Cruise Port Transfers · Lyon
Lyon is a river-cruise city, not a sea port. Ships on the Rhône and Saône tie up at quays near Confluence and along the city's riverbanks, and passengers disembark close to the centre. Ocean-going cruise passengers will be calling at Marseille, around three hours away. We cover both: quay pickups in Lyon and the longer run from Mediterranean ports.
Business district
Our chauffeurs work daily around La Part-Dieu and Confluence, with regular runs to Vieux Lyon, the Eurexpo exhibition centre, Groupama Stadium.
Lyon is the gateway to the Alps, so winter transfers to Courchevel, Val d'Isère and Chamonix are quoted with snow tyres and chains as standard.
Corporate travel in LyonRiver ships typically stay in Lyon for a day or an overnight, with excursions to Vieux Lyon, the Traboules and the markets. Berths change with river conditions and with how many vessels are in port. We confirm the exact quay with the ship's agent or your cruise documents, and the chauffeur is at the gangway when passengers disembark, with the SUV parked within walking distance.
Passengers who want to go further than the old town often choose the Beaujolais villages, the medieval town of Pérouges or a wine estate on the Côte-Rôtie. A chauffeur drives the day, waits during tastings and returns you to the quay with a safe margin before departure. Because the fare is fixed, the day has a known cost and no meter is running at the cellar door.
Embarkation and disembarkation days are logistics-heavy. Guests arrive at Saint-Exupéry or Part-Dieu with big suitcases and need to reach the ship at a set hour. We track flights and trains, meet you at the arrival point and drive to the quay. For departures, we collect from the quay after breakfast and take you to the airport or station with enough time in hand.
Guests whose cruise ship docks at Marseille sometimes wish to spend a day in Lyon. The drive is around three hours each way, which makes for a long day and is not suitable for every itinerary. We tell you honestly if the sailing time is too tight, and propose Avignon or Aix-en-Provence instead if those would work better.
River ships run tight schedules, and the all-aboard time is fixed. For day excursions we agree the return hour with you and work back from it, noting traffic on the quays and the ring road. Guests with mobility needs or heavy luggage can be dropped at the closest access point to the gangway, and the chauffeur carries bags to the point where ship staff take over, so the transfer is calm at both ends.
Pickup calculated backwards from your boarding window and the port's traffic pattern.
Extended SUVs available for parties traveling with full cruise luggage.

We track the ship's arrival and hold the vehicle until you clear the terminal.
