From $110 per vehicle — a private transfer to or from Port of Miami and DoubleTree by Hilton Ocean Point Resort & Spa covers 16.6 miles in about 51 to 61 minutes by black SUV or van, at a flat rate. The northbound run follows I-95 toward North Miami Beach, with curbside cruise-terminal pickup and door-to-door drop-off. One driver, one fixed price, your whole group rides together.
The price is per vehicle and locked when you book, so the number you see is the number you pay.
The fastest, simplest route off the ship is a private vehicle booked ahead, not a queue at the curb. After you clear the cruise terminal, your driver meets you and loads everyone into one reserved car for the ride north. A Black SUV handles parties up to 5, while a van carries 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 — pick the size that matches your group when you reserve. There is generous room for cruise luggage, so suitcases ride with you rather than chasing a second car. The driver heads up I-95 toward North Miami Beach and drops you directly at the resort entrance. To set it up, send your ship name, arrival date, group size, and hotel details over WhatsApp, and we confirm the pickup before you sail. No standing in line, no splitting your party across separate rides.
The drive covers 16.6 miles and takes roughly 45 minutes off-peak, rising toward 45 minutes when traffic builds. The bulk of the journey runs north on I-95, the main artery linking downtown Miami to the North Miami Beach region, before the final stretch toward the oceanfront. Timing shifts with cruise-day patterns: when several ships disembark within the same window, the roads around the port fill rapidly and the early part of the ride slows. Late-morning and midday departures generally sit in that off-peak band, while late-afternoon weekday runs lean toward the higher end. Because the vehicle is private, the route stays direct — no extra pickups or drop-offs stretch the clock. Sharing your ship’s scheduled arrival when you book lets the driver line the pickup up with your actual debark time rather than a rough guess.
DoubleTree by Hilton Ocean Point Resort & Spa is an oceanfront resort in the North Miami Beach region, set on the Atlantic with direct beach access, a spa, and pool deck. It makes a simple pre- or post-cruise base, putting sand and water steps from your room after a day at sea. The surrounding stretch of coast offers peaceful beach walks, waterfront dining, and quick access to the shopping and dining corridors nearby. You can confirm room types, spa hours, and resort amenities on the DoubleTree Ocean Point official site, and read more about the property and the surrounding region in this North Miami Beach hotel guide.
The North Miami Beach coastline keeps things low-key and beach-first, ideal for unwinding before boarding or recovering after a sailing. You can swim or stroll the shoreline, browse nearby waterfront shopping and restaurants, and take in the marina and Intracoastal views a short distance from the resort. It is a calmer alternative to the busier South Beach scene further down the coast.
The flat fare bundles the driving costs you would otherwise pay separately. Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are all included in the quoted rate, so there is nothing to settle on the road. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot, handy for confirming hotel plans on the way north. A bilingual driver is part of every booking. Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice.
Beyond the flat fare, only a few add-ons exist. Trips that fall outside daytime hours add a late surcharge, detailed further down. Nothing else is tacked on — tolls, fuel, and the hotspot are already covered, and the per-vehicle price holds regardless of traffic.
The driver meets your group curbside right at the cruise terminal, greeting you as you exit with your bags. Request a name sign over WhatsApp in advance and the driver holds it at the pickup point so you spot the car immediately. From there it is straight into the vehicle and out toward North Miami Beach.
Drivers monitor your ship’s debark window so pickup aligns with when you actually step off. This matters most on hectic port days, when several ships disembark together and the curb gets crowded. Supply the ship name and date at booking, and the timing adjusts automatically — you never pay more for a delayed dock.
Lock in your private transfer to or from Port of Miami and DoubleTree by Hilton Ocean Point Resort & Spa before you sail. Send your ship name, arrival date, group size, and hotel details over WhatsApp, and we confirm the vehicle, driver, and pickup point so the car is waiting when you step off. Message us to book.
