From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to The New 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.
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.
The New Hotel puts you inside South Beach at 7337 Harding Avenue, Miami Beach 33141. It is a Miami Beach address rather than a mainland one, which means the coast, the sand, and the walkable grid that people picture when they think of this part of the city are all within reach the moment you reach. This is the destination for travelers who desire to be close to the water and the classic scene rather than tucked away from it.
The setting is what makes the location work. From the sand at Lummus Park to the pastel facades along Ocean Drive, South Beach gathers the familiar Miami Beach postcard into one compact, walkable region. The Art Deco Historic District, Española Way, and Lincoln Road are all part of the neighborhood around you, and the New World Center sits close by as well. You can leave your bags and be out among it on foot within minutes.
For a group coming off a cruise, that proximity changes the shape of the day. Because South Beach runs right along the coast, a beach afternoon is the natural next move — drop your luggage at The New Hotel and walk to the water. If you stay on after the cruise, Ocean Drive and the Lincoln Road Mall are near, with the Art Deco streets and the New World Center rounding out an region you can cover without getting back in a car. The New Hotel works as both a place to land and a base for everything South Beach keeps within walking distance.
The ride begins at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island. Once your group clears the exit hall, the chauffeur is organized by message and meets you right at the curb, then loads every bag so nothing rides on your shoulder across the port. From there it is a single run to The New Hotel — no stop to change vehicles, no line to stand in.
From the pier the route follows the MacArthur Causeway and SR A1A, covering roughly 12.3 miles to the door. Plan on about 13 to 15 minutes terminal to door, with traffic on the causeway the only real variable. That is why the pickup is timed to your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare — a checked-luggage group takes a little longer to clear than self-assist walkers, and the wait window absorbs that rather than a slot cut to the minute.

Coming ashore by myself, I had a driver already at the curb for the ride to The New Hotel — nothing left to chance. It was a private car just for me — no one else’s stops — a relief after a week aboard.
Tras una semana larga en el mar, tener un auto privado listo hasta The New Hotel fue un alivio. Había un cartel con nuestro nombre junto a las puertas de la terminal, así que ubicamos al conductor sin buscar nada.
Éramos ocho bajando en PortMiami, y un traslado privado a The New Hotel fue la forma fácil. La noche anterior recibimos un mensaje con el nombre del conductor y la placa, así que no había duda de cuál era el auto al salir.
Private, on time, and we didn’t have to think about a thing between the ship and The New Hotel. The ride from the terminal to The New Hotel was smooth and steady, and we could just settle in.
The little ones were half asleep when we walked off, and a private van right at the terminal got everyone to The New Hotel in one piece. Honestly the easiest part of the whole trip — everything just fell into place at the terminal. It was a private car for our party alone — no one else’s stops — a relief after a week aboard.
