From $89 per vehicle — a private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Faena Hotel Miami Beach covers 12 miles (19.3 km) in about 20–35 minutes door to door, riding in a black SUV or climate-controlled van with a bilingual driver, at a flat rate. The fare is locked at booking, so cruise passengers go straight from the terminal to the hotel with no surge.
These are the per-vehicle rates for this route, confirmed at the time you book:
You ride straight from the cruise terminal to the hotel door in one booked vehicle — no transfers, no taxi line, no app roulette after a long sailing. Select the tier that fits your group: a black SUV for up to 5 passengers, a van for 6 to 9, or a larger van for 10 to 14. Each vehicle leaves plenty of room for cruise luggage, so the whole party and its bags journey together. The driver collects you right at your terminal and drives the 12-mile route across to Miami Beach, dropping you at the Faena entrance. The same service runs in reverse on embarkation day, collecting you from the hotel and delivering you to your ship in good time. Book the leg you need to or from Port of Miami and Faena Hotel Miami Beach, one way or as a round journey.
The drive covers 9 miles (19.3 km) and runs about 25 minutes off-peak, stretching to roughly 35 minutes when traffic builds. The route leaves PortMiami, crosses the MacArthur Causeway toward Miami Beach, and follows Collins Avenue up to the Faena entrance. Mornings after disembarkation are the slowest window, particularly when several ships clear the terminal at once and the causeway fills with departing passengers. Evenings and mid-day generally move closer to the 20-minute end. Your driver knows the terminal exits and the causeway rhythm, so the timing you are quoted reflects the real conditions of a cruise day rather than a top-case guess. For an embarkation-day journey in the other direction, permit the same window plus a little buffer so you reach your ship with time to spare.
Faena Hotel Miami Beach anchors the Faena District on the Miami Beach oceanfront, a stretch known for bold design, white-sand beach, and a walkable art-and-dining scene. The hotel pairs a private beach with celebrated restaurants, the Faena Theater, a spa, and a striking, art-filled lobby. Step outside and you are minutes from oceanfront promenades, boutique shopping, and the cafés along Collins Avenue. Plan your stay or visit through the Faena Hotel Miami Beach Official Site, or browse the wider Faena Hotels and Residences for dining, wellness, and art programming. After a week at sea, the short ride drops you right at a beachfront base for the rest of your Miami stay.
Faena Hotel Miami Beach is itself the destination of this transfer — an oceanfront base in the Mid-Beach area of Miami Beach, steps from the sand and the district’s restaurants. If you prefer a different setting before or after your stay, the wider Miami Beach and South Beach neighborhoods sit a short ride south, all within easy reach of the same terminal transfer.
The Miami Beach oceanfront around the hotel rewards walking. The beach and boardwalk run right outside, while Collins Avenue and the nearby districts offer galleries, restaurants, and shops. South Beach, Lincoln Road, and the Art Deco district lie a short drive south when you want a fuller day out beyond the immediate neighborhood.
The booking covers a private vehicle, a expert driver, and the full door-to-door drive between ship and hotel. A few items sit outside the base rate and are confirmed when you reserve — a second, and any unique request you add. The bullets below spell out exactly what travels with your booking and what counts as an extra, so there are no surprises at the curb when you step off the ship and meet your driver.
Yes. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are all included in the rate. There is nothing extra to pay for the road itself — the SunPass charges along the causeway and the fuel for the 12-mile drive are already inside your booking, so the curb-side handover stays simple.
Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice. Mention it when you reserve so the right vehicle and equipment are ready for your group.
Yes. Each ride includes onboard WiFi through a mobile hotspot, so you can check your hotel reservation, message family, or share photos from the causeway. It is especially handy on the way in from the ship, when your phone is still catching up after a week at sea.
Your driver meets you curb-side as you exit the cruise terminal, holding a name sign if you request one on WhatsApp ahead of time. Once you have your luggage and clear the building, you head straight to the waiting vehicle and ride directly to Faena Hotel Miami Beach — no hunting for a car in the crowd.
Yes. Disembarkation day is exactly what this service is built for — offer us your ship and terminal, and a driver is ready when you walk off. We plan around hectic mornings when several ships unload together, so your private vehicle is waiting whether you clear early or late.
Yes. Book a single leg to or from Port of Miami and Faena Hotel Miami Beach, or reserve both directions together. A round journey is merely double the one-way price, covering your arrival from the ship and your return on embarkation day in one tidy reservation.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person — your whole group rides for the one price shown above, whether the SUV carries two passengers or five. Adding people up to the vehicle’s capacity does not change the fare, which makes the private car a strong value for families and groups travelling together.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
