From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Tru by Hilton Miami Airport South Blue Lagoon in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
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.
Tru by Hilton Miami Airport South Blue Lagoon sits at 1101 Northwest 57th Avenue, Miami 33126, inside the stretch of the city known as the MIA Airport District. It is a simple landing spot for cruise travelers who desire to stay close to both the terminals and the water. The building faces the everyday rhythm of a transit neighborhood, and its address puts you within reach of the expressways and the lakes that offer this pocket of Miami its name.
The region around the hotel was made for people on the move. Hotel rows line NW 36th Street, office parks sit along the lakeshores, and expressways run out in every direction. Blue Lagoon is close by, and Miami Springs Golf Course is a short distance away if you have a few hours before your ship or your flight. The Palmetto Expressway and NW 36th Street frame the district, so reaching anywhere from here comes down to choosing your road.
On arrival your chauffeur brings the car to the hotel entrance rather than a parking structure, and your luggage travels with you to the door. Anything about the stay itself belongs to the property, and its official page covers the rooms and the front desk. Our part is the ride: a private vehicle reserved for your group alone, timed to your plans, with the driver handling every bag from the curb to the lobby.
Coming off the ship, the plan starts before you clear the exit. Your chauffeur is staged at the Port of Miami terminal while you move through customs and the luggage hall, so the wait belongs to the driver, not to you. Every booking includes 60 minutes of courtesy wait at the pier, which absorbs the slow minutes that stack up on disembarkation mornings. You walk out, the vehicle is there, and Tru by Hilton Miami Airport South Blue Lagoon is the next stop.
The whole run is door to door and private to your party. Your bags ride inside the same vehicle, carried from the terminal curb straight to the hotel entrance, and the car stays reserved for your group from pickup to drop-off. Fuel and typical tolls are already inside the fare, so there is nothing to settle on the road. Leaving for the ship works the same way, with the chauffeur meeting you at the entrance and loading the luggage.

After a long week at sea, having the ride already handled to Tru by Hilton Miami Airport South Blue Lagoon was worth every bit. The van was roomy enough for all the cruise luggage, a relief in the Miami heat.
There were seven of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to Tru by Hilton Miami Airport South Blue Lagoon was the easy way. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out. There was a thirty-minute cushion from the agreed time, so we never had to rush to gather the bags.
We didn’t want to juggle the little ones and the bags looking for a ride at the port, so we booked a private van to Tru by Hilton Miami Airport South Blue Lagoon. The driver loaded all our cruise luggage so we didn’t have to lift a thing.
