Edinburgh Cruise Ship Transfers – Private Service
£40–£80 per vehicle (fixed rates, not per person)
Start or end your Scotland experience with a stress free private cruise ship transfer at Edinburgh. Our licensed driver-guides will meet you at the designated taxi pickup point or tender dock, assist with your luggage, and take you in a comfortable 6-seater vehicle to your onward destination.
Whether you're heading to a city centre hotel, the airport, train station, or joining a city tour, our service ensures punctuality, professionalism, and a warm Scottish welcome.
Please Note: Transfers are only available in conjunction with our 2 Hour or 4 Hour Tours of Edinburgh. Cruise port taxis can provide simple transfers only. Our transfers are designed to be part of a packaged experience, combining transport and expert-guided touring for your convenience.
