From $260 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Pga National 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.
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.
PGA National Resort sits in The Palm Beaches, the stretch of South Florida coast that opens up north of Miami. It is a self-contained resort address rather than a downtown block, which makes it a simple place to land after a week at sea: you step out of the vehicle at one peaceful, green corner of Palm Beach County and the crowds of the terminal are already behind you. Our service reaches every address in the West Palm Beach region, so the ride ends at the resort door and not at a drop-off point down the road.
When you feel like leaving the grounds, the heart of the West Palm Beach downtown is close by, humming around Rosemary Square, the galleries of the Norton, and a palm-lined waterfront promenade. Clematis Street and Rosemary Square draw most first-time visitors once they have settled in, with cafés, shops, and open-air seating within a short reach. The Kravis Center anchors the performing-arts side of the city, and the Norton Museum of Art keeps a quiet afternoon indoors on the table for anyone who wants one.
If you are giving yourself extra days around the resort, the official Palm Beaches visitor guide is a good place to map the neighborhoods before you arrive. Families settle in easily here: the pace is unhurried, the distances between the resort and the downtown attractions are short, and there is ample to fill a few days without a long drive. For one night before a flight home or a longer stay, PGA National Resort gives a cruise group a quiet base, with the city’s museums, waterfront, and dining a short journey away.
Book before you dock and disembarkation turns into the simple part of the day. Your chauffeur is staged at the terminal on Dodge Island before you clear the hall, coordinated by message as you walk off the ship, so the wait belongs to the driver and not to you. The bags go straight into the vehicle at the curb, and from there it is one direct leg north on I-95 — no stops, no transfers, just your group in a private vehicle.
Plan on roughly 79.6 miles between Port of Miami and PGA National Resort, and budget 88 to 104 minutes depending on the hour. Cruise mornings stack up speedy at the exits, so tell us your ship and arrival date and we time the pickup to the way disembarkation actually runs: self-assist walkers come off early, checked-luggage groups a little later. Either way the driver is ready, the luggage stays with you, and the ride ends at the resort door.

Sin drama, sin apuros, sin cambios de última hora.
My husband and I came down the gangway at PortMiami and a private car was already at the curb to take us to Pga National Resort.
Coming down the gangway solo, the last thing I wanted was to sort out transport at the port, so I had a private car lined up for the run to Pga National Resort. I’ve already earmarked them for my next cruise out of PortMiami. I was dropped right at the front door of Pga National Resort, not down the block.
The two of us sailed out of PortMiami and having a private car waiting curbside for the ride over to Pga National Resort took all the stress out of it. We got a clear confirmation, so there was nothing to worry about at the terminal.
My husband and I weren’t up for the chaos outside the terminal, so we booked a private ride to Pga National Resort before we even sailed.
