From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Dorchester Hotel & 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.
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.
Dorchester Hotel & Suites sits at 1850 Collins Ave in Miami Beach, a short walk from the sand at Lummus Park and the pastel facades of Ocean Drive. That address places you inside South Beach, where the Art Deco district, Española Way, and Lincoln Road fold into one walkable grid. When you step out of the car, the classic Miami Beach postcard is already around you, and the water is close enough to reach on foot once the bags are dropped.
The location is the draw. Ocean Drive and Lincoln Road Mall are close by, with the Art Deco Historic District and the New World Center also neighboring in South Beach. A beach afternoon after the cruise becomes the natural next move: leave your luggage at the property and walk to the shore. For anyone with hours between disembarkation and a flight or a check-in, the surrounding blocks give ample to do without a long journey anywhere.
For rooms, parking, and check-in details, the property itself is the source to check, since those specifics belong to the hotel rather than to the ride. The car handles the door-to-door part; the hotel handles the stay. If your schedule leaves a gap, the same vehicle can be booked by the hour to see the city with your bags aboard, reaching Little Havana, Wynwood, Downtown, Brickell, Coral Gables, and Coconut Grove, or a shopping run to Dolphin Mall or Lincoln Road Mall.
The chauffeur meets your group at the exact terminal your cruise line uses on Dodge Island, organized by message as you clear the hall. From the curb, the driver loads every bag and takes SR A1A and the MacArthur Causeway, so the roughly 6.7 miles to Dorchester Hotel & Suites runs as a single, direct leg. The pickup is staged for your ship’s actual arrival, with room built in rather than a slot cut to the minute, and Port of Miami pickups feature 60 minutes of courtesy wait.
Plan on about 21 to 23 minutes terminal to door, from light traffic to heavy. Traffic on SR A1A and the MacArthur Causeway is the only real variable, and the timing follows your disembarkation so an early or late clearance still fits. Fuel, typical tolls, and luggage assist all ride inside the flat per-vehicle fare, and the vehicle is reserved for your party alone, door to door.
From the Port of Miami, plan on about 24 minutes and 6.7 miles to reach Dorchester Hotel & Suites in Miami Beach via MacArthur Causeway and Collins Avenue. Prices are per vehicle, not per seat: $89 for the Black SUV, $140 for the Van, $200 for the Van XL. Pickup is at your cruise terminal curb at PortMiami.

Sin queja alguna. ayudó incluso con el cochecito del bebé.
My partner and I weren’t up for the chaos outside the terminal, so we reserved a private ride to Dorchester Hotel & Suites before we even sailed. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out.
After a long week at sea, having a private car ready to Dorchester Hotel & Suites was exactly what we needed. Booking was quick, we got clear pickup details, and everything lined up perfectly.
Cruising with the kids, we didn’t want any disembarkation-day chaos, so a private van straight over to Dorchester Hotel & Suites was worth every bit. Honestly the easiest part of the whole trip — ship to hotel door with zero stress.
