From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Miami Suites South Beach in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Miami Suites South Beach puts you inside the classic South Beach postcard — the pastel Art Deco facades of Ocean Drive, the sand at Lummus Park, and the pedestrian energy of Española Way and Lincoln Road all folded into one walkable grid. The neighborhood sits right on the coast, so the ocean is never more than a short stroll from the door, and the streets around the property carry the look most travelers picture before they reach.
Because South Beach concentrates so much into a compact region, arrival day is simple to shape around whatever you feel like doing. Drop your bags at Miami Suites South Beach and the water is close enough to walk to, which makes a beach afternoon the natural next move after a cruise. Guests staying here frequently work in Ocean Drive and the Lincoln Road Mall soon after coming ashore, with the Art Deco Historic District and the New World Center also close by within South Beach.
The property itself handles the hotel-side details — amenities, luggage holds, and early check-in among them — so you can settle in at your own pace once the ride ends. What matters for your transfer is that the address is a known one: your driver brings the group straight to the entrance and carries the bags to the curb beside you, with no walk across the port and no luggage-drag through the neighborhood. From the terminal to this door is one direct ride, and the rest of South Beach opens up from there on foot.
The run from PortMiami to Miami Suites South Beach is a short one. Once your group clears the cruise terminal, the driver is already organized and waiting at the curb by your ship, so there is no line to join and no scramble with bags on the sidewalk. Your luggage goes into the vehicle, everyone rides together, and the car pulls away when your party is ready rather than on a fixed slot.
From the port the route follows MacArthur Causeway and SR A1A into South Beach, a journey that normally takes 14 to 16 minutes depending on traffic along the causeway. Because the pickup is timed to your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare, a hectic road is the only real variable. The driver takes you straight to the entrance of Miami Suites South Beach and carries every bag from the vehicle to the curb, door to door.

Como crucerista solo, coordiné un traslado privado de PortMiami a Miami Suites South Beach para el día en que desembarqué, y fue la mejor decisión del viaje. Había treinta minutos de margen desde la hora acordada, así que nunca tuve que apurarme para pasar la aduana.
We cruised with a big crew and wanted everyone and the luggage in one private ride to Miami Suites South Beach after disembarking. No line to stand in — we just stepped out and the car was ready. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out.
For an easy morning off the ship, my wife and I had a private driver waiting for us at the cruise terminal to run us over to Miami Suites South Beach.
