From $175 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Holiday Inn Highland Beach-Oceanside 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.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the curbside greeting included in the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal available for $40 if you desire it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Holiday Inn Highland Beach-Oceanside is a beachfront hotel set on the Highland Beach shoreline of the Palm Beach County coast, just north of Boca Raton and roughly 44 miles up from the Port of Miami cruise terminals. The name says where you land: on the ocean side of the road, so after a week at sea the first move is a simple one — drop the bags, cross to the sand, and let the Atlantic reset the pace of the day.
The location puts Boca Raton within simple reach, a town that has spent decades polishing this stretch of the coast. Mizner Park gathers boutiques and open-air dining under its arcades, the landmark pink resort anchors the skyline for anyone who likes a little architecture with their afternoon, and Gumbo Limbo’s sea-turtle tanks offer families a gentle, shaded outing away from the water. It is a calmer, more residential corner of South Florida than the port you just left, and that quiet is a good part of why travelers pick it.
When you pull up, the ride ends at the hotel entrance with your luggage carried to the curb beside you, so check-in is the only thing left to think about. For the details that belong to the property — room types, parking, and check-in and check-out times — the hotel’s own official page is the place to confirm, since those can shift with the season. What we handle is everything between the ship’s gangway and that front door.
The ride is private and door-to-door from the moment you clear customs. Your chauffeur is already staged at the terminal your cruise line uses, tracking the ship’s actual arrival rather than a fixed clock, so a slow disembarkation or a long customs line does not cost you the car. Bags go straight into the vehicle — no cart to wrestle, no second journey — and the group travels together in one vehicle reserved for your party alone.
From the port the driver picks up Florida’s Turnpike and runs the roughly 44 miles north to Holiday Inn Highland Beach-Oceanside, a journey that takes about 60 to 76 minutes depending on traffic and the hour. You are dropped at the hotel entrance with the bags set down beside you. Booking the return for embarkation day works the same way, planned around your ship’s schedule.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
