From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Ocean Five Hotel Miami Beach 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.
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.
Ocean Five Hotel Miami Beach sits in the heart of South Beach, the corner of Miami Beach where pastel Art Deco facades line block after block and the shoreline is only steps from the door. It is the kind of stay cruisers pick when they desire a night by the water on either side of a sailing, close enough to the sand that numerous guests trade the ship’s pool for real beach the same afternoon they walk off. The setting is walkable, low-key, and built around the ocean.
Everything South Beach is known for gathers within simple reach of the hotel. Ocean Drive and its Art Deco Historic District are close by, good for a slow evening of people-watching among the neon and the vintage hotel fronts. Lincoln Road and its open-air mall handle the shopping list, from browsing to a long lunch. Lummus Park Beach fronts the water a short stroll away, and the New World Center rounds out the neighborhood for anyone chasing music or architecture between beach hours.
That mix is what makes Ocean Five a natural first or last stop around a cruise. You are a short causeway hop from the terminal, yet firmly inside the part of Miami Beach where the day can be as simple as sand, a walk down Ocean Drive, and dinner neighboring. For families and couples alike, arrival day tends to unwind speedy here: bags dropped, shoes off, the water already in view.
Your ride begins right at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island. Once your group clears the hall and reaches the curb, the driver is already organized by message and waiting, so there is no line to join and no luggage to drag across the port. Bags go straight into the vehicle, everyone climbs in, and the car is reserved for your group alone, one direct journey to the hotel, nothing shared.
From the port the route runs across the MacArthur Causeway and onto SR A1A into South Beach, a short hop that commonly takes about 14 to 16 minutes depending on the hour. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest stretch, so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a guess. At the other end, the driver pulls up to the entrance and carries your bags to the curb beside you.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.

Tras una semana a bordo, mi esposo y yo no queríamos arriesgar un transporte en la terminal, así que reservamos un auto privado a Ocean Five Hotel Miami Beach. El van estaba con espacio de sobra para todo el equipaje del crucero, un alivio con el calor de Miami. Lo último que quieres tras una semana en el mar es un viaje que falle, y este fue justo cuando lo necesitamos.
