From $110 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Bay Harbor Suites 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.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside greeting costs nothing extra; the Meet & Greet at the terminal with a name sign adds $40.
Bay Harbor Suites sits on the peaceful northern stretch of Miami’s barrier island, about 14.5 road miles from the cruise terminals. It is close enough to reach in a single direct run, yet far enough to feel like a real change of pace once you leave the terminal crowds behind. The setting is the quiet counterpart to the busier neighborhoods further south, and it makes a simple place to land at the end of a long day at sea.
The region just up the road is anchored by Surfside and Bal Harbour, which set a relaxed, residential tone along this part of the coast. You are within simple reach of the Bal Harbour Shops and broad, uncrowded sand, with North Beach neighboring for a few slower days by the water. This corner of the island trades high-rise bustle for low-key streets and simple access to the beach.
When there is time to discover, the rest of the city is an open book from here. Little Havana, Wynwood, South Beach, Downtown, and Brickell all sit within a relaxing drive, while Coral Gables and Coconut Grove offer the leafy, historic side of the region. Shopping runs reach Dolphin Mall or Lincoln Road, and museums and arenas are close by; a single skyline photo stop of up to 30 minutes can be worked in on request. Whatever your plans, Bay Harbor Suites keeps you in one of the most laid-back parts of the shoreline, with the beach close and the noise far away.
Your chauffeur meets you at the exact terminal your cruise line uses, staged and ready as you walk off the ship. The bags go straight from the curb into the vehicle, which stays reserved for your group alone, and from there it is one direct leg to the door of Bay Harbor Suites. The journey normally covers about 14.5 miles in 39 to 42 minutes via I-95 and Northwest 125th Street, then Jean-Jacques Dessalines Boulevard.
Traffic is the only real variable on that route, which is why the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare rather than a slot cut to the minute. There is time built in for customs lines, so a slow disembarkation never costs you the ride. You settle in, the luggage rides with you, and the drive to Bay Harbor Suites stays a single, unhurried run from the pier to the front door.
