From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to San Juan Hotel South Beach 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.
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.
San Juan Hotel South Beach sits in the heart of South Beach, the walkable coastal grid that holds the classic Miami postcard together. Step out the door and you are inside the Art Deco Historic District, with the pastel facades of Ocean Drive, the tiled charm of Española Way, and the open-air shopping of Lincoln Road all part of the same neighborhood. It is the kind of address where the map you require after a cruise is mostly your own two feet.
The sand is close, too. Lummus Park Beach runs along this stretch of coast, and the New World Center is neighboring for anyone wanting a little culture between beach hours. Because the property is right on the water, dropping your bags and walking straight to the ocean is the natural first move once you land ashore. The rhythm of arrival day stays simple: clear the terminal, ride straight here, and let South Beach open up from your doorstep.
For the details only the hotel can answer — room types, on-site parking, and check-in timing — the property’s own official page is the place to look, and we leave those specifics to them. What we handle is the part before you walk in: a private, reserved ride that ends at the entrance, with your bags carried to the curb beside you. From there, the Art Deco streets, Ocean Drive, and the beach itself are yours to discover at whatever pace the day calls for after a week at sea.
The journey from the Port of Miami to San Juan Hotel South Beach runs about 6.3 miles and takes roughly 21 to 23 minutes, following SR A1A and the MacArthur Causeway. It is a short, direct hop — no stops between the terminal and the hotel entrance. Your driver takes SR A1A and the MacArthur Causeway across, then pulls up at the door and sets your bags on the curb beside you.
The vehicle is reserved for your group alone, and every bag rides with you, lobby to curb. Your chauffeur is organized by message as you leave the arrivals hall and meets you at your ship’s own terminal, so there is no wandering the port looking for a pickup. Because weekend mornings send thousands of passengers off the ships at once, the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation, with the causeway traffic already built into the plan.

Every policy in full: FAQ
The two of us cruised from PortMiami and having a private car waiting curbside for the ride over to San Juan Hotel South Beach was the best part of the day. We’ve already earmarked them for our next cruise out of PortMiami.
The two of us booked a private transfer for after the cruise so we wouldn’t worry about the timing getting over to San Juan Hotel South Beach. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was no wondering which car was the right one on the way out.
We weren’t about to wrangle kids and luggage looking for a ride at the port, so we reserved a private van to San Juan Hotel South Beach. It was a private car for our party alone — no one else’s stops — so much nicer than piling in with strangers.
My partner and I wanted a clean handoff outside the terminal, so we booked a private ride to San Juan Hotel South Beach before we even sailed.
