Ports and cruises

Cruise terminal transfers in Bordeaux

Is your ship calling in the Gironde, at Bordeaux, Bassens, Le Verdon-sur-Mer or in Arcachon Bay? Your private chauffeur meets you as you come ashore and drives you to your hotel, the station, the airport, or out into the region for as long as you are in port.

Met the moment you come ashore

Your chauffeur is waiting at the agreed meeting point, as close to the passenger exit as the port allows, name board in hand, then takes your luggage and settles you into the car. All you have to do is sit back and enjoy it.

At the start or the end of a cruise, we cover the run between the port and your hotel, Saint-Jean station or the airport. For a departure, we work back from your boarding time so that you arrive with plenty to spare.

Four ports served in the Gironde

We cover the main ports of call in the Gironde:

  • Bordeaux: calls in the heart of the city, alongside the quays
  • Bassens: the Port of Bordeaux terminal, some twenty minutes from the centre
  • Le Verdon-sur-Mer, in the Médoc: around 1 hour 45 minutes from Bordeaux
  • Arcachon and its bay: around 1 hour from Bordeaux

Make the most of your time ashore

A few hours ashore are all you need to see something of the region with a private chauffeur: a tour of Bordeaux, a tasting at a château in Saint-Émilion or the Médoc, or the Dune du Pilat from Arcachon.

We build the itinerary with you around your time ashore, and plan the return with a comfortable margin before you are due back on board.
