From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Villa Venice Men’s Resort 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.
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.
Villa Venice Men’s Resort sits in Fort Lauderdale, the city that earned the name the Venice of America for the canals that thread it from Las Olas all the way to the Intracoastal. It is a short run up the coast from PortMiami, close enough that a ship arriving in the morning can have you checked in and settled well before the afternoon. The resort keeps you inside one of South Florida’s most walkable pockets, where the water is never far and the pace slows the moment you step off the road.
What surrounds you on arrival is the top of Fort Lauderdale. Las Olas Boulevard and the Riverwalk are the two places guests here tend to gravitate toward first, one lined with shops and cafes, the other tracing the New River through the heart of downtown. The Bonnet House and its grounds are neighboring, and Port Everglades is close as well, so the coastline that first brought you ashore stays within simple reach.
Beyond those landmarks, the beachfront promenade runs for miles, giving you a long, open stretch to walk once the bags are down. Fort Lauderdale’s canals make the whole region feel built around the water, and the resort’s setting puts that at the center of the stay rather than the edge of it. It is the kind of place where the destination itself is part of the journey, not just a room at the end of a drive, and where a first-time visitor finds ample within a few minutes of the door.
The journey begins the moment you clear disembarkation. Your reserved black SUV meets you curbside at your ship’s own terminal, not out in a parking lot, and the chauffeur handles the luggage right there at the curb. From PortMiami it is a single, direct leg up I-95 to Villa Venice Men’s Resort, roughly 32 miles with no stops added along the way. Plan on 55 to 73 minutes depending on the hour, since traffic on I-95 is the one variable on the route.
Because the pickup is timed to your ship’s actual arrival rather than a slot cut to the minute, customs lines never cost you the ride, and there is room to spare built into the plan. Your bags stay in the vehicle the whole way, the group has the car to itself, and the driver takes you straight to the door at Villa Venice Men’s Resort, where the luggage comes out at the other end.
