From $240 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hawthorn Suites West Palm Beach in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full journey one way. Select by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
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.
Hawthorn Suites West Palm Beach sits in the downtown core of The Palm Beaches, a compact and walkable stretch of West Palm Beach where the streets are easy to cover on foot. The neighborhood hums around Rosemary Square, an open-air gathering place of shops, dining, and public space that lands within easy reach of the property. For a traveler stepping off a cruise, it makes a calm, central base — close to the city yet away from the noise of the terminal.
Clematis Street runs neighboring, the older commercial spine of downtown, lined with storefronts and places to eat. A short move from the stay brings you to the Norton Museum of Art, whose galleries reward an afternoon, and to the West Palm Beach waterfront, where a palm-lined promenade traces the edge of the water. Between the square, the street, the museum, and the waterfront, the district gives you plenty to fill the hours without ever needing to journey far.
On arrival the appeal is the location itself: everything the downtown offers is clustered close, so you can settle in and discover on your own clock. If your ship leaves a gap before departure, the surrounding blocks offer you a real place to spend it rather than a waiting room. Drop the bags, step out into Rosemary Square or along the waterfront, and let West Palm Beach fill the time between the port and the rest of your plans.
The ride begins right at the terminal. After you clear the ship and collect your luggage, the chauffeur is already staged at the curb of the exact terminal your cruise line uses, ready to load the bags and go. From there it is a single, direct leg north on I-95 — roughly 70.8 miles from the port door to Hawthorn Suites West Palm Beach, with the whole group riding together in one vehicle.
Plan on about 88 to 103 minutes terminal to door, depending on the hour and how I-95 is moving. Because ships rarely release every passenger at the same minute, the pickup is timed to your vessel’s actual arrival, with wait time built in to absorb customs and the luggage hall. You step out, the vehicle is there, and Hawthorn Suites West Palm Beach is the next stop.
