About This Service
Port Charlottetown is one of Atlantic Canada’s busiest and most beautiful cruise ports — welcoming over 130,000 visitors and nearly 80 ship calls each season. When you step off the gangway, Charlottetown Taxi is ready to take you wherever you need to go: your hotel, an island tour, Charlottetown’s waterfront, or anywhere across PEI.
We also handle pre-cruise transfers — picking you up from your hotel, Airbnb, or anywhere on the Island and getting you to the pier on time, with all your luggage, before your ship sails.
Shore Excursion & Arrival
When your ship arrives at Port Charlottetown, you have a limited window to explore the Island. Make every minute count — our drivers are at the pier, ready to take you directly to your destination the moment you disembark.
Whether you want to explore Charlottetown’s historic waterfront, head straight to Green Gables, or get to your hotel before the rest of the ship’s passengers, we’ll have you moving in minutes — no taxi queue, no waiting around.
Pre-Cruise Transfer
Missing a ship is not an option. Our pre-cruise transfer service is built around your sailing schedule — we pick you up from your hotel, accommodation, or anywhere across PEI, and get you to Port Charlottetown’s pier well before your departure time.
We recommend arriving at the pier at least 90 minutes before departure. Pre-book your transfer and your driver will be at your door at exactly the right time — no rushing, no parking hassles, no stress.
Know Before You Go
Everything you need to know about arriving and departing by cruise ship on PEI.
Located right on Charlottetown’s scenic waterfront — 1 Weymouth Charlottetown C1A 7M8.A short walk from downtown shops, restaurants, and the historic district.
The port welcomes ships from May through October. The 2025 schedule features 79 ship calls with approximately 130,000 cruise visitors expected.
Most ships dock for 6–10 hours. Pre-booking your transfer means you’re moving the moment you step ashore — not waiting in a taxi queue while your window closes.
