Verified reviews
What cruise passengers
say about us.
Four people, eight massive suitcases, two carry-ons. The van driver didn't even blink — loaded everything, got us to BICT with 45 minutes to spare. We start every cruise with Airport Shuttle Services now.
We fly into Brisbane the night before every Pacific cruise. Airport Shuttle Services does the airport run, we sleep at the hotel, and they pick us up for the terminal the next morning. Perfect system — highly recommend.
After 10 days at sea, the last thing you want is to figure out transport. Driver was waiting at Portside Wharf as we walked off, helped with luggage, and had us at the Gold Coast in just over an hour. Perfect end to a great holiday.
Flying in or out of Brisbane?
Many cruise passengers need an airport transfer as part of their trip. We can arrange the complete journey — flights and cruise terminal — as a seamless, single booking with one point of contact and fixed fares throughout.
