From $245 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to The Breakers Hotel Palm Beach in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
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.
The Breakers Hotel sits on the barrier island of Palm Beach, the slim strip of land that faces West Palm Beach across the Intracoastal water. Arriving here after a cruise means trading the crowded terminal for one of Florida’s quieter, greener stretches of coast. The island keeps its own unhurried pace, and the hotel anchors it, a longstanding address that has marked this part of the Palm Beach shoreline as a place people come to slow down.
Just across the water, West Palm Beach gives the region its downtown pulse. Clematis Street runs through the heart of it, while Rosemary Square gathers more of the same a few blocks over. The Kravis Center brings theater and music to the same district, and the mainland waterfront looks straight back at Palm Beach island. From The Breakers, all of it sits a short hop over the bridges, so an afternoon on the mainland is simple to fold into a stay.
When your driver pulls up to The Breakers, the run from the port is behind you and the day opens up. Your bags come out of the vehicle at the entrance, and you step out where the island’s peaceful takes over from the motion of the highway. Whether you are checking in to start a stay or passing through on your way somewhere else on the island, arriving by private car means you finish the long journey day at the door, not at a curb down the road.
The ride begins right at your cruise terminal. Once you clear the ship and customs, your chauffeur is already staged at the curb, so there is no line to join and no lot to hunt for. Bags go straight into the vehicle, everyone climbs in together, and the car pulls out as one direct leg north. The route covers about 69.6 miles up I-95, and the whole party rides in the vehicle reserved for them alone.
Plan on roughly 94 to 109 minutes from the terminal to the door at The Breakers, depending on the hour and how heavy the traffic sits on I-95. Disembarkation mornings crowd the terminal exits, but because the driver is waiting before you walk out, that wait belongs to the driver and not to you. From there it is a single run up to Palm Beach, with the luggage staying in the car until it comes out at the hotel.
