For Journeys that Matter
LUXY Ride connects travelers departing from the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal with a professional chauffeur through our partner network, arranged in advance rather than hailed at the curb. The fare is set before the trip begins and includes gratuity and tolls.
A terminal not served by subway rewards a traveler who plans the ride there in advance. The same LUXY Ride platform serves a solo cruiser and a business traveler extending a work trip into a cruise, with the same confirmed pricing either way.

Why Book LUXY Ride to the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal
A Flat Rate Before You Leave Home
The fare shown at booking is the fare charged, inclusive of gratuity and tolls, for a terminal where rideshare and taxi options are more limited than in Manhattan.
A Chauffeur Confirmed Ahead of Time
Your assigned chauffeur's name and vehicle details arrive before pickup, useful for a terminal that the subway does not reach.
Room for Cruise-Length Luggage
Vehicle options include SUVs and XL SUVs, sized for extended sailings.
Flight Tracking for Fly-In Guests
Guests flying into JFK, LaGuardia, or Newark before boarding can provide a flight number at booking. Pickup timing adjusts automatically if the flight runs late.
One Platform for Groups and Corporate Bookings
Multiple travelers or a corporate group extending a trip into a cruise can coordinate through a single LUXY Ride account with centralized billing.

Better Safe Than Sorry
Why a Pre-Arranged Ride Matters in Red Hook
Red Hook is one of the few New York City neighborhoods the subway does not reach directly, so rideshare pickup can take longer to arrive and options thin out compared to Manhattan.
Self-parking exists on-site, though space and rates vary and are not guaranteed without advance planning. A pre-arranged LUXY Ride transfer sets the fare before you leave home and brings a confirmed chauffeur directly to the terminal's main gate, removing the transit-access variable entirely.
Got questions?
We Have Answers
Does the subway go to the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal?
No. Red Hook is not served by the subway. The nearest options are a bus connection several blocks from a subway station or NYC Ferry to the Red Hook landing, both of which involve a walk. A pre-arranged car service avoids that transfer entirely.
How far is the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal from JFK?
The drive typically takes 30 to 45 minutes depending on traffic.
Can LUXY Ride pick me up from Newark Airport before my cruise?
Yes. Provide your flight number when booking and your pickup time adjusts automatically if your flight is delayed. Allow extra time for this route, since it typically runs longer than trips from JFK or LaGuardia.
Is there parking at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal?
Parking exists on-site, though rates and availability vary.
Can I book a return transfer for when my cruise ends?
Yes. Return transfers are booked as a separate trip once your return date and time are known.
