From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Lombardy Inn Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full journey one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Lombardy Inn Hotel keeps you on the north end of the island, the stretch that trades crowded nightlife for open space and quiet residential blocks. The shoreline sits steps from the property, close enough that plenty of guests skip the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they come off the water. It makes a straightforward base for a beach-first stay, with the ocean and its walking path right there when you reach.
The region around you leans toward North Beach, Surfside, and Bal Harbour — broad beaches, an oceanfront promenade, and calm streets rather than a wall of high-rise noise. Guests here often work Bal Harbour Shops and the North Beach Bandshell into their first days ashore, and Haulover Park and Collins Avenue are close by when you desire to wander a little farther up the coast.
When your ride pulls up, the driver carries the bags to the curb beside you and the hotel entrance is right there — no long walk from a distant drop-off point. Anything about the stay itself lives with the hotel directly; getting you here from the ship is our part, and the run lands you at the door with your group and luggage together. Once you are checked in, the beach, the shops, and the quieter north-island blocks are all within simple reach for the rest of the day.
The ride from the Port of Miami runs about 11 miles, and you should budget 25 to 27 minutes depending on the hour. Your chauffeur takes the Julia Tuttle Causeway and I-195, and the pickup is staged around your ship’s actual arrival rather than a fixed slot, so the vehicle is there once you clear customs and the luggage hall.
This is a door-to-door journey for your group alone. The bags go in your own vehicle, the driver handles the loading at the terminal and again at the hotel, and there are no added stops along the way. You step off the ship, locate your ride waiting on Dodge Island, and settle in for the short run up to Lombardy Inn Hotel — one group, one vehicle, straight to the entrance.
