Ship to ship, or ship to plane

Some cruises end in one port while the holiday carries on from another. If your week out of Port Canaveral is followed by a second sailing from PortMiami, or by a flight home from Miami International, the drive south is the link between the two, and it is a long one: the operator's estimate is 205 to 220 miles, which works out at 240 to 310 minutes of driving before any break. A private car lets you plan that link as a single booking.

You give the ship you are leaving and its terminal, then the exact end point: a Miami street address, an airline and flight, or the next ship with its sailing date and boarding deadline. Downtown, Brickell and Miami Beach each count as their own destination, so the address matters. The chauffeur brings the vehicle forward only after the last member of your group has disembarked, suitcases included.

The long run south

Canaveral Pier to Miami, in Numbers

Of the four Atlantic-coast cities served from the pier, Miami is the farthest. These are the operator's driving figures for Miami as a city; reaching an airport, a cruise terminal or a beach hotel adds its own approach on top.

A back-to-back sailing or a same-day flight needs a margin no driving estimate can supply. Check the boarding deadline with the second cruise line and the check-in time with your airline before you choose a pickup.

Disembarkation to Miami

How the Handover Between Ports Runs

  1. Book both ends at once

    Enter the ship you are leaving, its terminal if known, and the Miami end point. For PortMiami add the next ship, sailing date and boarding deadline; for MIA, the airline and flight.

  2. Clear the ship first

    Step off, complete arrival formalities and round up each suitcase. The car moves into the pickup area once the whole party is ready, with 30 minutes of included waiting.

  3. Break the drive once

    Somewhere on a trip of four hours or more, use the included pause for lunch or a stretch. Put it on the booking so the schedule allows for it.

  4. Arrive at the right door

    The chauffeur heads for the precise Miami address on file — a cruise terminal, the airport or a hotel entrance — rather than the city in general.

Choosing a Vehicle for Four-Plus Hours on the Road

Four hours and more in one seat makes cabin room and cargo space as important as how many people fit — especially when the bags are going on to another ship.

Why book it privately

A Long Transfer, Planned End to End

One booking, two ports

The ride links the ship you leave at Canaveral with a flight or a second sailing in Miami, planned as one itinerary.

Traffic doesn't raise the fare

There is no additional charge for traffic, which counts for a lot on a drive measured in hours rather than minutes.

A half-hour break built in

A single pause of up to 30 minutes comes with the transfer; say roughly where you'd like it when you reserve.

Slack at the pier

Thirty minutes of complimentary waiting start at the confirmed pickup time, for a slow luggage hall on the way off.

Your boarding deadline on file

For PortMiami, the next ship's sailing date and boarding deadline sit on the reservation, so the pickup is chosen against them.

Help in two languages

Talk the plan through in English or Spanish, with assistance for bookings and booked trips at any hour.

Back-to-Back Cruises: Canaveral Off, PortMiami On

Leaving one ship in the morning and boarding another in Miami the same day can be planned, but the margin belongs to you, not to the car. Start from the second line's boarding deadline and work backwards: the drive south, the stop if you want one, and the time the first ship takes to release your group and its luggage. If that arithmetic only works on a good day, consider a night in Miami between sailings. A private ride cannot extend any cruise deadline, and no transfer guarantees boarding, so give the booking the next ship's details and choose a pickup with real slack in it.

Flying Out of MIA After the Cruise

The operator's own advice for a flight after a cruise is to avoid tight connections, and on a drive that runs past the four-hour mark that advice carries extra weight. Confirm with the cruise line when your ship lets passengers off and with the airline what check-in time it wants, then add the whole driving range rather than its lower end. The reservation should carry the airline and the flight so the pickup is planned backwards from departure. If the numbers only just work, a later flight or a night at a Miami hotel is worth considering; either one is simply a different end point on the same booking.

Where in Miami, Exactly?

Miami is several destinations under one name. Downtown, Brickell and Miami Beach are separate end points, and a beach hotel has a final approach of its own, so the booking needs a street address, a terminal or a flight rather than just the city. The mileage and time quoted on this page describe Miami as a whole; the airport, the cruise port and the beach each add their own access time. If you will also need a ride north again later, a pickup in Miami has to be reserved more than 24 hours ahead, and each leg of a round trip is confirmed on its own.

Why private

Why Travelers Book a Private Ride to the Port

The cruise starts at the gangway. The 46 miles between a runway and that gangway are the part worth handing to someone else.

  • Permitted at the Port's Curb

    Port Canaveral restricts terminal access to prearranged, permitted commercial transport. This service holds permits at the port, at MCO and at Orlando Sanford, so nothing gets negotiated at a gate.

  • Your Party, Your Vehicle

    A shared shuttle waits for other flights and stops at other ships. A private transfer leaves when your group is ready and drives to one terminal: yours.

  • Room for Cruise Luggage

    Formal nights and a week of swimwear add up. You choose the vehicle at booking against your headcount and suitcases — up to twelve travelers and twelve bags in the Sprinter.

  • Car Seats at No Charge

    Up to two car seats and two boosters come free. Ask for them in the booking form.

  • The Total Before You Pay

    The booking form shows an all-inclusive rate for your itinerary before you confirm — no meter running east of the airport.

  • A 30-Minute Stop Included

    Forgot the swimsuits? Every transfer includes one stop of up to 30 minutes on the way, requested at booking.
