From $240 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Holiday Inn West Palm Beach-Turnpike in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
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.
Holiday Inn West Palm Beach-Turnpike is a full-service hotel in West Palm Beach, the coastal city that anchors the northern end of the Palm Beaches. It makes an easy landing spot after a cruise: you clear the terminal, settle into the car, and let the chauffeur handle the run north while the coastline opens up outside the window. The property keeps you close to the water and within reach of the city’s walkable core, so the shift from ship to shore feels short rather than drawn out.
The surrounding neighborhood gives you ample to fill an afternoon. Downtown West Palm Beach hums around Rosemary Square and Clematis Street, where shops, restaurants, and a palm-lined waterfront promenade sit within a compact stretch. Art lovers have the Norton Museum of Art and its galleries nearby, and the Kravis Center rounds out the cultural side of the city. None of it asks for a long drive once you have checked in — the appeal here is having downtown, the culture, and the shore gathered close together.
The shoreline is the real draw. Guests often trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they disembark, walking out to the water instead of settling for a food court between legs of the journey. If your schedule leaves a gap, the vehicle can be booked by the hour so you see the city with your bags safely aboard rather than waiting it out. When it is time to head back, the same door-to-terminal service brings you south again.
The journey runs door to door as a single leg. Once your group clears the terminal at the Port of Miami, the chauffeur meets you at the curb, loads the luggage, and heads north on I-95 straight to the hotel entrance. There is no lot to hunt for and no second stop — the bags stay in the vehicle from the terminal curb to the hotel door, and the car is yours alone for the ride.
Plan on roughly 91 to 105 minutes between the port and Holiday Inn West Palm Beach-Turnpike, with I-95 traffic the main variable. Because the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival, there is room built in for the walk off and the wait at the curb rather than a slot timed to the minute. Coming back the other way, the chauffeur meets you at the hotel entrance and handles the luggage before the return south.
