From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Charles Group Hotels Miami Beach in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full journey one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
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.
The Charles Group Hotels sit in Mid-Beach, the stretch of Miami Beach that keeps its footing on the ocean while stepping back from the crowds of South Beach. Collins Avenue runs right past the door, lined with resorts and framed on one side by the water. It is a calmer corner of the barrier island — the same sand and the same Atlantic, minus the late-night churn a few miles south — and that balance is a large part of why travelers pick it after a week at sea.
Step outside and the beachwalk is close at hand, a simple paved route that traces the shore and folds into the Miami Beach Boardwalk for a longer stroll north or south. A few blocks down sits the Bass Museum for an afternoon out of the sun. The surrounding Mid-Beach neighborhood carries its own draws too: the Faena District, with its art and dining, sits neighboring, and the guarded enclave around Indian Creek is only a short way off. Everything here is walkable once your bags are in the room.
Arriving straight from the ship, you reach the entrance with the ocean at your back and the day still ahead of you. Collins Avenue and the beachwalk are the first things most guests fold into their plans once they are ashore, and the quieter pace of Mid-Beach makes it simple to settle in, drop the luggage, and pick up the journey on your own terms. If the plan is the sand, the museum, or a slow first evening, the Charles Group Hotels put you in the middle of it without the noise.
Your driver is staged at your ship’s terminal on Dodge Island, timed to the arrival posted for your sailing. Disembarkation mornings pile up at the exits, so the waiting is done before you clear the hall — you walk out, and the vehicle is already there. Bags go straight into the car with a hand at the curb, and the group rides together in one vehicle rather than splitting up.
From the port the route runs across the Julia Tuttle Causeway and onto I-195, about 10 miles that commonly take 25 to 29 minutes depending on the traffic that morning. The driver carries the luggage at both ends, so the only thing you handle is the walk from the terminal to the curb. One flat fare covers the whole run, door to door, with the drop right at the Charles Group Hotels entrance.
