From $245 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Biltmore Hotel Palm Beach in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
The Biltmore Hotel Palm Beach sits about 71.9 miles up the coast from the cruise terminal, across the Intracoastal on the island of Palm Beach itself. This is the barrier-island side of the region, where the shoreline is genuinely close and the pace slows the moment you cross the water. Guests who step off the ship in the morning often find themselves trading the deck for real sand the same afternoon, with the beach only steps from where they are staying.
Palm Beach rewards travelers who like to wander on foot. Worth Avenue and its vaulted shopping arcades are the classic draw, a short outing for anyone who wants to browse after settling in. The Lake Trail runs along the water for those who prefer a quiet walk, and the grand old address of The Breakers is neighboring for a look at the island’s landmark stretch. Mar-a-Lago also anchors this part of Palm Beach, part of the mix of mansions the island is known for.
Because you arrive by private vehicle rather than searching for parking, the door of the hotel is where the ride ends. The chauffeur handles the bags at the curb, so there is no lot to cross with your luggage. If you are giving yourself extra days here, the wider Palm Beaches area keeps ample within simple reach, and the island’s landmarks, shopping, and shoreline all sit within the same compact stretch you will call home for the stay.
The journey runs as one direct leg on I-95, roughly 71.9 miles from the terminal to the door of the Biltmore Hotel Palm Beach. Plan on somewhere between 94 and 109 minutes, depending on whether you set out in quiet hours or into rush-hour traffic. Disembarkation mornings back up fast at the terminal exits, so your chauffeur is staged and waiting before you clear the hall — the wait belongs to the driver, not to you.
You are met curbside at your own terminal rather than sent to a parking lot to find the car. The chauffeur loads every bag at the curb, keeps your luggage in the vehicle for the full drive, and delivers your group straight to the hotel entrance. Gas, standard tolls, and bag assistance are already inside the flat rate, so nothing is added along the way. The vehicle is yours alone for the journey, timed to your ship’s arrival and built around your group.
