From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to The Vagabond Hotel Miami 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.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
The Vagabond Hotel Miami sits just north of downtown, close to the mural-covered warehouses, craft breweries, and galleries that offer Wynwood its character, with Midtown’s shops and the Miami Design District a short distance away. It is a hotel with its own personality rather than a chain address, and it makes a natural base for travelers who desire to be near the city’s art-and-food core rather than in the middle of the cruise crowd. When you book a private ride here, the drop-off is the hotel’s own entrance, not a general region.
The blocks around the hotel form one of Miami’s most creative pockets. Wynwood Walls anchors the street-art scene a short ride away, the Rubell Museum sits neighboring in the same Wynwood and Midtown stretch, and the Design District’s shops and showrooms are close for anyone who wants to browse after checking in. Between the galleries, the breweries, and the restaurants, there is enough within reach to fill the hours before or after a sailing.
On arrival, the chauffeur brings you to the lobby door at the agreed hour and helps with every bag from the vehicle to the entrance. The hotel side — amenities, luggage holds, and early check-in — is handled directly by The Vagabond Hotel Miami through its official page. If you stay on after the cruise, the surrounding Wynwood and Midtown blocks keep the art, food, and shopping close at hand.
The ride is one direct run from the pier to the hotel. Once your group clears the terminal on Dodge Island, the chauffeur meets you at the curb — organized by message as you come out of the hall — and loads every bag into the vehicle so nothing rides on your lap or trails behind you on the sidewalk. From there it is a straight route toward the hotel, with the whole party together in one vehicle reserved for you alone.
Because the pickup is timed to your ship’s actual arrival, the driver is already in place when you reach the curb, and every booking includes sixty minutes of complimentary wait so a slow customs line never costs you the ride within that time. Tolls and fuel are already built into the flat rate, so the total you agreed to when booking is the total on the day, door to door.
