From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Stardust South Beach 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.
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.
Stardust South Beach Hotel sits in the heart of South Beach, the stretch of the shoreline where a lot of cruisers choose to spend the night before they sail or the night after they step off the ship. It is the kind of address that puts you inside the neighborhood rather than on its edge, with the Art Deco streets, the sand, and the walkable shopping all within simple reach of the front door.
Step outside and the setting does the talking. Ocean Drive and its people-watching are close by, Lincoln Road Mall gives you an open-air run of shops and cafes, and the Art Deco Historic District wraps the whole area in its pastel facades. Lummus Park Beach and the New World Center are nearby as well, so an afternoon here can drift from the water to the shops to a bit of architecture without ever calling for a long trip.
What most guests notice first is how rapidly the beach becomes part of the plan. With the shoreline just steps away, plenty of arrivals trade the pool they left on the ship for real sand the same day they come ashore. Anything about the stay itself — the room, the front desk, the details of your booking — lives with the hotel directly; our part is getting you and your bags there cleanly so the vacation can start the moment you set them down.
Book the ride before you dock and disembarkation turns into the simple part of the morning. Your private vehicle is staged for your ship’s actual arrival, and the chauffeur is organized by message as you clear the terminal, then meets your group right at the curb on Dodge Island. The bags go into the vehicle at the terminal, and the car is reserved for your group alone — no stops, no sharing, no waiting on anyone else’s schedule.
From there it is one direct leg. The chauffeur takes SR A1A and MacArthur Causeway, so the roughly 5.4 miles to Stardust South Beach Hotel runs as a single, uninterrupted stretch. Plan on about 15 to 17 minutes depending on the hour, with the causeway traffic already built into the timing. The driver is bilingual in Spanish and English and handles the luggage at both ends, so you arrive at the hotel with the bags carried and the trip already done.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
