From $89 per vehicle — a private transfer to or from Port of Miami and 1 Hotel South Beach takes 5 to 30 minutes in a black SUV or climate-controlled van at a flat rate. Your bilingual driver collects your group at the cruise terminal and drives door-to-door to 2341 Collins Avenue in Miami Beach. One booking covers the whole party — no surge, no shared ride.
The fare is flat and per vehicle, set the moment you book and chosen by how many passengers are in your group.
A reserved private vehicle is the smoothest way off the ship and over to Miami Beach. The moment you clear the terminal, your driver is already there — no taxi queue, no app wait, no second leg. You pick the vehicle that matches your party: a black SUV for up to 5, a van for 6 to 9, or a larger van for 10 to 14. There is plenty of room for cruise luggage, so suitcases and carry-ons ride with you rather than holding up the journey. From the terminal, the route crosses to Miami Beach and drops you straight at the resort entrance on Collins Avenue — door to door, one vehicle, your group only. Because the journey is direct and private, you skip the multiple stops and detours that come with shared transport, which matters most on a tight disembarkation morning when you have a flight or a check-in clock to beat.
Your vehicle is reserved for your party alone, with a bilingual driver who speaks English and Spanish. The fare is locked at booking, so the price you agree to is the price you pay — no surge, no recalculation for traffic or demand. You ride with no strangers and no extra stops, which keeps the journey predictable from the terminal door to the resort lobby. Booking and coordination happen over direct WhatsApp, so you can confirm details, share your ship name, or send arrival updates straight to a real person instead of an app queue. For cruise passengers stepping off with luggage and a schedule, that combination — a private car, a named driver, and a settled price — turns the busiest part of the day into the easiest. Everything is arranged before you ever set foot on the gangway.
1 Hotel South Beach is an oceanfront resort on Collins Avenue, built around a nature-led design of reclaimed wood, living greenery, and direct sand access. The property runs multiple pools — including a rooftop pool with skyline and ocean views — plus a beach club, a spa, a fitness center, and several restaurants on site. Rooms and suites look out over the Atlantic, and the resort sits within simple reach of Miami Beach’s restaurants, shops, and Art Deco streets. For full details on rooms, dining, and amenities, see the 1 Hotel South Beach official site or check availability through the 1 Hotel South Beach poolside booking page.
The resort leans into a sustainable, biophilic theme — natural materials, plant-filled spaces, and filtered-water taps throughout. Its rooftop pool and beachfront setting make it a destination in itself, while the on-site spa, wellness programming, and farm-to-table dining give arriving cruise guests plenty to do without leaving the property after a long day at sea.
The hotel opens right onto South Beach, so the Atlantic, the boardwalk, and the lifeguard stands are steps away. Within a short walk you reach Lincoln Road’s shopping promenade, Ocean Drive’s Art Deco landmarks, and dozens of cafés and restaurants. The Miami Beach neighborhood around the resort is walkable, lively, and easy to explore on foot once you are settled in.
The ride runs between 5 and 30 minutes, depending on traffic and the exact streets your driver uses to reach Collins Avenue. Off-peak, the crossing to Miami Beach moves rapidly and lands near the short end of that variety. The long end shows up on hectic disembarkation mornings, when several ships clear customs at once and terminal exits and the bridges toward the beach back up. Time of day matters too: midday and early afternoon tend to flow better than the morning debark rush. Your driver watches conditions and chooses the cleanest path on the day, so the estimate flexes with reality rather than locking you into one fixed number. Whatever the traffic does, the fare does not move — the price was settled at booking, so a slower morning never changes what you pay.
Your rate covers the whole ride with no add-ons hidden at the curb. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are all built into the price. An onboard WiFi hotspot keeps your group connected the moment you leave the terminal. Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice. Your driver and vehicle are dedicated to your party for the whole journey from terminal to resort.
Your driver waits curb-side right at the cruise terminal and greets your group as you exit. Ask for a name sign over WhatsApp before you reach and they will hold it up so you spot them speedy. From there it is a few steps to the vehicle and a direct ride to Collins Avenue — no app, no hunting for a pickup zone.
Yes — disembarkation mornings are exactly what this service is built for. Book ahead with your ship name, and the driver plans around your debark window so the vehicle is ready when you step off. Mornings with several ships in port run busier, so the earlier you confirm your time, the smoother the handoff at the terminal.
Lock in your private ride to or from the port now. Message us with your ship name, sailing date, party size, and pickup time, and we will confirm your vehicle and hold your flat fare. Reserve early so your driver is ready the moment you step onto the pier.
