From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to River Park Hotel 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.
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.
River Park Hotel sits in Downtown Miami, on the compact grid of streets that runs between Biscayne Boulevard and the water — the same downtown blocks that practically overlook PortMiami across the channel. From the terminals on Dodge Island the hotel is only about 1.8 miles away, which keeps you close to the ship and close to everything the neighborhood holds.
Step outside and the downtown waterfront is right there. Museum Park anchors the green space along the bay, the Kaseya Center draws crowds on game and concert nights, and Bayside Marketplace lines the marina with shops and open-air dining a short walk from the door. It is a walkable base for a first or last night in the city.
Because the hotel is this close to PortMiami, it works well for cruise travelers on either end of a sailing — a night before you board, or a place to land after you disembark with a later flight. The location keeps the port, the bay, and the core of Downtown Miami all within easy reach.
Your chauffeur is staged for your ship’s arrival and meets your group at the terminal curb on Dodge Island, so there is no line to join once you clear the hall. The bags go in at the curb, and the route runs straight up Port Boulevard toward Downtown Miami — a single, direct leg with no stops in between. At about 2.5 miles the drive commonly takes 9 to 11 minutes, with traffic on Port Boulevard the only real variable. Because pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival rather than a fixed minute, the timing has room to breathe.

My husband and I stepped off the ship at PortMiami and a private car was waiting at the terminal curb to take us to River Park Hotel. Getting to River Park Hotel with no detours meant we could drop the bags and start the day.

Descemos do navio com os pequenos exaustos do cruzeiro, e uma van privativa ali no terminal deixou a viagem até River Park Hotel bem simples. Na noite anterior recebemos uma texto com o nome do motorista e a placa, então não sobrou nada para resolver na saída.
