Cruise Port Transfers · San Francisco
San Francisco cruises board at the James R. Herman Cruise Terminal at Pier 27, close to Telegraph Hill and the Embarcadero. We carry passengers between the terminal, the three Bay Area airports and hotels, timed to boarding and disembarkation slots, with luggage handled in one loading.
Airport arrivals desk
Moscone conference weeks and Bay Bridge metering define SFO timings; wine-country days work far better as hourly hire than as separate point-to-point transfers.
Airport transfers in San FranciscoThe terminal sits on the northeast waterfront. On cruise days, the Embarcadero fills with coaches and taxis. Chauffeurs know the entry lane and where the porters stand, and we advise an arrival time based on your boarding window.
The run from SFO is about 25 minutes in good conditions. Many guests land in the morning and board in the afternoon, and we plan the gap, with a hotel stop or lunch near the Ferry Building if you want one.
Passengers leave the ship in groups, so we time the pickup to your slot. The car can take you to an airport, or on to Napa for a wine-country finish before you fly home.
Many sailings from San Francisco head up the coast to Alaska or down to Mexico. Luggage for a long voyage is heavy, and the SUV's cargo space makes a family transfer practical in a single vehicle.
When a large ship is in, the stretch of the Embarcadero around Pier 27 is full of coaches, taxis and private cars, and the cruise line staff direct vehicles to separate lanes. Your chauffeur arrives at the time suggested for your boarding group, uses the correct lane, and hands the luggage to the porters while you walk in. Afterwards, the car leaves without being caught in the queue behind the coaches.
Pier 27 lies within a short drive of Fisherman's Wharf, Coit Tower and the Ferry Building. Visitors who arrive a day early often spend a night in the area, and the weekends fill the Embarcadero with tourists on foot. The chauffeur drops you at the terminal door, avoiding the busiest crosswalks, and returns for the disembarkation pickup at the time you specify. If you want a farewell lunch before you fly, we can arrange the stop.
Cruise terminals process luggage through a security screen before it goes aboard. Your chauffeur unloads at the porter point, tips are your choice, and you walk to check-in with only a carry-on. Medications, documents and valuables stay with you, so we suggest packing a small bag to keep in the SUV's cabin until you reach the door.

Chauffeurs know the correct pier, lane and porter points at each cruise terminal.
