River Cruise Transfer Policy

Arrival and departure transfers made easy

When you book your flights with Trafalgar, you may be eligible for complimentary group airport transfers, or you can opt for private transfers at an additional cost.

Booking flights through Trafalgar? You may be eligible for free group transfers
When you book your flights with Trafalgar, we’ll take care of your group transfers between the airport and your ship or hotel, on the first and last day of your trip, so long as your flights match our transfer guidelines. There might be a wait of up to two hours for group transfers. If you want to skip the wait, you can choose a private car transfer for up to two guests (at an additional cost). If your flight falls outside our Transfer Guidelines, you’ll need to arrange your own transport.

If your flights fall outside these Transfer Guidelines, you’ll need to arrange your own transfers. Please contact the Trafalgar team for pricing. Both group and private transfers may be purchased up to 45 days prior to departure. To confirm your transfers, flight information must be given to Trafalgar no later than 45 days prior to departure, and payment received.
