From $110 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Global Hotel Connection in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way trip, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The curbside greeting there is included in the fare; the Meet & Greet at the terminal is a $40 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
Global Hotel Connection is a place to bed down in North Miami, on the band of the city that runs between Biscayne Bay and Biscayne Boulevard. From the cruise terminals at Port of Miami, it sits roughly 15 miles north, reached by a straight shot up I-95 once your ship ties up at Dodge Island. That keeps the transfer simple: one road, one direction, terminal to door.
North Miami wears its waterfront setting openly. The address puts you within swift reach of the bay on one side and the everyday shops and streets of Biscayne Boulevard on the other, and the freeway ramp is close enough to create the wider region simple to fold into your plans. When your driver pulls in, the drop-off lands right at the entrance, with your bags carried the last few steps to the curb beside you rather than left at a distant lot.
If you build a day or two around the stay, the neighborhood gives you ample to do without going far. Oleta River State Park lays out kayak trails through its mangroves and shoreline, the FIU Biscayne Bay Campus opens onto the water for a quiet walk, and the Museum of Contemporary Art anchors the district with its rotating shows. Each of these sits a short drive from the door, so the stretch of ground between the waterline and the Boulevard tends to fill itself, and the ride in from the port drops you close to all of it.
The pickup happens at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island. As your group clears the hall, the driver is already staged at the curb, organized by message so there is no wandering to locate each other. Luggage goes straight into the vehicle, everyone climbs in, and the car pulls out for North Miami — your group only, no other stops to create along the way.
From there it is a single 15-mile run up I-95, which normally takes 39 to 50 minutes depending on how the freeway is moving. The route holds to one road the whole way, and the pickup is timed to your ship’s actual arrival rather than a fixed slot, so the pace of getting off the ship never costs you the ride. At the end, the driver pulls up to the entrance and sets your bags down beside you.
