From $245 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Pga Resort & Spa in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
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.
Pga Resort & Spa sits in The Palm Beaches, the stretch of coast anchored by West Palm Beach where the shoreline is close enough to feel like part of the property. Plenty of guests trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they disembark, walking out to open water instead of one more deck. After days at sea, that kind of immediate access is the point of the place, and it is what most of our cruise arrivals are chasing when they book the run north.
The stay puts you within reach of a downtown that hums around Rosemary Square, with the Norton Museum of Art and its galleries drawing visitors year-round. A palm-lined waterfront promenade traces the edge of the water, simple to fall into on a slow evening. Clematis Street sits within comfortable variety of the resort as well, and the Kravis Center rounds out the cultural side of West Palm Beach for anyone who wants more than the beach after checking in.
What all of that adds up to is a base that works for both ends of a journey. You can point yourself at the sand and stay there, or drift into downtown for the museums, the promenade, and the restaurants around Rosemary Square. Families come off the ships here every week, and the resort settles them just as effortlessly as it does couples looking for quiet water and a short walk to it. Arriving with your bags already handled means the vacation starts the moment the car pulls up, not an hour later.
This is one clean run north. Your chauffeur is staged at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, coordinated by message as your group clears the hall, so the car is waiting at the curb rather than the other way around. Bags go straight into the vehicle with a hand at both ends, and from the pier it is a single stretch along Florida’s Turnpike to the door of Pga Resort & Spa. Disembarkation mornings back up speedy at the terminal exits, but the wait is the driver’s, not yours.
The route covers about 80.7 miles and normally runs 98 to 112 minutes, depending on how the Turnpike is moving that morning. The vehicle is yours alone for the whole journey, climate-controlled and reserved for your group only, with the fare locked at booking so nothing shifts on a busy cruise morning. You step off the ship, ride direct, and obtain out at the resort with your luggage carried the last few feet to the entrance.

Precio justo. Recogida rápida. Sin drama. Bien hecho
My husband and I weren’t up for the chaos outside the terminal, so we reserved a private ride to Pga Resort & Spa before we even sailed. There was a sign with our name at the terminal doors, so we spotted the driver immediately.
With the little ones, pre-booking a private car from the port to Pga Resort & Spa meant no scramble on disembarkation morning. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out.
Uns amigos e eu descemos do navio juntos e reservamos uma van privativa do terminal de cruzeiros até Pga Resort & Spa. Havia um bom período de tolerância a partir do horário combinado, então nunca precisamos correr para descer do navio.
The little ones were done after a week at sea when we walked off, and a private van already at the curb got everyone to Pga Resort & Spa before anyone lost it. The car was fresh and comfortable, and the AC was perfect after the ship.
