From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Dupont Plaza Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
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.
Dupont Plaza Hotel sits at 300 Biscayne Boulevard Way, right in the heart of Downtown Miami. Of all the neighborhoods around the cruise terminals, this is the nearest one, which makes the hotel a natural base whether you are arriving a night before a sailing or staying on for a few days after you dock. The address places you close to the water and inside the most walkable stretch of the city.
Step outside and Downtown is all around you. Bayside Marketplace and Bayfront Park are close by, and the arena sits in the same pocket, all within sight of the PortMiami causeway. Museum Park and the Perez Art Museum Miami are a short reach away too, so an afternoon between check-in and dinner can fill itself with the waterfront, a gallery, or a walk along Biscayne Boulevard.
Because the hotel is so close to the terminals, the transition from ship to room stays short and simple. You come off your cruise, clear the exit hall, and you are only a brief drive from the front door. For travelers who want to be in the middle of everything without a long haul from the port, Dupont Plaza Hotel keeps you inside Downtown Miami and near the same landmarks that draw people to this part of the city in the first place.
Once your group clears the terminal exit on Dodge Island, your chauffeur is already staged at the curb for your ship’s own terminal, coordinated by message as you walk out. The bags go straight from the terminal curb into the vehicle, and the car is reserved for your party alone. From there it is one direct leg by Port Boulevard and US-1, roughly 2.4 miles that runs about 8 to 10 minutes in most traffic, door to door to Dupont Plaza Hotel.
The pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than to a fixed clock, and there are 60 minutes of courtesy wait built in at the port in case the exit hall moves slowly. Leaving for the ship, the chauffeur meets you at the hotel entrance and loads the luggage, then takes the same short route back toward the terminals so your day starts on time.
