From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Summerland Resort 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.
Summerland Resort is the destination on this route, and it is the kind of address travelers head straight to once they step off the ship. Rather than a downtown high-rise or an airport hotel, the property sits close to the water, which shapes how the day tends to unfold after a cruise. Instead of chasing your next connection, you land somewhere you can settle into and slow down.
The arrival itself is unhurried. Your chauffeur pulls up at the lobby door, helps with every bag from the vehicle to the entrance, and leaves you at the property with the hard part already handled. There is no second stop to create and no shared vehicle to wait on. From the moment the doors open at the terminal to the moment your luggage is at the door, the ride belongs to your group alone.
What most guests do next is the appeal of staying here. With the shore so close, a beach afternoon becomes the obvious move: drop the bags at Summerland Resort, then walk toward the water with nothing in your hands. Whether you are checking in for a longer stay or using the property as a base before the rest of your journey, the resort works as a peaceful landing point after days at sea. Reach early in the day and there is time to unwind before anything is scheduled; reach later and the reserved ride still meets your ship on its own timing, so the plan holds either way.
From the cruise terminal it is one direct run to Summerland Resort, door to door. Your chauffeur is staged at the port and timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock, so the ride is ready when you walk off the ship. Port of Miami pickups feature a courtesy window of sixty minutes past the scheduled time, which means the customs and immigration lines never put the reserved ride at risk.
Throughout the journey, your luggage stays in the vehicle with you, so there is no handling it in and out along the way. The car is held for your party alone, and on the return leg the pickup is planned around your schedule at the agreed hour. It is a single, private run from the pier to the door of the resort, with the driver, the vehicle, and the timing all set around your group.

Última etapa de un día largo sin complicaciones.
Primera vez de crucero solo desde PortMiami, y tener un auto privado listo en la acera para el viaje a Summerland Resort lo hizo todo simple. Había una ventana de cortesía desde la hora acordada, así que nunca tuve que apurarme para juntar las maletas. Era un auto privado solo para mí — sin nadie a quien esperar — un alivio tras una semana a bordo.
After a week at sea I just wanted nothing left to think about, so a private car from the port to Summerland Resort was exactly right. The night before, I got a message with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out.
Spotless car. Done well. Good price.
Al salir del barco por mi cuenta, lo último que quería era resolver el traslado en el puerto, así que tenía un auto privado reservado para ir a Summerland Resort. El van estaba fresco y cómodo, con lugar para todo.
