Private airport transfer
Keflavík Airport to Reykjavík Cruise Port (Skarfabakki) — Private Transfer
Most large cruise ships dock at Skarfabakki in Sundahöfn harbour, about 5 km east of the city centre. A private transfer from Keflavík Airport takes you the full ~52 km straight to the quayside in roughly 50 minutes, so you can join your ship — or head into the city after disembarking — without changing vehicles or hunting for a taxi at the pier.
Cruise schedules are tight, and Skarfabakki is not served by frequent public transport. Booking a private transfer with flight tracking means the vehicle is timed to your landing, your luggage is handled door-to-door, and you arrive at the correct berth with time to spare before boarding.

Do you go all the way to the Skarfabakki cruise quay?
Yes. We drive directly to the Skarfabakki pier in Sundahöfn, the main berth for large cruise ships in Reykjavík, about 52 km and 50 minutes from KEF.
Is a private transfer reliable for catching a cruise departure?
It is the most reliable option: a private vehicle with flight tracking arrives on your schedule with no shared stops, which matters when boarding closes at a fixed time.
Can you collect me from the cruise port back to the airport?
Yes — book a return or one-way pickup at Skarfabakki and we will be at the quay for your disembarkation time.
How much luggage can I bring for a cruise transfer?
A private vehicle is sized to your group, so cruise luggage including larger cases is accommodated; let us know your group size when booking.
