Cruise Transfers with CabAir

Cruise days run to a strict clock. The ship sails when it sails, and baggage limits mean you often travel with several large suitcases. A private transfer takes the pressure off, with a driver who knows port access, check-in procedures and traffic around the Forth.

Timed to your ship

We plan around embarkation windows and sailing times.

Big luggage

Vans and estates with room for cruise-sized cases.

Flight tracking

If you fly in to join a ship, delays are monitored.

Return after the cruise

Book your disembarkation pick-up at the same time.

Ports we serve

“Perfect for early morning flights. Arrived early and got me to the airport at 4:30am. Very smooth experience! I've had other taxi services not show before at this time which is never nice, so I'm glad to have found a trusted service for early airport drop offs.”
