From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Ventura Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full journey one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, the Meet & Greet at the terminal adds $40, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
Ventura Resort sits along the Palm Beach County coast, up in Boca Raton, one of the calmer stretches of South Florida’s Atlantic shoreline. It makes a simple base for travelers who want the ocean close by without the density of the bigger cities, with the beach, the town’s parks, and its shopping all within comfortable reach. After a cruise, it is the kind of place where the pace slows down the moment you settle in.
Boca Raton gives the stay plenty to fill a few unhurried days. The landmark pink resort anchors the town and sets its tone, while Mizner Park draws visitors to its boutiques for browsing and a simple afternoon out. Gumbo Limbo Nature Center, with its sea-turtle tanks, sits within simple reach for a short outing, and Red Reef Park adds a quiet stretch of sand and shoreline nearby. Florida Atlantic University rounds out the immediate neighborhood, so the region around Ventura Resort covers coast, culture, and green space in one compact corner of the county.
When your ride reaches Ventura Resort, the chauffeur pulls up to the entrance and handles every bag from the vehicle to the door, so the last stretch of the journey is as calm as the setting itself. You step out at the resort rather than at a busy terminal curb, with the whole vehicle reserved for your group from the port straight through to arrival. It is a gentle way to close out the day you leave the ship and open your time on the Boca Raton coast.
The journey runs as one direct leg from the cruise terminal to Ventura Resort’s door. Once your group clears the exit hall and customs, the car is already staged at the terminal curb, so the chauffeur is waiting on you rather than the other way around. There is a 60-minute courtesy wait built in to absorb the slow crawl of a disembarkation morning, and the driver loads every bag into the vehicle before you pull away. From there it is a straight run north on I-95, with the whole car reserved for your party alone.
Plan on roughly 70 to 85 minutes from the terminal to the resort entrance, depending on the hour and how heavy the traffic runs. Mornings at the port stack up speedy at the exits, but because the vehicle is positioned before you walk out, that wait stays off your clock. You leave the ship, the car is there, and Ventura Resort is the next stop.

De la confirmación a la bajada, cada paso en su sitio.
We came off the ship tired but happy and a driver already waiting to take us to Ventura Resort set the tone for the rest of the trip. Booking was quick, we got a solid confirmation, and everything lined up perfectly. For a no-hassle way to get from the ship to Ventura Resort, it was well worth it. Thanks for the smooth handoff!
Un grupo de nosotros bajamos del barco juntos y reservamos una van privada del puerto a Ventura Resort. El van estaba con espacio de sobra para todo el equipaje del crucero, un alivio con el calor de Miami. Había un cartel con nuestro nombre en la acera, así que ubicamos al conductor sin dar vueltas.
We cruised with a group of friends and wanted everyone and the luggage in one private ride to Ventura Resort after disembarking.
Viajando con los niños, reservamos una van privada para que nos esperara en la terminal de cruceros y llevara a todos hasta Ventura Resort. Sin caos en el puerto — caminamos de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí. Llegar a Ventura Resort a primera hora significó que pudimos hacer el check-in y por fin darnos una ducha tras la semana en el mar.
