From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Art Deco Marela Boutique Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, the Meet & Greet at the terminal adds $40, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
Art Deco Marela Boutique Hotel is a small South Beach property that leans into the neighborhood it calls home — the pastel geometry and clean lines of Miami’s celebrated Art Deco Historic District. As a boutique address rather than a sprawling resort, it trades scale for character, the kind of intimate base cruise travelers look for the night before a sailing or the first evening back on land.
The setting is the draw. You are within simple reach of Ocean Drive and its steady parade of people-watching, the shops and cafes along Lincoln Road, and the green edge of Lummus Park Beach where the sand meets the water. The New World Center sits neighboring as well, so an afternoon can drift between the beach, a walk through the Deco streets, and a slow dinner without ever needing a car.
Best of all, it is only a short causeway hop from the cruise terminals — close enough that the ride from your ship stays quick, far enough that South Beach feels like a genuine break from the port.
Once you clear the terminal, your chauffeur is already waiting curbside at your ship’s berth rather than circling a lot. Bags go straight into the vehicle, and the route heads out over the MacArthur Causeway and onto SR A1A — a single, direct leg of roughly 7 miles that usually runs 12 to 14 minutes depending on the hour.
Because the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation, the car is staged for the moment you walk off, and the door-to-door run drops you right at Art Deco Marela Boutique Hotel instead of somewhere neighboring.

For a smooth disembarkation, my husband and I had a private driver waiting for us at the cruise terminal to run us over to Art Deco Marela Boutique Hotel. No scramble at the port — we just went straight from the curb into the car.
Minha esposa e eu não estávamos a fim de confusão na saída do terminal, então reservamos uma viagem privativa até Art Deco Marela Boutique Hotel antes mesmo de zarpar. Sinceramente a parte mais tranquila da viagem — do navio até a porta do hotel sem estresse. Sem correria no porto — andamos do terminal até um carro que já estava lá.
After our cruise, my partner and I didn’t want to risk a ride at the terminal, so we pre-booked a private car to Art Deco Marela Boutique Hotel. The ride from the terminal to Art Deco Marela Boutique Hotel was smooth and steady, and we could just unwind after the cruise.
There were nine of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to Art Deco Marela Boutique Hotel was the easy way. The fare was locked in at booking, nothing added at the curb.
