Choose a Vehicle Around Luggage, Not Seating Alone
Sailing guests often carry more luggage than airport travellers. The practical vehicle is the one that accommodates both the group and every bag without crowding the passenger compartment.
Executive Sedan
Best for 1–2 travellersSuitable for a couple with standard luggage and a direct terminal, hotel or airport transfer.
Luxury SUV
Best for familiesProvides greater luggage flexibility for several passengers, child seats or extra bags.
Mercedes Sprinter
Best for groupsKeeps a larger party together and provides the strongest overall luggage flexibility.
Multiple Vehicles
Best for mixed schedulesUseful when guests arrive from different hotels, airports or homes and cannot share one itinerary.

Good to know
Practical the pier Advice
Do Not Choose by Seats Alone
A vehicle may seat the group but still be unsuitable for the total luggage. Bag count should be part of the first quote request.
Separate Uncertain Flight Connections
When flight arrival and sailing departure timing is tight, discuss the schedule before assuming a same-day connection is practical.
Keep the Driver Contact Available
A reachable mobile number helps coordinate pier instructions after disembarkation.
Reserve the Return Before Sailing
Pre-arranging the return transfer is easier than finding suitable transportation with luggage after leaving the ship.
