Sail day, sorted before it starts. Fixed-fare private transfers from Campbelltown to White Bay and Circular Quay — the regional city at the eastern edge of the district, and the cheapest fare on the whole fare sheet — with room for the luggage a cruise actually generates.
Wollondilly Airport Shuttle drives Campbelltown (NSW 2560) to both Sydney cruise terminals — a fixed-fare private transfer, not a shared shuttle. White Bay Cruise Terminal at Rozelle is 53 km from Queen Street and the Macarthur Square precinct, about 46 min; the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay is 55 km, about 50 min. The fare is $199 one way for one or two passengers, rising to $299 for eleven in one vehicle — the same at either cruise terminal, with Sydney Airport at $159. Boarding runs by deck and luggage tag rather than a published time, so the pickup is set against your boarding window. Nothing is payable in advance. One message books it; nothing is charged until the day. Quote on 0427 143 612.
One fare, either terminal
Each suburb has its own published cruise fare, the same to either terminal — $199 for one or two people.
| Passengers | Vehicle | Fixed fare (one way) | Typical booking |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–2 | Sedan | $199 | couples and solo travellers |
| 3 | Kia Carnival | $219 | a family of three with cases |
| 4 | Kia Carnival | $219 | four adults and luggage |
| 5 | People Mover | $249 | school-holiday family runs |
| 6 | People Mover | $249 | two households travelling together |
| 7 | Minibus | $279 | extended family departures |
| 8 | Minibus | $279 | cruise parties with full cases |
| 9 | Minibus | $299 | wedding guests travelling as one |
| 10 | Minibus | $299 | clubs and work groups |
| 11 | Minibus | $299 | the maximum in a single vehicle |
That price is final — tolls, GST, the cases and any child seats — paid to the driver on the day rather than at booking. No advance payment and no card hold — you pay on the day of travel. Fares reviewed August 2026.
One booking, both ends. Most people book the disembarkation pickup at the same time — same operator, nothing to arrange from a ship's wifi.
Sized for the cases
Tell us the case count as well as the headcount — on a cruise run the luggage usually picks the vehicle.

Every class includes the same things. Tolls and GST are inside the fare, child restraints are fitted before we leave at no cost, arrivals are tracked by flight number, and there is no advance payment — you pay on the day of travel. The only thing that changes between cards is how many people and how much luggage fit.
Door to gangway
Allow about 46 min for the 53 km from Queen Street and the Macarthur Square precinct to White Bay at Rozelle, and about 50 min for the 55 km to the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay. Cruise mornings are the shortest run to the wharf we do, straight east on the M5 and through the tunnel. That does not make them late departures — the ship's boarding window still puts the drive inside the peak.
The motorway section is the predictable part. What varies is the last two kilometres: James Craig Road into White Bay backs up when two ships turn around on the same morning, and the kerb at Circular Quay is short and heavily marshalled. Both allowances are already inside the pickup time we give you.
Coming home again? Disembarkation pickups are on the cruise terminal to Campbelltown page.
Boarding windows, not departure times
A ship does not leave the moment you arrive, and it will not wait either. The pickup is set from your boarding window plus the drive plus the terminal approach.
Treat them as a starting point. Two ships turning around on the same morning changes the approach considerably, which is what we allow for.
Where we set you down
White Bay is the easier of the two to reach and the harder one to leave. We set you down at the terminal entrance with the luggage out, and the queue up James Craig Road is our problem rather than yours.
Circular Quay is the city terminal and the harder drop of the two. The vehicle goes to the OPT entrance, not to the nearest legal parking spot several minutes away.
We collect from your driveway at an hour set by the sailing, and drive straight through with nobody else in the vehicle.
The two terminals
White Bay at Rozelle is 53 km from Campbelltown and the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay is 55 km. Your cruise documents name the one you need; both cost the same and both are driven to the terminal doors.
about 46 min · Victoria Rd and James Craig Rd
Where P&O and most of the shorter sailings go from. The approach up James Craig Road is the slow part on a busy morning, and it is already inside the time we quote. Full detail on the White Bay transfers page.
about 50 min · into the city, tightest kerb of the two
The city terminal, right on the harbour, and the tighter of the two kerbs on a sail day. We drop at the entrance rather than several streets short.
$199 to either terminal. Rozelle or Circular Quay, weekday or weekend — the fare was set by your suburb and your group size, not by where the ship happens to be berthed.
Get Free QuoteThe honest comparison
The luggage is what rules most of these out. It is not the distance to the harbour, it is getting a fortnight's packing there without four changes.
| Option | Typical cost (2 adults) | Door to terminal | What it actually involves |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private transfer (us) | $199 fixed | ~46 min, door to terminal | a car that is on the sheet rather than hoped for, with room for a fortnight's packing |
| Train and a walk | Opal fares, plus a drive to the station | 2 hrs or more, with the cases | White Bay has no station at all; Circular Quay has one, but reaching it from Campbelltown means a drive, a change and a walk with cruise luggage |
| Rideshare or taxi | metered, and surge-dependent | ~46 min if a car accepts | there is a train, and until about midnight it is a real option if you are travelling light |
| Drive and park | fuel and tolls plus from about $190 a week in budget long-stay parking | ~46 min plus finding somewhere to leave it | there is no long-stay parking at either terminal, so it means leaving a car somewhere in the inner west for the length of the cruise |
Neither cruise terminal has long-stay parking of its own, and neither is reachable from Campbelltown without a car at one end. The honest summary: for a solo traveller with a cabin bag the train to Circular Quay is possible; for two people with a fortnight of luggage it is not.
One vehicle, one fare
Eleven passengers and their luggage travel in one minibus for $299 — about $27 a seat, against three separate cars at whatever the apps are charging that morning. Everyone leaves at once and arrives at once.
Give us the headcount and a rough bag count when you book. If the group is flying out on two different flights, say so and we will either run two pickups or hold one vehicle — a much easier decision now than at 4am.
Booked car or app
A metered or surge-priced trip of 53 km has no ceiling until it ends. Yours was $199 the moment you booked.
An app at 4am in this district is a hope, not a plan. A pre-booked driver is on the sheet with your address and your flight number.
Cruise cases are bigger and there are more of them. A vehicle chosen from your case count beats one that happened to accept the job.
Why pre-book the western run
On a cruise run the bags outrank the passengers when we pick the class, which is why we ask for a case count.
White Bay and the OPT are priced identically to each other.
The ticket time is when the ship leaves. The useful number is when your deck can board.
No deposit, no card on file, and no cancellation fee if the sailing moves.
Both approaches are slow on a sail day and both are already allowed for in your pickup time.
Capsules and boosters at no charge, installed before the vehicle leaves.

Questions, answered plainly
$199 for a couple, rising in fixed steps to $299 for a full eleven-seat minibus. The cruise terminals have their own published fare, with no sail-day loading.
We drive to both at the same fare. Rozelle's White Bay is 53 km from Campbelltown; the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay is 55 km. The ticket tells you which, and if it does not, send it to us and we will work it out.
White Bay is 46 min away, Circular Quay 50 min. Both figures are door to terminal, and both include an allowance for the queue at the far end.
From your boarding window rather than the departure time on the ticket. Cruise lines board by deck and luggage tag across several hours, so the useful number is when your deck can board — we work back from that, plus the drive and the terminal approach.
That is the question that picks the vehicle. A cruise generates more luggage than a flight, so tell us the case count as well as the headcount and we send something with the boot for it — a sedan for a couple travelling light, a people mover or minibus for anything more.
No. Nothing is charged at booking and no card is held. You pay the driver at the terminal on the day, by card, cash or PayID, with a tax invoice emailed afterwards if you want one.
Yes, and most people book both at once. Disembarkation runs by luggage tag rather than a published time, so the return is worked off a message from you at the terminal doors — the detail is on the cruise terminal to Campbelltown page.
Yes — eleven passengers in one minibus for $299, about $27 a seat. On a cruise run the luggage is the limit rather than the seats, so tell us the case count and we will be straight with you about whether it all fits.
There is no train to White Bay at all, and reaching Circular Quay from Campbelltown means a drive to a station, a change or two, and a walk with a fortnight's packing.
Yes and no charge — but the ages matter at booking, because the seats go in before we set off.
Every day of the year, with no weekend or holiday loading. Early sail-day starts are ordinary work; pickups before 6am add $20. There is a train, and until about midnight it is a real option if you are travelling light.
Earlier than you would for a flight. The cruise season concentrates a lot of sailings into a few weeks.
Yes, provided they are close together. Two or three stops in the same suburb is normal on a cruise booking and does not change the fare; stops in different towns are quoted separately so nobody is surprised.
Tell us and the booking moves at no cost. Nothing is charged in advance, so there is no cancellation fee and nothing to refund.
