Cruise port transfers — Rosyth & South Queensferry
Starting or ending a cruise on the Forth? Pre-book a reliable transfer between the ship, the airport, your hotel or the station — in a car or an 8-seater minibus with room for luggage.
Two ways ashore
Rosyth terminal and South Queensferry tenders
The Firth of Forth is a popular gateway to Edinburgh and central Scotland for cruise travellers. Larger ships berth at the deep-water port at Rosyth, just along the coast from us, while other vessels anchor in the Forth and tender passengers ashore to the pier at South Queensferry, beneath the famous bridges.
Being based right beside both, in North Queensferry, we are well placed to help. Whether you are joining your ship, heading home after a voyage, or ashore for the day and want a hassle-free run into Edinburgh, we will arrange a pre-booked transfer around your schedule.
