Cruise Transfers
Our Baltimore cruise terminal car service gets you from home, hotel or airport to the Cruise Maryland terminal with time to spare.
Updated
We reply with an all-inclusive price, usually within 15 minutes.
Our Baltimore cruise terminal car service is built for travelers who would rather not park at the port, drag suitcases onto a shuttle or leave the car at a hotel for a week. We pick you up at your door, at BWI or at a Washington or Virginia hotel, load the luggage and drop you at the Cruise Maryland terminal in South Baltimore with time to spare before your sailing. A&A Limousine tracks your flight if you are arriving the same day, and the chauffeur waits with a name sign at baggage claim.
We run cruise transfers across New York, New Jersey, Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia and Texas, so a sailing from Baltimore can start from Manhattan, Princeton, Arlington or even Houston if you are connecting. Choose a luxury sedan for two travelers with a few bags, a luxury SUV for a family with more luggage, or a Mercedes Sprinter Van for a group. For the airport side of the trip, pair this with our airport transportation service.

Fleet
Planning
Cruise luggage decides the vehicle more often than the headcount does: two large suitcases per person plus carry-ons will not fit in a sedan built for three. The rows below match the most common parties to vehicles from our fleet, and every booking for a Baltimore cruise terminal car service can combine several vehicles under one reservation.
| Who is riding | Recommended vehicles | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| One or two travelers with two or three suitcases | Luxury Sedan | Quiet cabin and trunk space for a couple heading straight to the ship. |
| Family of four to seven with checked bags | Luxury SUV | Room for four to eight bags and carpool seating from BWI or the DC suburbs. |
| Six to ten cruisers with a mountain of luggage | Mercedes Sprinter Van | Forward-facing captain's chairs, USB charging and a luggage bay that swallows cruise bags. |
| Group of 12 to 18 sailing together | Mini Bus | Reclining seats and luggage storage keep a multi-cabin party on one schedule. |
| Large family reunion or church group | Charter Bus | Up to 56 passengers, under-floor luggage bays and one drop-off at the terminal curb. |
| Pre-cruise night out in Baltimore | Stretch Limousine or SUV Stretch Limo | Wraparound seating and a bar area for the evening before embarkation day. |
Pricing
This service is priced as a flat transfer between your pickup address and the terminal, not by the hour, so the quote you receive is the total. Every quote is all-inclusive: gratuity, tolls and fees are explained upfront, and there are no surprises on the day.

|---|---|---|---|
| Luxury SUV | Up to 7 | 3 hours | Quote in 15 minutes |

| Mercedes Sprinter Van | 10 to 15 | 3 hours | Quote in 15 minutes |
| Mini Bus | 18 to 30 | 3 hours | Quote in 15 minutes |
Included in every quote: chauffeur gratuity, tolls, fuel and parking. Distance from your pickup point, day of the week and time of day affect the quote; peak sailing weekends in summer and around holidays may carry a higher rate.

Sample schedule
This illustrative schedule shows how a Baltimore cruise terminal transfer usually runs for a family of five sailing from Cruise Maryland on a seven-night itinerary. Times are built backwards from the ship's boarding window, with a buffer for the tunnel and terminal traffic.
Times are an example only; your planner builds your schedule from your ship's boarding window, your hotel and your airport.
How it works
Beyond the big day
Most cruise reservations are one leg of a longer trip. Put the whole thing on one reservation and the same point of contact handles every pickup.
Fly into BWI, Reagan National or Dulles and stay overnight near the port. Our airport transportation includes flight tracking and 60 minutes of free wait time on domestic arrivals, so a delayed flight does not cost you the ride.
For first-time cruisers or older parents traveling alone, a chauffeur can wait inside baggage claim with a name sign at BWI, DCA or IAD and walk the party out to the vehicle. See meet & greet airport service.
Groups flying into Martin State or Signature BWI can be collected planeside and driven to the terminal. Our FBO airport limo service covers the fixed-base operators around Baltimore.
Disembark and go straight to a Capitol Hill hotel, an Alexandria townhouse or a Tysons office rather than back to the airport. One reservation can cover the terminal pickup and the days of hourly limo service that follow.
When a family reunion or club sails together, a mini bus or charter bus moves everyone from the hotel block to the terminal in one run, with luggage bays underneath.
Sailing out of Baltimore but flying home from New York or Norfolk? A city to city car service leg connects the terminal to the next airport without a separate booking.
Locations
Cruise passengers from New York and Long Island usually sail from Manhattan or Cape Liberty rather than Baltimore, but the same trip applies in reverse: a car from your door to the pier, or a long ride south when the sailing leaves from Maryland. Our Baltimore cruise terminal car service handles that run from Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, Westchester and Long Island, allowing for the Cross Bronx, the New Jersey Turnpike and the Delaware Memorial Bridge. Winter ice and summer shore traffic both add time, so we build the pickup around your ship's boarding window. Tell the reservation team the ship name and sailing date when you book, and send your flight details if you are arriving by air at JFK or LaGuardia first.
North and Central Jersey sit closest to the Cruise Maryland terminal, and the run down I-95 through Delaware is one of our most common cruise transfers. AA Limo picks up in Newark, Jersey City, Hoboken, Princeton and along the Jersey Shore, timing the drive around rush hour on the Turnpike and the Delaware Memorial Bridge. Travelers flying in first can be met at Newark Liberty and driven straight to the pier, with flight tracking and 60 minutes of free wait time on domestic arrivals. Shore departures in summer need extra margin on the Garden State Parkway, so we set the pickup earlier than the map suggests.
Washington is the shortest run to the cruise terminal, roughly an hour up I-95 through Baltimore, which makes this service practical for a same-morning departure. We collect from Capitol Hill, Georgetown and the downtown hotels, or from Reagan National and Union Station if you are arriving by plane or train that day. Security zones around the federal buildings can slow a downtown pickup, so your chauffeur arrives 15 minutes early and confirms the exact door. Fall and spring sailing dates are the busiest, and a weekday morning departure clears the Beltway more easily than a Friday afternoon.
Maryland passengers are closest of all, and the terminal sits off I-95 in South Baltimore near the Fort McHenry Tunnel. A&A Limousine covers Baltimore, Bethesda, Rockville, Silver Spring, Annapolis and Columbia, plus BWI arrivals for anyone flying in the same morning. Annapolis and the Eastern Shore need the Bay Bridge in the plan, which backs up on summer weekends and holiday Fridays, so we allow extra time on those dates. Send the ship name and sailing date when you book so the chauffeur knows which drop-off lane and luggage rules apply at the pier.
Virginia passengers usually face the longest drive of the Mid-Atlantic group, so we plan the run up I-95 past Fredericksburg and the Mixing Bowl carefully. A&A Limousine Service collects in Arlington, Alexandria, Tysons, Reston, Fairfax and Loudoun County, and meets Dulles arrivals who are heading straight to the ship. For a morning sailing we often suggest a pre-dawn pickup to clear the Beltway before the commute builds. Wine country departures in Loudoun add rural road time before the highway, so we confirm the address and gate access in advance.
Texas passengers reach Maryland by air, so the trip usually starts at IAH, Hobby, DFW, Love Field or Austin-Bergstrom. AA Limousine Service meets you inside the terminal, tracks the flight and allows 60 minutes of free wait time on domestic arrivals, then drives you to the pier or to a hotel the night before the sailing. If your flight lands too late for a same-day boarding, we arrange the hotel-to-terminal leg the next morning. Groups flying in together can travel in one vehicle, from a Luxury SUV up to a Charter Bus, with one point of contact for the whole party.

FAQs
Pricing depends on your pickup address, the vehicle class and the date, since distance and time on I-95 drive the quote. Gratuity, tolls and fees are included and explained upfront. Send your pickup address, passenger count, luggage and sailing date, and we will return an all-inclusive quote, usually within 15 minutes.
For airport and cruise transfers, 24 hours is usually enough, and same-day is often possible when vehicles are available. For a group sailing, a party bus or a holiday weekend departure, book a week or more ahead. Send the ship name and sailing date when you reserve so the timing matches your boarding window.
We work backward from your ship's boarding time and add a buffer for traffic and terminal queues. From DC that usually means a pickup about three hours before boarding, and from Virginia or New Jersey earlier still. Your chauffeur arrives 15 minutes before the scheduled pickup time.
We track your flight, so a delayed arrival does not cancel the ride. Domestic arrivals include 60 minutes of free wait time, and the chauffeur meets you inside the terminal at BWI, Reagan National, Dulles, Newark, JFK, LaGuardia and the Texas airports. Tell the reservation team your flight number when you book.
A Luxury Sedan suits two people with a few suitcases, and a Luxury SUV carries up to seven passengers with four to eight bags. Families and groups often choose the Mercedes Sprinter Van for luggage space, while larger parties sailing together can book a Mini Bus or Charter Bus under one reservation.
Yes. Several vehicles can run under one reservation with one point of contact, so a group from a hotel, church or office arrives together. Tell us the passenger count and luggage when you book, and we will match the vehicles to the party and confirm the meeting point.
Yes. Cruise terminals have their own drop-off and pickup lanes and luggage rules, and your chauffeur follows them. Send the ship name and sailing date when you book so we know the terminal, the sailing and the return date, and tell the reservation team about any special requests when you book.
Yes. We cover New York, New Jersey, Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia and Texas, including long-distance trips between them. That means a pickup in Manhattan, Arlington, Princeton or Houston can all connect to the Cruise Maryland terminal, with the airport leg handled on the same reservation if you are flying in.
