Brooklyn Cruise Terminal car service

Brooklyn Cruise Terminal Car Service

Private car service to and from the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal in Red Hook: from home, your hotel or the airport, with room for a week of luggage.

The Brooklyn Cruise Terminal sits on the Red Hook waterfront, a short drive from Downtown Brooklyn and the tunnel to Lower Manhattan but a long way from the nearest subway. Most cruise passengers arrive with suitcases, carry-ons and sometimes children in tow, which makes buses and the walk from the train hard work. We take you door to terminal on sailing day and are waiting when you come off the ship.

Where the terminal is

The Brooklyn Cruise Terminal is at 210 Clinton Wharf in Red Hook, Brooklyn (NY 11231). Vehicles enter at the corner of Bowne Street and Imlay Street. Red Hook is not on the subway: the nearest stations need a bus connection and a walk of several blocks, which is why most passengers with luggage come by car.

Sailing day drop-off

Tell us your sailing date, the time on your boarding documents and how many bags you have. We set the pickup time with margin for traffic across Brooklyn or through the tunnel from Manhattan, and drop you at the terminal entrance with your luggage, ready for the porters and check-in. Coming from the airport the same day? Send your flight number and we track it, but for a morning sailing we recommend flying in the day before.

Disembarkation day pickup

Ships usually dock between 7 and 8 a.m., and passengers typically clear the terminal from around 10 a.m., depending on how early you choose to leave the ship and how long customs takes. Give us your ship and your planned time off, and we keep in touch by text or WhatsApp so your chauffeur is in place when you come out with your bags.

Ship to the airport

Many passengers fly home the same day. We drive straight from Red Hook to JFK, LaGuardia or Newark. If your flight is the same morning, leave plenty of time: disembarkation, customs and morning traffic all add up, and an afternoon flight is the safer choice.

Which car for a cruise

Cruise luggage is the deciding factor. A sedan, the Mercedes S560 or the BMW 750 takes up to 4 passengers with 2 suitcases and 2 carry-ons. For families and groups, the Luxury SUV or Suburban RST takes up to 6 passengers with 4 large suitcases. Tell us your bag count and we will confirm the right vehicle, or book two cars on the same schedule for a bigger party.
