From $110 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Newport Beachside Hotel & Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside greeting costs nothing extra; the Meet & Greet at the terminal with a name sign adds $40.
The Newport Beachside Hotel & Resort stands in Sunny Isles Beach, along the stretch of resort towers that line Collins Avenue at the northern edge of the county. It faces a broad public beach, so the ocean is only a short walk from the lobby, and the well-known Newport Fishing Pier reaches out over the water close by. It is the kind of oceanfront address where you can drop your bags, change, and be on the sand within minutes of checking in.
Getting your bearings after the ride is easy. Collins Avenue runs right past the hotel, and Samson Oceanfront Park sits within easy reach of the stay for a quieter patch of shoreline. A little farther along you will find Pelican Community Park, along with Haulover Inlet, both neighboring in Sunny Isles Beach. Everything here leans toward the coast, which makes the resort a natural base for a beach-focused few days once the cruise is behind you.
That coastal setting is the real appeal after a sailing. Rather than heading inland, you arrive at a broad public beach and a fishing pier, with the water a few steps from the entrance. If a beach afternoon sounds right after you dock, this is the natural next move: leave the luggage at the resort, walk to the sand, and let the journey wind down at the ocean. When your car arrives, your driver meets your party at the main entrance, so there is no wandering the property looking for the pickup point.
This is a terminal-to-door private transfer between the Port of Miami and the Newport Beachside Hotel & Resort. Once you disembark, the pickup is organized by message as you walk off the ship, timed to your actual arrival rather than to app availability, and a built-in 60-minute wait window absorbs a slow gangway. Your chauffeur meets you curbside at your terminal, not out in a parking lot, and every bag is carried for you from the cart to the vehicle.
From there your driver follows I-95 north for the roughly 17-mile run up to Sunny Isles Beach, with the group riding together and the luggage stowed in the same vehicle. Plan on about 42 to 54 minutes on the road, depending on the hour and traffic, and anticipate longer on hectic Saturday and Sunday mornings when thousands of passengers leave the ships at once. At the resort, you are dropped at the entrance with your bags brought to the curb beside you.

Minha esposa e eu tivemos uma viagem incrível e rematamos com um carro privativo pronto no meio-fio para nos levar até Newport Beachside Hotel & Resort — sem uma só preocupação no terminal. Uma passagem fácil e simples para nós dois — do navio até Newport Beachside Hotel & Resort sem nada para resolver. Para sair do navio e chegar a Newport Beachside Hotel & Resort de forma confiável, valeu muito a pena. Reservaria para o próximo cruzeiro.
The kids were running on empty when we walked off, and a private van already at the curb got everyone to Newport Beachside Hotel & Resort in one piece. The kids crashed in the car, and getting straight to Newport Beachside Hotel & Resort without a scramble at the port was perfect. The driver loaded all our cruise luggage so we didn’t have to juggle it all. Would book again for the next cruise.
My partner and I wanted a clean handoff outside the terminal, so we booked a private ride to Newport Beachside Hotel & Resort before we even sailed. The car was roomy enough for all the cruise luggage, and the AC was perfect after the ship. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out.
First time cruising on my own out of PortMiami, and having a private car there the second I walked out for the trip to Newport Beachside Hotel & Resort could not have been smoother. The fare was fixed when I booked, nothing added at the curb.
There were eight of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to Newport Beachside Hotel & Resort was the smart move. Getting to Newport Beachside Hotel & Resort straight from the terminal meant we could check in and finally shower after the week at sea.
