From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Days Inn & Suites Miami / North Beach Oceanfront in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The curbside greeting there is included in the fare; the Meet & Greet at the terminal is a $40 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
Days Inn & Suites Miami / North Beach Oceanfront sits on the quiet northern end of the barrier island, in the North Beach neighborhood where the pace slows and the sand runs broad and uncrowded. This is the calm stretch that Surfside and Bal Harbour anchor, a part of the coast that trades noise for open sky and simple walks to the water. For travelers stepping off a cruise, it is a straightforward place to land and settle in.
What you find on arrival is a relaxed oceanfront pocket rather than a crowded strip. The Surfside beachwalk is close by for a slow stroll along the dunes, and the Bal Harbour Shops give you an upscale afternoon just up the road when you want it. The barrier-island setting keeps the beach a short reach from the entrance, so the day can start with sand underfoot and little effort to obtain there.
Stay on after the ship and there is more within simple range of North Beach. The North Beach Bandshell hosts open-air music and gatherings, while Haulover Park spreads out neighboring with its shoreline and green space for an unhurried day. Between the beachwalk, the shops, and the parks, this corner of the island rewards a traveler who wants an oceanfront base that feels settled and personal. The hotel side of things — early check-in, luggage holds, and the amenities themselves — is covered on the property’s own official page, so your ride simply delivers you to the door and lets the stay take over.
The trip normally runs 30 to 33 minutes for the 12.1-mile route, with your driver taking the Julia Tuttle Causeway and I-195 straight across to North Beach. There are no stops and no detours: the car goes from the cruise terminal to the entrance of Days Inn & Suites Miami / North Beach Oceanfront, and your group rides alone the whole way. Bags stay loaded in the vehicle with you, carried from the terminal curb and set down again at the door.
Disembarkation mornings fill the terminal exits fast, so your chauffeur is staged and waiting before you clear the hall — the wait is theirs, not yours, with 60 minutes of courtesy time built into the pickup. Once your party reaches the curb, the driver loads every bag, and the causeway and interstate handle the rest of the short hop north. You clear the port, reach the curb, and take one direct ride to the hotel entrance.
