Cruise Transfers

Chauffeur-driven cruise port transfers to and from the major North American cruise gateways — airport-to-port, hotel-to-port, embarkation and disembarkation coordination, group luggage, and return-trip planning, coordinated by one 24/7 Nashville dispatch team.

Begin and end your voyage stress-free. YAZ Limousine cruise transfers provide seamless chauffeur-driven transportation between home, hotel, airport, and the cruise port, with luggage assistance and arrivals timed to your ship schedule.

One Nashville-based dispatch team coordinates every leg, in every port, through YAZ’s centralized reservation, dispatch and trip-management process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which cruise ports do you serve?

YAZ Limousine coordinates chauffeur-driven cruise port transportation at the major North American cruise gateways: Miami/PortMiami, Fort Lauderdale/Port Everglades, Port Canaveral, Tampa/Port Tampa Bay, New Orleans/Port NOLA, Galveston, Los Angeles/Long Beach, Seattle, and the New York/New Jersey cruise terminals (Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Cape Liberty). Transfers to other ports can be arranged on request — contact our dispatch team to confirm coverage for your specific port.

Can you pick us up from the airport and take us to the cruise port?

Yes. We coordinate airport-to-port and port-to-airport transfers timed to your flight and your ship’s sailing window, with flight tracking on the inbound leg. Provide your arrival airport, flight number, sailing time, and cruise terminal when you book and dispatch builds the timing around both.

Can you coordinate a hotel-to-port transfer before the cruise?

Yes. Pre-cruise hotel-to-port and post-cruise port-to-hotel transfers are coordinated as part of one reservation, with luggage handled and timing built around your embarkation and disembarkation. This is common for guests who fly in a day early or stay over after a sailing.

Is there room for all our luggage?

Yes. SUVs, Sprinter vans, minibuses, and motorcoaches offer generous luggage capacity for cruise groups. For larger parties or excess baggage, dispatch matches the vehicle or vehicle mix to your group size and luggage, with multi-vehicle coordination available. Comparable vehicle classes are arranged across the U.S. service network; specific makes, models, capacities, and amenities may vary by market and availability.

What if our ship is delayed or arrives early?

We monitor your ship’s published arrival and adjust the disembarkation pickup time accordingly. Provide your ship name and sailing details at booking and dispatch holds the return timing around your actual arrival.

Can you plan the return trip before we sail?

Yes. A return pickup is planned before you sail so the chauffeur is staged when you disembark — port-to-airport, port-to-hotel, or port-to-home. For fly-out returns, the timing is built around your post-cruise flight.

Can you handle a large cruise group?

Yes. Sprinter vans, minibuses, and motorcoaches handle cruise groups, with multi-vehicle coordination and synchronized staging for larger parties. Passenger manifests and timed staging are arranged with dispatch. Confirm current terminal and group arrangements with our dispatch team when you book.

Can you connect a private aviation arrival to the cruise port?

Yes, where relevant. We coordinate FBO-to-cruise-terminal transfers for private aviation clients at Miami, Fort Lauderdale, New Orleans, Los Angeles, and the New York-area ports. Provide your tail number and FBO at booking and your chauffeur coordinates with your flight crew and FBO staff. YAZ does not claim FBO credentials, partnerships, or airside access — FBO and airside coordination is arranged through the operator and confirmed with dispatch.

Does YAZ have a partnership with any cruise line or port authority?

No. YAZ Limousine is a private transportation company and does not claim any partnership with, endorsement by, or affiliation with any cruise line, port authority, or terminal operator. We coordinate the ride to and from the port; specific cruise-terminal access, security procedures, and port policies vary by port and terminal and are confirmed with our dispatch team when you book.

How are the cruise-port markets on this page operated?

Every cruise-port market on this page is a partner-served U.S. market — outside the Nashville headquarters market YAZ directly operates — so transportation is performed by local affiliate operators and coordinated by YAZ’s Nashville dispatch, booked and managed through YAZ’s centralized reservation, dispatch and trip-management process (the YAZ Trip Management Standard). One 24/7 Nashville dispatch team coordinates every leg, in every port, through one point of contact.
