From $110 per vehicle — a private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Ramada Plaza Marco Polo Beach Resort covers 19.2 miles (30.9 km) in about 44 to 54 minutes door to door, in a black SUV or climate-controlled van with a bilingual driver, at a flat rate. We track your ship and meet your group curbside as you step off the terminal.
The fare is set per vehicle for the whole party, locked the moment you book — pick the tier that fits your group size below.
A reserved private vehicle is the most direct way off the ship and up the coast to Sunny Isles Beach. You skip taxi lines, ride with only your own party, and head straight to the resort with no detours or extra stops. Select the Black SUV for couples and small families up to five, a six-to-nine van for mid-size groups, or a ten-to-fourteen van for large families and friend groups traveling together. The driver pulls up curbside at your terminal, helps load cruise luggage into the back, and rolls north toward the resort entrance for a true door-to-door drop-off. One booking covers the whole journey — no apps to open while you juggle bags on the curb.
Send your ship name, terminal, sailing date, group size, and resort address by WhatsApp or through the website. We confirm the vehicle tier and pickup plan, take full payment to lock the fare, and share the driver’s details before your sailing. Request a name sign at this stage so it is ready as you exit.
The journey runs 19.2 miles and takes about 44 to 54 minutes door to door, off-peak to peak. The route leans on the I-95 EXPR express lanes heading north before cutting east toward the coast and Collins Avenue. Off-peak mornings move rapidly; the reduced end of that window is realistic when you clear customs early. Peak periods — late-morning disembark waves, weekday afternoon commuter traffic, and the surge when multiple ships release passengers together — push you toward the upper end. Tolls on the express lanes are already covered in your fare, so the driver can use the faster lanes without you settling anything roadside. Build the longer estimate into any onward plan on a heavy port day, and the driver adjusts the departure so you reach the resort without a scramble.
The thickest congestion hits mid-to-late morning, when most cruise lines complete disembarkation and thousands head out at once. Weekday afternoon rush along I-95 also slows the run north. Early exits before the main debark wave usually land near the 44-minute mark.
The resort sits directly on the sand in Sunny Isles Beach, a quieter stretch of oceanfront north of the South Beach crowds. Guests obtain a private beach, ocean-view rooms, and simple access to the broad Collins Avenue corridor of dining, shopping, and the Aventura Mall a short drive inland. It is a peaceful landing spot to start or close a cruise, with the Atlantic at your door and Miami’s attractions within reach. Check details and current offerings on the Marco Polo Beach Resort official site or the Greater Miami visitor resort listing.
Sunny Isles Beach gives you swimming and sunset walks right outside, while a short hop south reaches Bal Harbour Shops and Haulover Park. Aventura Mall, one of the largest in the country, sits a few minutes inland. The South Beach scene and downtown Miami stay within an easy ride for a day trip.
The rate covers the full door-to-door ride for your group with a bilingual driver, curb-side cruise-terminal pickup, and a name sign on request via WhatsApp. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are all built in — nothing to settle on the road. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot so you can message family or check the resort while you ride. Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice. Everything listed here is part of the price you confirm.
A late-night surcharge applies outside daytime hours (detailed below). Beyond those, the quoted fare is complete for the route — no surprise add-ons appear at drop-off.
The driver waits curbside at your cruise terminal and meets your group as you walk out with your bags. Request a name sign in advance on WhatsApp and it will be ready. Message the driver once you clear customs, and they pull up to load luggage and head for Sunny Isles Beach.
Yes — disembarkation day is exactly what this transfer is built for. Reserve the date and ship in advance, and the driver is on standby at your terminal as you exit. Because we follow debark timing, even the hectic multi-ship mornings stay covered without you re-booking anything from the curb.
Lock your private ride to or from the port now. Send your ship name, sailing date, terminal, group size, and the resort address, and we will confirm the vehicle, the fare, and your driver before you sail. Request a name sign at the same time so everything is set the moment you step off.
