Get a fixed price for your travel dateWhat to consider before travelling from BER to your cruise
When travelling to a cruise terminal, your embarkation schedule is the priority. We recommend providing your flight details, the boarding time advised by your cruise line, the number of suitcases and, if available, your ship's name. This allows your airport pickup to be planned with the appropriate time margin.
If you arrive on the day of departure
Allow plenty of time between landing and embarkation. Passport control, baggage reclaim and traffic conditions can all affect your overall journey time.
If you're staying overnight
Your transfer can end at Hotel Neptun Warnemünde, aja Warnemünde, Yachthafenresidenz Hohe Düne, central Rostock or any other accommodation of your choice.
If you're travelling as a group
A private van allows everyone to travel together with all their luggage, avoiding the need to split into several vehicles before boarding the same cruise.
