From $240 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to The Colony Hotel 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.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside greeting costs nothing extra; the Meet & Greet at the terminal with a name sign adds $40.
The Colony Hotel sits on the island of Palm Beach, across the Intracoastal Waterway from the mainland, in one of the most storied corners of the Florida coast. This is a place of mansions, quiet streets, and a pace that slows the moment you cross the water. Arriving here after a long cruise leg feels like stepping into a distinct rhythm, one measured in ocean air and shaded sidewalks rather than terminals and gangways.
What waits nearby is the reason so numerous travelers create the journey. Worth Avenue, with its vaulted shopping arcades and hidden courtyards, sits within simple reach of the hotel, and The Breakers stands close by along the same stretch of coast. History has its place too: the Flagler Museum, the former home of Henry Flagler, is a short outing, and the Lake Trail runs along the Intracoastal for walkers who desire to take in the water and the grand houses that line it.
The Colony puts you in the middle of all of it, which is what makes the drop-off feel less like the end of a journey and more like the start of one. Your chauffeur brings you to the door with your bags, so the first thing you do on the island is settle in rather than hunt for the entrance or drag luggage across an unfamiliar block. From here, Palm Beach opens up on foot: the shops, the trail, the museum, and the long line of the Atlantic just beyond.
The route from the cruise terminal to The Colony Hotel runs about 71.6 miles and normally takes 93 to 108 minutes by way of I-95, a single direct leg with no transfers along the way. Once your group clears customs and walks off the ship, your chauffeur is already staged at the terminal, organized by message so you meet at the curb rather than searching a crowded hall. The bags go straight into the vehicle, and the drive begins.
Your booking includes 60 minutes of complimentary wait at the port, so the pace of the customs line never costs you the ride within that time. Traffic on I-95 is the only real variable, which is why the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare rather than a slot cut to the minute. From the curb at PortMiami to the door of The Colony Hotel, it stays one peaceful, direct journey.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.

Se nota la organización. Sin drama, sin apuros, sin cambios de última hora.
nos sorprendió para bien, el vehículo estaba impecable por dentro.
Waiting at the curb the moment we walked out, and a smooth ride over to The Colony Hotel. It was a private car for our party alone — nobody else to wait on — exactly right for the morning.
De crucero con los niños, no queríamos caos el día del desembarque, así que una van privada directo hasta The Colony Hotel valió cada minuto. El conductor nos dejó justo en la puerta de The Colony Hotel, y no en una esquina con las maletas. Había un cartel con nuestro nombre en la acera, así que ubicamos al conductor sin buscar nada.
Bajamos del barco cansados pero contentos y un conductor ya esperando para llevarnos a The Colony Hotel fue justo lo indicado. Era un auto privado solo para nosotros — sin nadie a quien esperar — un alivio tras una semana a bordo. Sin recorrer un estacionamiento — caminamos de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí.
