- Timed to your ship
- Big luggage
- Flight tracking

In short
CabAir cruise transfers connect Edinburgh Airport, city hotels and the Scottish cruise ports, including Leith, Rosyth and Greenock. Pick-ups are timed around ship departures and flights, vehicles have room for big luggage, and the price is fixed when you book.
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
Larger ships serving Edinburgh typically dock at Rosyth or anchor off South Queensferry, with a tender service to the shore. Smaller ships and the Leith area are close to the city centre. Greenock, Glasgow and Newcastle serve other itineraries. Tell us the ship name and sailing date, and we will confirm the correct terminal and the best arrival time.

“Exceptionally punctual, kept me in the loop continuously, highly recommended!”
“Fantastic service. Needed to go from Edinburgh airport to Fort William at short notice. Driver really nice guy, drove safely and the car was extremely clean. Would use again.”
“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.”
