From $89 per vehicle — a private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Hyatt Centric Brickell Miami Hotel covers 7 miles in 12 to 22 minutes by black SUV or climate-controlled van, at a flat rate. Your driver handles the journey door to door, straight from the cruise terminal curb, with room for every bag your group rolls off the ship.
The fare below is per vehicle and covers your whole group, not a per-person charge.
Book one black SUV for up to five passengers or a van for larger parties, then ride the 7 miles straight to the hotel entrance. Once your ship clears customs, you skip the taxi line and walk to a vehicle reserved only for your group. There is ample room for cruise luggage, so suitcases, carry-ons, and beach gear all load without a second journey. The driver follows the most direct route off the port and drops you at the Hyatt Centric Brickell front door, not at a corner blocks away. Reserve over WhatsApp or the website by sending your ship name, arrival date, party size, and the terminal you dock at; that confirms your vehicle class and pickup window before you sail. No shared seats, no waiting for other passengers to fill the van — your booking moves on your timeline.
The ride covers 3 miles in 12 to 22 minutes, off-peak to peak. Off-peak mornings, before the bulk of the port empties out, the journey is closer to the 12-minute mark on a clear run into Brickell. When three or more ships disembark together, port roads back up and the door-to-door time stretches toward 17 minutes. The distance never changes — only the traffic does — so the spread you see reflects real conditions, not padding. Your driver watches the flow leaving the terminals and picks the cleaner exit when one lane jams. Building in a small cushion on disembark mornings keeps you relaxing for an early hotel check-in or a connecting plan in Brickell, and the flat fare holds either way, whether the clock reads twelve minutes or twenty-two.
The hotel stands in Brickell, the high-rise financial and dining district just south of downtown Miami. Step out and you are within a short walk of Brickell City Centre’s shopping and restaurants, the Miami Riverwalk, and waterfront bars along Biscayne Bay. Mary Brickell Village packs casual eateries and nightlife a few blocks west, and the Metromover loops the region free of charge for hops downtown. The property itself puts a rooftop pool and on-site dining at your doorstep after a long sailing day. See the Hyatt Centric Brickell Miami hotel page for amenities, or the Brickell room options to match a room to your group before arrival.
The Hyatt Centric Brickell is the destination this transfer serves, so it is the natural base for a pre- or post-cruise night. Beyond it, the wider Brickell area runs dense with high-rise stays near the bay and the financial core, all a short drive from the port, which keeps your final leg quick whichever block you settle on.
Brickell City Centre, Mary Brickell Village, and the Miami Riverwalk all sit within walking distance for shopping, dining, and bayfront strolling. The free Metromover links the neighborhood to downtown and the Arena district. If you arrive with time to spare before boarding or a flight, the area fills an afternoon without needing another ride.
Swift answers to what cruise guests ask most about this route.
Your driver tracks the terminal’s disembark updates and re-times the pickup at no extra cost if the ship docks behind schedule. You do not re-book or lose the fare. Just sail in — the vehicle is held for your party, and the flat price holds whether you clear customs on time or an hour late.
The driver meets your group curbside, right as you exit the terminal building after customs. Request a name sign over WhatsApp in advance and they will hold it up at the pickup zone, so you spot them fast in the disembark crowd and walk straight to a vehicle held just for you.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person — your whole group rides for the one flat price listed in the rates section above. Five people in the SUV pay the same as one. That makes the SUV and vans straightforward to split across a family or party traveling off the same ship.
Yes — the route runs both directions, so the driver collects you at the Hyatt Centric Brickell and delivers you to your departure terminal for embarkation day. Send your sailing time and terminal when you book the return, and the pickup is timed to land you at the port with margin to spare.
Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice.
A public bus from the port means transfers, schedules, and hauling cruise luggage between stops to reach Brickell. The private transfer runs the 7 miles direct, door to door in 12 to 22 minutes, with the driver loading your bags and dropping you at the hotel entrance — no route map, no waiting at a stop with suitcases.
