Charlottetown cruise port transportation
Ships dock a short walk from downtown Charlottetown, but the places most passengers want to see — Green Gables, Cavendish, the north shore — are an hour or more away. Booking a vehicle in advance is how you get there without spending your port time queuing.
01
Port pickup
Meet your pre-arranged vehicle in line with the confirmed pickup instructions we send you before your call.
02
Private transportation
Your own vehicle and driver for the day rather than a seat on a coach with forty other people.
03
Custom stops
Green Gables, Cavendish, the north shore, beaches and lighthouses — as many as your port time allows.
04
Return planning
The itinerary is built backwards from your ship's departure, with time in hand before all-aboard.
A driver is provided, not a guide — this is private chauffeur-driven shore transportation, so you set the stops and the pace. If you would prefer a structured sightseeing route with commentary, see PEI island tours. Vehicle capacity for larger parties is on the fleet page.

Ferry
PEI ferry terminal transportation
Neither ferry terminal has taxis sitting and waiting, and both are well outside Charlottetown. Pre-arranging the ride is the difference between stepping off the boat into a car and standing in a car park making phone calls.

Questions
Four things travellers ask
Can you pick us up from the Charlottetown cruise port?
Yes. Transportation from Port Charlottetown is arranged in advance. Send your ship, arrival date and preferred pickup time and we confirm the meeting arrangement with you before your call, in line with the pickup procedures in place at the terminal on the day.
Can we book private transportation to Green Gables from our cruise ship?
Yes. Private chauffeur-driven transportation to Green Gables Heritage Place, Cavendish and the north shore can be arranged for the hours your ship is in port. You travel in your own vehicle rather than with a large group. A driver is provided, not a guide.
Do you provide transportation to Wood Islands Ferry Terminal?
Yes. We arrange drop-offs at Wood Islands Ferry Terminal from Charlottetown and other points on Prince Edward Island. Give us your sailing time and we work the pickup back from it, allowing for the check-in the ferry operator requires.
Can you pick us up when our ferry arrives in PEI?
Yes. Pickups from Wood Islands and Souris are pre-arranged rather than dispatched on demand, because neither terminal has taxis waiting. Send your arrival date and sailing time and your destination on the Island, and we will confirm the pickup.
