Sydney Cruise Transfers

Private chauffeur transfers between Sydney's cruise terminals and the airport, your hotel or your home.

Airport to Ship

Flying in for your cruise? Your chauffeur meets you at Sydney Airport and takes you straight to the Overseas Passenger Terminal or White Bay, with your luggage handled for you.

Ship to Airport, Hotel or Home

Disembarking? Tell us your ship and disembarkation time and we'll schedule your pick-up around it, then take you to the airport, your hotel or your home.

Room for Your Luggage

Cruise luggage takes up space. Our SUVs carry up to 4 large suitcases and our luxury van up to 6, so your whole group travels together.

Pre- and Post-Cruise Tours

Arriving a day early or flying out late? Book a private driver for the Blue Mountains, the Hunter Valley or a Sydney sightseeing day.

Sydney's cruise terminals

Sydney has two cruise terminals. The Overseas Passenger Terminal is at Circular Quay West in The Rocks, beside the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. White Bay Cruise Terminal is in Rozelle, west of the Harbour Bridge near the Anzac Bridge. The largest ships berth at the Overseas Passenger Terminal because they can't fit under the Harbour Bridge to reach White Bay. Your cruise line will confirm which terminal you're sailing from.

Both terminals are a short drive from our base in the Eastern Suburbs, and the trip to or from Sydney Airport usually takes 25 to 45 minutes, depending on traffic.

Why book a private cruise transfer?

Taxi and rideshare queues at the terminals can be long on busy ship days, and not every car has room for a week's worth of luggage. With Vallay you book ahead, your car and driver are waiting when you need them, and you travel in a comfortable sedan, SUV or people mover with a licensed, insured chauffeur. Flying in?
