage.

Cruise-day timing, sorted

The two moments that matter most on a cruise โ€” and how we take the stress out of both.

Embarkation day

Cruise lines give you a boarding window rather than a single time. Send us yours and we'll plan the pickup around it and the day's traffic, so you're not the first in the queue or the last through the gangway.

Disembarkation morning

Ships clear customs and disembark early โ€” often between 7 and 9am. We're there early and waiting, at a fixed price, so you're not fighting for a scarce taxi with a thousand other passengers.

Book both legs together

Lock in the trip out and the trip home in one booking. It's one less thing to think about at sea, and guarantees a car is there on the morning you dock.

More than a ride

Add a night, or a day, either side of your cruise

Flying in the day before you sail, or staying on after you dock? As part of the Cooee Tours family we can pair your transfer with a pre- or post-cruise hotel, a city stay, or a day tour of Brisbane and the coast โ€” same trusted drivers, same Mercedes fleet, one easy booking.

Cruise transfers, answered

How far is Brisbane Cruise Terminal from the airport?
The Brisbane International Cruise Terminal at Pinkenba is about 12 km from Brisbane Airport โ€” roughly a 15-minute drive. Fixed transfers start from $55.
Is the cruise terminal serviced by public transport?
No. The terminal at Luggage Point is not currently on any train or bus route, so a pre-booked transfer, taxi or rideshare is the way to get there. A fixed-fare transfer is the simplest option, especially with luggage.
Can you handle large groups and lots of luggage?
Yes. Cruise luggage is bulky, so we match the vehicle to your bags and party โ€” sedans for couples through to people movers for up to 57 passengers.
Will you wait if disembarkation or customs runs late?
Yes. We monitor your ship's arrival and build in time for customs, so your driver is waiting when you come through โ€” at no extra charge.
Do you pick up from hotels and homes, not just the airport?
Absolutely. We collect from any hotel, home or address across Brisbane and beyond, and can add a pre- or post-cruise hotel stay through the Cooee Tours network.
Can you also transfer to Portside Wharf or interstate terminals?
Yes โ€” we serve Portside Wharf at Hamilton and, for interstate sailings, Sydney's White Bay and Overseas Passenger Terminal, plus major ports around Australia.
