Cruise terminal to Glenmore, door to door. farmland on the Nepean flats north of The Oaks, with Camden just over the rise — and because disembarkation never runs to a printed time, the pickup works off your message rather than a booking slot.
Wollondilly Airport Shuttle meets disembarking cruise passengers at both Sydney terminals and drives them home to Glenmore (NSW 2570) — a fixed-fare private transfer, not a shared shuttle. White Bay Cruise Terminal at Rozelle is 81 km from the Glenmore Road corner, about 1 hr 16 min; the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay is 82 km, about 1 hr 21 min. The fare is $269 one way for one or two passengers, rising to $369 for eleven in one vehicle, and it matches the sail-day fare exactly. Disembarkation is released by luggage tag rather than a published time, so there is no booked minute to miss: you message from the terminal doors and the driver comes in, with no meter running while you queue. Nothing is payable in advance. Arrange it before you sail and there is nothing to do from a ship's wifi. Quote on 0427 143 612.
Fixed fare each way; pickups add $10
The run home is priced exactly like the run out: $269 one way for one or two passengers, with the same steps above that.

Late release, long queue, public holiday — none of them change the figure you were given. No advance payment and no card hold — you pay on the day you get home. Fares reviewed August 2026.
Disembarkation is the leg people forget. Everyone books the trip to the ship. The rank at 7am with a fortnight of luggage is the part worth removing.
Waiting when you land
The class is set from your luggage as much as your headcount, because disembarkation day is when the bags are at their worst.

The inclusions do not change with the vehicle. Every Glenmore pickup carries tolls and GST inside the quoted fare, free child restraints fitted in advance, free waiting on the morning and no payment until the day. Seats and boot space are the only difference.
The drive home
Allow about 1 hr 16 min for the 81 km from White Bay at Rozelle to the Glenmore Road corner, and about 1 hr 21 min for the 82 km from the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay. The return is the M5 west then Camden and out onto the flats. A landmark at booking is worth more than the street number when the driver arrives with a full boot.
Getting out of the terminal precinct is the slow part on disembarkation morning, not the motorway. Once past the Anzac Bridge the run usually clears, and the whole of that allowance is inside the fare rather than on a meter.
Sailing out rather than home? Boarding-window timing and the sail-day fare are on the Glenmore cruise transfers page.
How the morning actually runs
A ship does not release everyone at once, so a cruise pickup cannot be booked to a minute. It is arranged around your message from the terminal doors instead. Here is how each part of the morning works.
Disembarkation is released by luggage tag rather than a published time, so the booking does not have a slot to miss. You message when you are through and the driver comes in.
If the ship berths late, nothing changes on your side — the driver simply waits longer, at no cost.
Rebooked onto a different ship or date? The transfer moves with you at no cost.
Give us the ship and the date when you book, and message us on the morning when you are actually through. That is the whole arrangement.
Where we meet you
At White Bay the driver waits close by rather than circling Rozelle, and comes to the terminal doors when you message. There is no meter running while you clear the hall.
At Circular Quay the marshals keep the kerb moving, which means waiting on it is not an option. The driver holds close and comes in on your word.
After that the trip is yours alone: out of the terminal precinct and straight to your address. Farm entrances off the main road, several of them close together and none of them lit. A landmark at booking is worth more than the street number here.
The two terminals
White Bay at Rozelle is 81 km from Glenmore and the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay is 82 km. Your cruise documents name the one your ship berths at; both are met on the same terms and at the same fare.
about 1 hr 16 min · Rozelle, via James Craig Rd
The return is the M5 west then Camden and out onto the flats. A landmark at booking is worth more than the street number when the driver arrives with a full boot. Full detail on the White Bay transfers page.
about 1 hr 21 min · Circular Quay, tightest kerb of the two
The city terminal, right on the harbour, with almost no waiting room at the kerb — which is why the driver holds nearby and comes in on your message.
$269 from either terminal. Rozelle or Circular Quay, weekday or weekend, early release or late — the fare was set by your suburb and your group size.

A whole ship empties into one rank inside about two hours, and the luggage rules out most of the alternatives. Worth reading before you sail rather than while you are standing there.
| Option | Typical cost (2 adults) | Door to terminal | What it actually involves |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private transfer (us) | $269 fixed | ~1 hr 16 min, door to door | one vehicle, one run home, at a number you already know |
| Train and a walk | Opal fares, plus a lift at the far end | 2 hrs or more, with the cases | White Bay has no station at all, and from Circular Quay it is a change and then still a car at the Glenmore end — with a fortnight of luggage |
| Rideshare or taxi | metered, and surge-dependent | ~1 hr 16 min if a car accepts | glenmore is close enough to Camden that people assume something will be running |
| Drive and park | fuel and tolls plus from about $190 a week in budget long-stay parking | ~1 hr 16 min plus retrieving the car | neither terminal has long-stay parking, so it means a fortnight of inner-west parking fees and then finding the car with the cases |
Neither cruise terminal has long-stay parking of its own, and neither is reachable from Glenmore without a car at one end. The honest summary: a solo traveller with a cabin bag can make the train from Circular Quay work; two people with a fortnight of luggage cannot.
Landing as a group
Eleven disembarking passengers travel home in one vehicle for $369 — about $34 a seat, against three cars from a rank an entire ship is queuing at. Everyone leaves together, which on that morning is worth more than the saving.
Send the ship, the date, the headcount and an honest bag count. Groups coming off a cruise routinely have more luggage than the seat count implies, and it is far better to know that now than at the terminal.
The rank, honestly
When two vessels turn around together the rank at Rozelle disappears entirely. A pre-booked car is unaffected.
A metered trip out to this district depends on conditions you cannot see from the queue.
Whatever you left with, you are returning with more. That is a vehicle decision, not a hope.
Why book the arrival
Nothing to arrange from a ship's wifi, and nothing to sort out in a terminal at seven in the morning.
No booked minute to miss, because disembarkation is released by luggage tag rather than a clock.
The driver waits nearby at no charge, however long customs takes.
No deposit and no card held; you pay the driver at your door.
A cruise comes back heavier than it left. The vehicle is chosen with that in mind.
Capsules, forward-facing seats and boosters fitted in advance, at no cost.

Arrival questions
A fixed $269 one way for one or two passengers, up to $369 for eleven in one vehicle. It is the sail-day fare plus the $10 terminal pickup fee, and any time-of-day fee.
You message us when you are actually through, and the driver comes to the terminal doors. Cruise lines call passengers down by luggage tag across a couple of hours, so there is no booked minute to miss and no penalty for a slow morning.
No meter and no clock. The fare was fixed before you sailed and the wait does not change it.
81 km and roughly 1 hr 16 min from Rozelle; 82 km and about 1 hr 21 min from the Quay. Once past the Anzac Bridge it usually runs clean.
Both terminals, same price. The OPT has the tighter kerb, which is why we wait nearby and come in on your message rather than sitting on it.
That is exactly why we ask for a case count at booking. A cruise comes home heavier than it left, and the vehicle is chosen for the boot rather than the seats.
Nothing in advance. The fare is settled when you get home, which also means a changed itinerary costs you nothing.
Yes — no interchange and no shared leg. Farm entrances off the main road, several of them close together and none of them lit. A landmark at booking is worth more than the street number here.
Two things a rank cannot give you: a boot chosen for cruise luggage, and a known price on a long run out of the city.
Yes — eleven passengers in one minibus for $369, about $34 a seat. With a full cruise load we will be straight with you about whether the luggage fits alongside the people.
All three types, free, and installed before the vehicle leaves for the terminal.
Not with cruise luggage. White Bay has no station at all, and while Circular Quay does, reaching Glenmore from it means a change and then still a car at the far end.
Both, and most people book them together. Boarding-window timing, terminal drop detail and the fare are on the Glenmore cruise transfers page.
Yes, provided they are close together. Two or three stops in the same suburb is normal and does not change the fare; stops in different towns are quoted separately so nobody is surprised.
No fee. We move it to the new date and the fare stays the same.
You text, we come in. No calling ahead, no guessing, and no charge for the time before the message arrives.
