From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hotel Croydon Miami Beach 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.
Hotel Croydon Miami Beach sits in Mid-Beach, the calmer middle stretch of the island where Collins Avenue runs north through a line of resort towers. Locals call this corridor resort row, and the hotel takes its place along it, a short walk from the sand. After a week at sea, it makes a simple landing spot — close to the water, set back from the busier southern end of the beach, and framed by the tall properties that offer this part of the island its skyline.
Step outside and the oceanfront boardwalk is right there, tracing the shoreline for its full length and giving you a flat, breezy path to walk once your bags are dropped. Head a little farther and you reach the Faena District, the pocket of galleries, sculpture, and design that has grown up between the towers and given Mid-Beach an arts side. Indian Creek runs along the inland edge neighboring, a quiet waterway that softens the strip of hotels and marks the boundary of this neighborhood.
On arrival, the practical side of the stay — luggage holds for early or late check-in, room readiness, and the property’s own amenities — is top confirmed directly with the hotel, since those details sit with them rather than with the ride. What the transfer handles is getting you and your bags to the front entrance in one clean run. From there, the beach, the boardwalk, and the rest of Mid-Beach are all within reach on foot, and the day is yours.
The ride leaves right from your ship’s terminal on Dodge Island once your group has cleared the hall. Your driver is organized by message as you come off, so there is no hunting for a pickup — the vehicle is staged and waiting, and your luggage goes straight into it rather than sitting on the curb. From the port, the route crosses the Julia Tuttle Causeway and picks up I-195 toward the beach, a run of about 9.1 miles.
Plan on roughly 25 to 27 minutes from the terminal to the door, a little more if the morning ships all empty at once. The vehicle is yours alone for the journey, the fare is fixed before the day, and the driver carries your bags to the hotel entrance when you reach.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
