From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Silver Seas Beach Resort 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.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the curbside greeting included in the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal available for $40 if you desire it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Silver Seas Beach Resort sits at 101 N Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd, right on the coast in Fort Lauderdale. This is the beach side of the city, where the water is a short walk from the door and the sand runs along the promenade. Fort Lauderdale layers a few distinct moods into one place: a coastal beachfront, the yacht-lined New River threading through downtown, and Las Olas Boulevard’s galleries a little inland. The cruise piers sit at the city’s southern edge, which is why so many travelers pair a sailing with a stay here.
Reach and the natural next move is the beach itself. Drop the bags at the resort and walk to the water for an afternoon by the coast. Las Olas Boulevard and Fort Lauderdale Beach both sit within simple reach of the stay, so an evening stroll or a browse through the shops and galleries takes only minutes. The Riverwalk and Hugh Taylor Birch State Park are also close by in Fort Lauderdale, giving you green space and a waterfront path when you desire a break from the sand.
The resort keeps you close to everything the coast has to offer while staying a step removed from the busier downtown core. Anything about the stay itself, the rooms, and on-site details lives on Silver Seas Beach Resort’s own official page. Our part is the ride to and from your ship, timed so the trip between the terminal and the beach is one clean run rather than a scramble for a car after a long day of journey.
Coming off the ship, your driver is staged for the terminal curb once your group clears the exit, with 60 minutes of courtesy wait built in. From the pier on Dodge Island it is one straight run to Fort Lauderdale, about 30.9 miles along I-95, ending at the door of Silver Seas Beach Resort. The luggage goes in the vehicle, the party rides together, and the car is reserved for your group alone, door to door.
Plan on roughly 53 to 69 minutes terminal to door depending on the traffic that day. Leaving for the ship works the same way in reverse: the driver meets you at the hotel entrance, loads the bags, and heads for the correct cruise terminal timed to your boarding. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest stretch, so the pickup is set to your actual disembarkation, with the I-95 drive already accounted for in the plan.
