Off the ship and straight home. Fixed-fare transfers from White Bay and Circular Quay to Warragamba — the dam town on the shire's northern boundary, built for the workers who made Sydney's water supply — with the driver waiting nearby and no clock running while you queue.
Wollondilly Airport Shuttle meets disembarking cruise passengers at both Sydney terminals and drives them home to Warragamba (NSW 2752) — a fixed-fare private transfer, not a shared shuttle. White Bay Cruise Terminal at Rozelle is 67 km from the Warragamba shops on Eleventh Street, about 1 hr 5 min; the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay is 71 km, about 1 hr 9 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. One booking covers both ends of the cruise. Quote on 0427 143 612.

The fare does not move because the ship docked late, because the queue was long, or because it is a Sunday. Tolls and GST are inside it. No prepayment, no card details on file. You settle it when you arrive. Fares reviewed August 2026.
The fare was set before you sailed. Whatever the morning looks like at the terminal, the number does not move.
Waiting when you land
We size the vehicle before you sail, from the cases you are taking plus whatever the holiday adds.
01
1–2 passengers
Toyota Camry, Lexus or similar
02
3–4 passengers
Kia Carnival or similar
03
5–6 passengers
LDV G10 or similar
04
7–11 passengers
Toyota HiAce or similar
Same service in all four. Whichever class meets you, the fare covers tolls and GST, the child seats are free and already fitted, the waiting is not charged for, and nothing is payable before the drive to Warragamba.
The drive home
Allow about 1 hr 5 min for the 67 km from White Bay at Rozelle to the Warragamba shops on Eleventh Street, and about 1 hr 9 min for the 71 km from the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay. Back from the wharf via the M5 west and The Northern Road north. The winding section of Silverdale Road comes at the end, taken at a pace that suits it rather than the schedule.
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 Warragamba 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.
No fixed pickup time and nothing to miss. The driver is nearby from early and waits for your word.
Ships arrive when they arrive. Waiting for one is part of the fare, not an extra on it.
Cancelled sailing or a changed itinerary? One message moves the booking. Nothing has been charged, so there is nothing to refund.
One message from the terminal doors is all it takes on the day.
Where we meet you
The driver stays close to the White Bay terminal and moves on your text. Nothing is charged for the wait.
The OPT sits right on the Quay with almost no waiting room, so we wait a street away and pull in when you are through.
Then it is a single drive to the door, with the cases handled at both ends. Dam-town streets are compact and easy; the surrounding acreage is not. If you are outside the town grid, give us the road and the property name.
The two terminals
White Bay at Rozelle is 67 km from Warragamba and the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay is 71 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 5 min · Rozelle, via James Craig Rd
Back from the wharf via the M5 west and The Northern Road north. The winding section of Silverdale Road comes at the end, taken at a pace that suits it rather than the schedule. Full detail on the White Bay transfers page.
about 1 hr 9 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.
Get Free QuoteGetting home from the harbour
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 5 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 Warragamba end — with a fortnight of luggage |
| Rideshare or taxi | metered, and surge-dependent | ~1 hr 5 min if a car accepts | warragamba is a long way from Kingsford Smith and a short way from the new airport, and a late landing at the wrong one makes that gap very obvious |
| Drive and park | fuel and tolls plus from about $190 a week in budget long-stay parking | ~1 hr 5 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 Warragamba 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
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.
The route home
From the terminal doors to your street: the usual run home to Warragamba.

Who you are booking with
An owner-operated transfer service based in Wollondilly Shire — the driver meeting your ship is one of ours, not a booking sold on.
ABN: 51 939 227 384
P2P service provider no: BSP-439561
Wollondilly Shire, Macarthur and the Southern Highlands, each suburb with a published cruise fare.
Sedans, Kia Carnivals, people movers and eleven-seat minibuses, chosen from your case count.
Every disembarkation, every hour — including weekends and public holidays.
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
$229 for a couple, rising in fixed steps to $319 for a full minibus. Terminal pickups add a set $10 fee; there is no weekend loading.
By message rather than by clock. That is the only arrangement that survives a disembarkation, where the release order is by tag colour and not by cabin number.
Nothing is charged for waiting. A late berthing, a long customs queue or a slow lift are all free time here.
About 1 hr 5 min for the 67 km from White Bay at Rozelle, and 1 hr 9 min for the 71 km from the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay. The slow part is getting out of the terminal precinct rather than the motorway.
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.
Plenty, provided we know in advance. Duty free, gifts and a fortnight of washing all have to go somewhere, and a sedan that fitted you on the way out may not on the way back.
No deposit and no card on file. Payment happens at the end of the trip.
Yes, the address you give us is where the trip ends. Dam-town streets are compact and easy; the surrounding acreage is not. If you are outside the town grid, give us the road and the property name.
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.
Eleven is the maximum in one vehicle at $319. Groups off a ship usually have more luggage than the seat count suggests, so mention the cases at booking.
All three types, free, and installed before the vehicle leaves for the terminal.
Realistically no. It is not the distance, it is doing it with a fortnight of luggage.
Both, and most people book them together. Boarding-window timing, terminal drop detail and the fare are on the Warragamba cruise transfers page.
Several doors in the same town is an ordinary arrangement — tell us at booking and we plan the order.
One message reschedules it, free. Itineraries move more often than flight times, which is one reason we take no deposit.
You text, we come in. No calling ahead, no guessing, and no charge for the time before the message arrives.

Every route we run for Warragamba has its own page, with its own distances, timings and pickup notes.
