Cruise Port Transfers · Bordeaux
Bordeaux welcomes river-cruise vessels at quays along the Garonne, close to the centre and the Chartrons. Larger ocean liners cannot reach the city and call further downstream on the Gironde estuary instead. We meet both kinds of passenger, at the quay, the airport or the station, and drive them wherever the day leads, at a fixed fare agreed in advance.
Business district
Our chauffeurs work daily around Bordeaux Euratlantique, with regular runs to Place de la Bourse, the Cité du Vin, Saint-Émilion.
Château visits in the Médoc and Saint-Émilion run on strict appointment windows; hourly hire with a waiting chauffeur works better here than separate transfers.
Corporate travel in BordeauxRiver cruise vessels tie up along the quays near the Chartrons and the Place des Quinconces, within a short walk or drive of the old town. Berths vary with traffic on the river, so we confirm the exact position with your cruise documents or the ship's agent. The chauffeur waits at the gangway when passengers come ashore, with the SUV parked within sight.
Most river guests want the vineyards. Saint-Émilion is about 45 minutes away, the Médoc an hour. A chauffeur drives the day, waits at each château and returns you to the quay with a margin before departure. Because the fare is fixed, extra time at a favourite estate does not change the price, and the chauffeur keeps track of the time for you.
Large liners do not come into the city. They call downstream, around the Verdon and Pauillac end of the estuary, roughly an hour and a quarter from Bordeaux. Passengers who want a day in the city face a long drive each way. We say so plainly, and if the port time is too short, we suggest a closer plan such as the Médoc châteaux, which sit near the estuary.
Passengers joining a river ship arrive at Mérignac or Gare Saint-Jean with heavy luggage and a boarding window. We track the flight or train, meet you with a name board and drive to the quay. On departure day, the chauffeur collects you after breakfast and takes you to the airport, the station or onward to the Atlantic coast.
River schedules shift with water levels and port traffic. Tell us the ship's name and the date, and the desk stays in touch as the ship approaches, adjusting the pickup to the actual berthing time. A change of berth within the booking does not alter the fixed fare, and the chauffeur is briefed on the new location before the passengers disembark.
Pickup calculated backwards from your boarding window and the port's traffic pattern.
Extended SUVs available for parties traveling with full cruise luggage.
Chauffeurs know the correct pier, lane and porter points at each cruise terminal.
We track the ship's arrival and hold the vehicle until you clear the terminal.
