From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Sherry Frontenac Oceanfront Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Sherry Frontenac Oceanfront Hotel stands right on the shore in North Beach, the peaceful northern stretch of the barrier island. True to its name, the property faces the water directly, so the sand is a short walk from the front doors rather than a drive away. This is the low-key end of the coast, where the beach runs broad and the streets stay unhurried — a simple landing spot after several days at sea.
The surrounding region sets a relaxed tone. Just up the road, Surfside and Bal Harbour anchor the same quiet coastal run, with the Bal Harbour Shops and long, uncrowded sand close by. North Beach itself stays residential and unpolished in the top way, the kind of neighborhood where you can walk to the water in the morning and back for coffee without much fuss. For details on the stay itself — rooms, amenities, check-in — the hotel’s own page is the place to look; getting you there is our part.
Arrival is simple. Because the property sits oceanfront, the natural first move after a cruise is to drop your bags and head straight for the water, and a beach afternoon slots in without any extra planning. When your ride reaches the hotel, your chauffeur brings you to the main entrance and helps with every bag from the vehicle to the door. From there, the beach, the neighborhood, and the rest of your Miami time are all within reach of where you are standing.
The journey starts the moment you clear the terminal. Rather than working a taxi line with your luggage on the curb, you meet your chauffeur at the exact terminal your cruise line uses, organized by message as you walk off the ship. The bags go into the vehicle at the curb, and from PortMiami the route runs about 11.3 miles by way of the Julia Tuttle Causeway and I-195 — one direct leg out to North Beach.
Plan on roughly 26 to 29 minutes from terminal to door, offer or take with traffic and the hour. Disembarkation mornings back up speedy at the exits, so your driver is staged and waiting before you reach the hall, and a 60-minute courtesy window covers a slow gangway. The whole run is yours alone, door to door, with no other stops along the way.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
