You message from the terminal doors, we come in. Transfers from the cruise terminals out to Silverdale — the acreage belt between Warragamba and Wallacia, all long blocks and bush frontage — with room for everything the holiday came home with.
Wollondilly Airport Shuttle meets disembarking cruise passengers at both Sydney terminals and drives them home to Silverdale (NSW 2752) — a fixed-fare private transfer, not a shared shuttle. White Bay Cruise Terminal at Rozelle is 63 km from the Silverdale Road shops, about 1 hr; the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay is 68 km, about 1 hr 4 min. The fare is $229 one way for one or two passengers, rising to $319 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. Give us the sailing details and the pickup looks after itself. Quote on 0427 143 612.
Fixed fare each way; pickups add $10
The run home is priced exactly like the run out: $229 one way for one or two passengers, with the same steps above that.

No weekend loading; pickups before 6am add $20 and extra bags beyond one suitcase and one carry-on per passenger are $5 each. The quoted number is the number. Nothing is charged at booking and no card is held; the fare is paid at your door. Fares reviewed August 2026.
One booking, both ends. Most people arrange the return at the same time as the outbound — nothing to organise from a ship's wifi at sea.

Every class includes the same things. Tolls and GST are inside the fare, child restraints are fitted before we leave at no cost, and there is no meter while you clear the terminal. The only thing that changes between cards is how many people and how much luggage fit.
The drive home
Allow about 1 hr for the 63 km from White Bay at Rozelle to the Silverdale Road shops, and about 1 hr 4 min for the 68 km from the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay. The return finishes on the same acreage roads with a full boot. Driveway surface decides which vehicle we send, particularly in the wet.
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 Silverdale 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.
There is no arrival time to get wrong, because ships do not release everyone at once. The pickup runs off your message from the terminal doors.
A late berthing or a slow customs hall costs you nothing. There is no meter and no waiting fee.
An itinerary change is a phone call, not a problem — and because no deposit was taken, there is nothing to claw back.
The ship name and date are what we need in advance; your message on the day is what triggers the pickup.
Where we meet you
Rozelle's White Bay releases passengers in waves by luggage tag. We hold nearby and pull in on your message, which is the only arrangement that survives a slow morning.
The Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay has the tightest kerb in Sydney, so the same arrangement applies: we hold nearby and come to the doors when you message.
From there it is one run home — no interchange, no shared loop, and nobody else to drop off first. Long gravel driveways with gates that may be closed. Tell us at booking whether to expect a gate and whether it will be open.
The two terminals
White Bay at Rozelle is 63 km from Silverdale and the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay is 68 km. Your cruise documents name the one your ship berths at; both are met on the same terms and at the same fare.

The return finishes on the same acreage roads with a full boot. Driveway surface decides which vehicle we send, particularly in the wet. Full detail on the White Bay transfers page.
about 1 hr 4 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.
$229 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) | $229 fixed | ~1 hr, 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 Silverdale end — with a fortnight of luggage |
| Rideshare or taxi | metered, and surge-dependent | ~1 hr if a car accepts | no service of any kind reaches Silverdale at night |
| Drive and park | fuel and tolls plus from about $190 a week in budget long-stay parking | ~1 hr 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 Silverdale 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 $319 — about $29 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
Three thousand passengers come off at once and the queue reflects it. A booked driver is not in that queue.
Metered pricing on a run this long is decided by the traffic and the hour. Yours was agreed before you sailed.
A rank car that fits four people rarely fits four people's cruise luggage. Ours was chosen for it.
Why book the arrival
The trip home is settled while you still have a keyboard and a signal.
That is the whole arrangement. No slot, nothing to miss, no penalty for a slow morning.
A late berthing or a long queue costs nothing, because there is no meter running.
Nothing taken at booking, and no cancellation fee if the sailing changes.
Cruise cases are the reason people book this leg. We plan the vehicle around them.
Fitted before the vehicle leaves, from the ages you gave us at booking.

One published price per suburb, the same at both terminals, with tolls and GST inside it; pickups from the terminal add $10. Nothing payable in advance.
Arrival questions
Between $229 and $319, set by the seat count. White Bay and Circular Quay cost the same.
There is no fixed pickup time, because there is nothing reliable to fix it to. The driver is nearby from early and pulls in on your text.
No meter and no clock. The fare was fixed before you sailed and the wait does not change it.
White Bay is 1 hr from home, Circular Quay 1 hr 4 min. Both are door-to-door figures.
Both, each with its own published fare. White Bay is at Rozelle and takes most of the shorter sailings; the Overseas Passenger Terminal is at Circular Quay and takes the larger international ships. Your cruise documents name it — from Silverdale it is 63 km from White Bay and 68 km from the Quay.
Tell us the bags when you book and we size the vehicle to them. On a disembarkation run the luggage usually outranks the passenger count.
No. Nothing is charged at booking and no card is held. You pay the driver at your door on the day, by card, cash or PayID, with a tax invoice emailed afterwards if you want one.
Yes, that is the whole point of it. Long gravel driveways with gates that may be closed. Tell us at booking whether to expect a gate and whether it will be open.
On disembarkation morning, considerably. Two or three thousand passengers come off at once and a 63 km fare out to this district is one plenty of drivers would rather not take. A booked car is already there and already priced.
One minibus takes eleven for $319, which beats three cars from the rank on both price and on everyone leaving together.
Yes and no charge — the ages matter at booking so the right seats are already in the car.
There is no train at White Bay, and from Circular Quay to Silverdale is a long trip with several changes and a walk at both ends. The bags are what rule it out.
Several doors in the same town is an ordinary arrangement — tell us at booking and we plan the order.
Tell us and it moves at no cost. Nothing is charged in advance, so there is no cancellation fee and nothing to refund.
Message us when you are actually out. Nothing before that matters, because the release order is by luggage tag and no one can predict it.
