From $145 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Sun Tower Hotel and Suites in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full trip one way. Select by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The curbside greeting there is included in the fare; the Meet & Greet at the terminal is a $40 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
Sun Tower Hotel and Suites sits right on the beach side of Fort Lauderdale, at 2030 N Ocean Blvd, on the stretch of North Ocean Boulevard that follows the shoreline. Your ride ends at suite address 2030 N Ocean Blvd #3727, so the chauffeur brings you to the door rather than dropping you somewhere to locate your own way in.
The setting is part of what makes this corner of Fort Lauderdale worth the trip. Canals thread the city from Las Olas out to the Intracoastal, the reason locals call it the Venice of America, and the beachfront promenade runs for miles just beyond the hotel. Staying here puts you between that walkable oceanfront and the waterways, with the sand a short step from where the car lets you out.
Once you reach, the hotel side of the stay is theirs to handle. Amenities, luggage holds, and early check-in are all covered on Sun Tower Hotel and Suites’s own page, so it is worth a quick look before you sail if you want to confirm room details or when your suite will be ready. Our part is simpler: getting your group and your bags from the terminal to this address in one clean ride, with the fare settled ahead of time so nothing about the drive is left to sort out on the day. You clear the ship, meet the car, and the next stop is the hotel entrance.
Coming off the ship, the car is staged for the terminal curb once your group clears the exit, with 60 minutes of courtesy wait built in. The chauffeur loads your bags at the curbside, not out in a parking lot, and everything rides inside the vehicle with you. From there it is a single leg north on I-95, roughly 32.8 miles from the terminal to the hotel door.
Plan on about 59 to 76 minutes terminal to door, lighter or heavier depending on the hour and the traffic. Disembarkation mornings back up speedy at the exits, but your driver is already in place before you finish clearing the hall, so the waiting is theirs and not yours. One group per vehicle, a bilingual chauffeur, and full luggage assist at both ends keep arrival day to a straight, direct run to Sun Tower Hotel and Suites.

I didn’t want to gamble on a ride the morning I disembarked, so I arranged a private car from the terminal to Sun Tower Hotel and Suites. The last thing you want after a week at sea is a ride that falls through, and this was there exactly when I needed it.
