From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Residences at Vizcaya in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, the Meet & Greet at the terminal adds $40, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
Residences at Vizcaya is a private residential address in Downtown Miami, roughly 0.9 miles from PortMiami and the cruise terminals on Dodge Island. It sits in the compact grid between Biscayne Boulevard and the water, where the city’s residential towers stand within simple reach of the port. For a traveler stepping off the ship, that closeness means the building is only a short drive from the terminal curb, with your group and luggage delivered right to the entrance.
The region around the residence is dense with Downtown landmarks. Museum Park and the Kaseya Center are close by, and Bayfront Park sits neighboring along the waterfront. Bayside Marketplace fills the blocks toward Biscayne Bay, so the shops, restaurants, and open-air walks of the bay are within the same neighborhood. Because so much of Downtown Miami practically overlooks the cruise port, arriving guests locate the residence surrounded by places to eat, stroll, and take in the water without traveling far from the building.
On arrival, the chauffeur brings you to the entrance and carries your bags to the curb beside you, so the move from ship to residence stays simple. Anything about the stay itself — the residence’s own arrangements and details — lives with Residences at Vizcaya directly; the ride to and from the building is our part. If you have time before or after the sailing, the surrounding Downtown blocks and the Biscayne Bay waterfront are all a short distance away.
After you clear the terminal exit on Dodge Island, your car is already staged for the curb — no line to join, no scramble with bags on the sidewalk. The chauffeur follows Port Boulevard for the short 0.9-mile hop into Downtown, a drive that normally runs 8 to 10 minutes depending on the hour and the port’s traffic. Your luggage rides with you the whole way, loaded at the terminal and carried to the residence entrance at the other end.
The pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than to app availability, so the vehicle is waiting when your group is ready. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest stretch, with thousands of passengers walking off at once, and that Port Boulevard traffic is already built into the plan. Leaving for the ship, the chauffeur meets you at the entrance and loads the bags, then heads for the terminal — one group per vehicle, start to finish.

Every policy in full: FAQ
Our family of six came off the ship at PortMiami and the driver had room for all the suitcases for the ride to Residences at Vizcaya. There was a courtesy waiting window from the agreed time, so we never had to rush to gather the bags. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out.
We got off the ship with the little ones ready for a nap, and a private van waiting at the port made the run to Residences at Vizcaya a breeze. The child seat was ready when we got in, which was one less thing to worry about.
