From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hostel Design District Miami in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, 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.
Hostel Design District Miami sits in the Wynwood and Midtown pocket north of downtown, the same walkable stretch that draws travelers to the neighborhood’s murals and galleries. The stay puts you within easy reach of Wynwood Walls, where the mural-covered warehouses, craft breweries, and galleries cluster together a short ride north of downtown. The Miami Design District, with its shops set right beside Midtown, is close by as well, so a morning off the ship can turn into an afternoon on foot.
The address lands you near NW 2nd Avenue, one of the main spines running through Wynwood, which keeps cafes, galleries, and the neighborhood’s street art within reach. Midtown Miami‘s shops sit right alongside, giving you a second cluster of places to eat and browse without needing another ride. This is the creative side of the city rather than the beach, so you trade sand for warehouses turned into open-air art and design.
When you reach, look for your driver at the main entrance of the property. The location works well as a base for exploring the region on your own once you have dropped your bags, with the Design District and Wynwood’s core both within easy reach of the stay. Everything worth walking to sits close, so most of your first day can happen on foot.
Your chauffeur meets you at the terminal curb after you disembark, loads every bag, and drives straight to Hostel Design District Miami with no stops along the way. The route runs by I-95 and Port Boulevard, so the roughly 5.4 miles from the port cover a single, direct leg. Terminal curb to the hotel door commonly takes 18 to 20 minutes, depending on traffic and the hour.
Disembarkation mornings back up speedy at the terminal exits, so the driver is staged before you clear the hall. That way the wait is theirs, not yours, and the drive north handles the rest.

Every policy in full: FAQ
A few friends and I came off the ship together and booked one private van from the cruise terminal to Hostel Design District Miami. No app to fight with — we just walked from the terminal to a car that was already there. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was no wondering which car was the right one on the way out.
My partner and I stepped off the ship at PortMiami and a private car was waiting at the terminal curb to take us to Hostel Design District Miami. No line to stand in — we just walked from the terminal to a car that was already there.
Getting all of us off the ship and over to Hostel Design District Miami is usually a headache, but one pre-booked private van made it effortless. Honestly the smoothest part of the whole trip — everything just fell into place at the terminal. It was a private car for our party alone — no side pickups — so much nicer than piling in with strangers.
Our whole crew walked off together and it was a relief to have one private van waiting at the terminal for the ride to Hostel Design District Miami — everyone in one vehicle. There was a board with our name on it at the terminal doors, so we didn’t have to look around.
Our family of five came off the ship at PortMiami and the driver loaded every cruise bag for the ride to Hostel Design District Miami. The child seat was already installed, which was a real help that morning.
