Which port should I enter in the booking form?
Use the Giurgiu point shown in your cruise operator’s current instructions. Add the vessel name, operator and boarding time in the reservation details.
Bucharest to Giurgiu Port Private Transfer
A Bucharest to Giurgiu Port private transfer connects your city hotel or agreed Bucharest address with the confirmed Danube cruise embarkation point. Standard one-way prices are €110 for a sedan, up to 3 passengers, or €150 for a minivan, up to 8, per vehicle. Airport pickup is a separate route requiring confirmation.
Allow around 1.5–2 hours from Bucharest, plus a boarding and traffic buffer. Driving times are estimates, not guaranteed arrival times.

Bucharest to Giurgiu Port Transfer Details
Give the vessel name, cruise operator, sailing date and embarkation instructions from your cruise documents. The driver needs an exact port meeting or drop-off point rather than a generic map pin for Giurgiu.
An agent confirms the route, vehicle and schedule before booking. If your cruise documents change the berth or collection point, send the revised information promptly so the arrival plan can be checked.
Hotel or airport pickup: choose the correct route
The standard €110 sedan and €150 minivan fares apply to the quoted Bucharest–Giurgiu Port route. Share your hotel or apartment address, pickup date, party size and luggage count to identify the journey.
Otopeni Airport is north of Bucharest and requires a different pickup plan. If you are going directly from a flight to the cruise, request an airport-to-port quote and include flight details; do not assume the city fare covers it.
Cruise boarding time and contingency
Work backwards from your cruise line’s required check-in time, not only the scheduled sailing. A 1.5–2 hour road estimate is a planning allowance from Bucharest, and busy city traffic or road disruption can require more.
Allow additional time for reaching the correct berth, transferring luggage and the operator’s boarding procedures. For a flight arriving on the same day, discuss the risk of airline delays with your cruise operator before arranging a tightly timed connection.
Port access and the final drop-off point
A ship name does not always identify a permanent parking point. The cruise operator’s latest instructions should establish the relevant berth, terminal or shore-side meeting area.
Vehicles must use the permitted stopping area. If access directly beside the ship is restricted, confirm where the driver can stop and whether port-side assistance is supplied by the cruise operator rather than the transfer service.
Suitcases and mobility requirements
Cruise guests often travel with more luggage than a short city break. List the number and approximate size of bags, including mobility equipment, before selecting the sedan or minivan.
Tell the agent if steps, a short walk or handling heavy bags would be difficult. A passenger vehicle is not automatically wheelchair-accessible, and port assistance must be arranged with the organisation responsible for embarkation.
After the cruise: returning to Bucharest
The standard route is also offered in reverse. Supply the actual disembarkation instructions and confirmed meeting point, plus your onward hotel or other address in Bucharest.
A ride to OTP for a flight must be requested explicitly. Choose pickup around the expected release from the vessel, airport check-in guidance and a road buffer; the earliest possible disembarkation is not a dependable guaranteed departure time.
Giurgiu is not Ruse
Giurgiu is on the Romanian side of the Danube; Ruse is in Bulgaria. Check the embarkation country and address in your cruise documents before booking.
A Bulgarian destination, bridge crossing or revised international route needs a separate confirmation. Travellers must check the entry documents applicable to them rather than assuming every Danube port booking remains entirely within Romania.
Frequently asked questions
Does the city price cover Otopeni Airport pickup?
No airport extension is implied. Request an airport-to-port quote with your flight details and luggage requirements.
Can I use this service for a cruise departing from Ruse?
Ruse is a different destination in Bulgaria. Request the correct route and verify your applicable travel documents.
Is ship-side luggage assistance included?
Do not assume it is. Confirm the permitted vehicle stopping point and ask the cruise operator about assistance between the shore and the vessel.

A simple booking checklist
1. Send the route and travel details
Choose the route below and enter the date and passenger count. Use complete addresses and add flight or cruise information, luggage, child-seat requests and mobility requirements in the reservation details. Do not send payment-card details in a booking message.
2. Review the agent’s confirmation
Check the total price, currency, vehicle, pickup time, meeting point and destination. Ask about payment arrangements, cancellation conditions, waiting allowances and changes before accepting the offer. A submitted enquiry is not a ticket, payment receipt or guaranteed reservation.
3. Prepare for collection
Keep the agreed contact details available, and tell the agent promptly if the travel plan changes. Bring the luggage and equipment that were confirmed. Allow time to reach the meeting point, rather than expecting the driver to collect from a restricted or inaccessible location.
