Elegant cruise transfers with reliable, discreet, and professional chauffeur service.Royal Arrival at London’s Premier River Terminal
Greenwich serves as the capital’s most prestigious maritime entrance, where luxury vessels moor against the backdrop of the Old Royal Naval College. At i London VIP Chauffeur, we offer a service that matches the architectural splendour of this UNESCO World Heritage site. Our Royal Greenwich Division provides a specialised urban chauffeur solution for passengers embarking on boutique cruises from the heart of the Thames. We prioritise discretion and elite timing, ensuring your transition from the city’s finest hotels to the Greenwich pier is flawless and sophisticated.
Curated Transfers for Boutique Thames Departures
The Royal Borough’s narrow, historic streets require a chauffeur with expert local navigation and a calm approach to urban traffic. We provide a refined connection from Mayfair, Kensington, and Westminster directly to the Greenwich waterfront. Whether your vessel is moored at the Greenwich Ship Tier or the London City Cruise Port, our drivers manage the "Last Mile" logistics with absolute care. We coordinate with port agents to ensure you are dropped at the precise location for the tender or terminal entrance, allowing for an effortless embarkation.
Rapid Airport-to-River Synchronisations
For international guests arriving for a London-based voyage, we provide a high-frequency link from London City Airport (LCY) and Heathrow (LHR). Given Greenwich’s proximity to East London, our chauffeurs utilise the most efficient urban corridors to minimise transit time. Your arrival is managed via a professional "Meet & Greet" protocol, providing a private, leather-appointed environment where you can appreciate the skyline of the Thames as we deliver you directly to the Royal Borough’s maritime heart.
Urban Elegance: The S-Class & V-Class Selection
For the sophisticated Greenwich route, our fleet reflects the surroundings. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is the quintessential choice for couples, offering a silent, luxury sanctuary that blends perfectly with the borough’s historic atmosphere. For those travelling with a party or significant maritime luggage, the Mercedes-Benz V-Class provides a spacious, conference-style cabin. It allows you to travel as a group in total privacy, ensuring that your belongings and your guests arrive in a single, secure, and highly prestigious vehicle.
Maritime Heritage & Shore-Side Disposal
Greenwich is a destination in its own right. For visitors on a port-of-call stop, we offer a dedicated "Royal Borough" disposal service. Your chauffeur remains at your command while you explore the Royal Observatory, the Cutty Sark, or the Queen’s House. This service is ideal for those who wish to combine their cruise departure with a morning of cultural exploration. We handle your luggage securely in the vehicle, giving you the freedom to walk the historic grounds before being chauffeured directly to your ship for departure.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the journey from central London to Greenwich cruise terminal take?
+-
Royal Greenwich Cruise Terminal is the only major cruise terminal located within Greater London — at the Victoria Deep Water Terminal on the Thames. From most central London addresses, the journey takes just 15 to 30 minutes. For passengers in West London or near Heathrow, allow 45 to 60 minutes. It is the most convenient cruise terminal for London residents by far.
Do you provide transfers from London airports to Royal Greenwich Cruise Terminal?
+-
Yes, we provide transfers from Heathrow, Gatwick, London City and Stansted directly to Royal Greenwich. London City Airport is particularly convenient, with a transfer time of just 15 to 20 minutes. Our chauffeurs monitor live flight arrivals and adjust collection times for any delays. Meet-and-greet with a name board is included as standard.
Can I book a chauffeur for both departure and return trips at Greenwich?
+-
Yes, return transfers from Royal Greenwich to any London address or airport are easily pre-booked at the time of your outward reservation. Given the terminal’s central London location, post-cruise collections are among the quickest of any UK port. We track your ship’s arrival and adjust collection timing if the vessel docks ahead of schedule.
Are your vehicles suitable for families and large cruise luggage at Greenwich?
+-
Yes, our Mercedes V-Class MPV seats up to seven passengers with ample luggage capacity, while the S-Class and Range Rover are ideal for smaller groups. The short journey from most London addresses means your luggage spends very little time in transit. Please specify your passenger count and luggage volume at booking for the most suitable vehicle.
Is this service suitable for VIP and corporate clients at Greenwich?
+-
Yes, Royal Greenwich Terminal is used exclusively by premium and expedition cruise lines, and our service level is matched to that audience. All chauffeurs are trained in executive protocol and client confidentiality. For premium cruise embarkations, we can coordinate arrival timing with your concierge or ship’s agent to align with the boarding schedule.
Which cruise lines operate from Royal Greenwich Cruise Terminal?
+-
Royal Greenwich serves premium and expedition cruise lines including Viking Ocean Cruises, Silversea Cruises, Azamara, Scenic, Saga Cruises and Cunard, among others. It is used primarily for London embarkations and disembarkations rather than full turnarounds. The terminal’s central location and smaller scale make it well-suited to the luxury and boutique cruise market.
How much does a transfer to Royal Greenwich Cruise Terminal cost?
+-
Because Royal Greenwich is within Greater London, transfer pricing is significantly lower than for out-of-town cruise ports. An executive saloon from central London starts from approximately £60–£90 depending on your exact collection address. Airport connections are priced separately by distance. All quotes are fixed and inclusive. Contact us for a tailored quote.
