From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Doral Saturnia International Spa Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
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.
Doral Saturnia International Spa Resort sits in Doral, the golf-and-business district that spreads across Miami’s western grid. This is the part of town where corporate Miami keeps its offices, where a renowned golf resort anchors the map, and where CityPlace lines up its dining a short drive from the hotel door. Travelers coming off a cruise land in a calmer, greener pocket than the beachfront — broad avenues, open sky, and room to breathe after days at sea.
Doral draws two crowds in particular, and the resort sits comfortably between them. Golfers come for the fairways that made the area’s name; business travelers come for the meetings and the campuses that fill the surrounding blocks. That mix gives the neighborhood its rhythm — quieter than Downtown, more spread out from the crowd, and built around the car. Your ride drops you in the middle of it, right at the resort entrance.
Getting here from the ship keeps things simple. The route runs along SR-836, roughly 13.7 miles from the terminal, and the drive normally takes 30 to 37 minutes depending on the hour. Once you reach, the entrance is where the car stops and where your bags come out beside you. If you’re building extra days around the stay, Doral puts you within easy reach of Dolphin Mall, the wider shopping runs, and the corporate side of the city — all of it a short hop from the resort you booked.
The journey starts at your own terminal on Dodge Island, staged for the moment your group clears the exit. Your chauffeur meets you at the curb, takes the luggage, and loads it into a vehicle reserved for your party alone. From there it’s a straight run to Doral Saturnia International Spa Resort — no other pickups and no rounds. The route follows SR-836 for the roughly 13.7-mile hop, which commonly runs 30 to 37 minutes.
Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest stretch, with thousands of passengers stepping off ships at once, so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a guessed clock. The SR-836 traffic is already built into the plan. When you reach Doral, the driver pulls up to the resort entrance and carries your bags to the curb beside you. Traveling the other way on embarkation day works the same, planned around your ship’s schedule.
