From $190 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Spanish River 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.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Spanish River Resort sits in Delray Beach, on the stretch of Atlantic coast that has drawn Florida travelers for generations. The shoreline is steps away, so the sand is part of the stay rather than a drive across town. Plenty of cruise guests trade the ship’s pool for the real thing the same afternoon they come ashore, unpacking once and heading straight for the water.
Delray Beach carries a distinct character that sets it apart from the bigger coastal cities neighboring. It began as a winter art colony, and that creative streak still runs through the town. Old School Square anchors the cultural side, the Morikami and its Japanese gardens sit a short way inland, and the main street runs in a lively line from the shops and cafes down toward the sand. There is enough to fill the hours between beach mornings without ever leaving the region.
Your ride ends at the door of Spanish River Resort, not at a lot down the block. At the hotel, look for your driver at the main entrance; heading back to the ship, the pickup is arranged the same way. Drop-off covers Delray Beach and the streets immediately around your stay, so a group with luggage steps out where they need to be. The vehicle is yours alone for the run, one group only, with room for cruise bags and the odd oversized piece when you flag it ahead of time.
The trip is one run north from the Port of Miami along I-95, ending at the door of Spanish River Resort. Plan on roughly 77 to 92 minutes for the drive, depending on whether you catch quiet hours or the thick of rush hour. There are no added stops and no detours; once your luggage is loaded, the car heads straight for Delray Beach.
Disembarkation mornings stack up speedy at the terminal exits, so your driver is staged before you clear the hall. The pickup is coordinated by message as you walk off the ship, and a 60-minute wait window is built in to absorb slow gangways, customs, and the luggage claim. You are met curbside at your terminal, your bags go in the vehicle with full help at both ends, and the ride to Spanish River Resort begins the moment everyone is aboard.

After our sailing, my husband and I didn’t want to risk a ride at the terminal, so we arranged a private car to Spanish River Resort. The driver got the whole pile of luggage in so we didn’t have to lift a thing.
Waiting at the curb the moment we walked out, and an easy ride over to Spanish River Resort.
Mi pareja y yo bajamos del barco en PortMiami y había un auto privado listo en la terminal para llevarnos a Spanish River Resort. Lo último que quieres tras una semana en el mar es un viaje que falle, y este fue totalmente sólido. Ya guardamos el contacto para nuestro próximo crucero desde PortMiami. Hizo el desembarque facilísimo.
