Ave Maria to Miami Cruise Port — $180 Flat Rate
Flat-rate transportation from Ave Maria to PortMiami with a local driver and luggage help.
What to expect on the Miami Cruise Port ride.
PortMiami — officially the Dante B. Fascell Port of Miami — is the busiest cruise port in the world, home base to Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Norwegian, MSC, Virgin Voyages, Disney Cruise Line, and Oceania. From Ave Maria, the drive is about 2 hours 5 minutes across Alligator Alley and into downtown via I-395.
Our $180 flat rate is built specifically for cruise embarkation — your driver knows the terminal alphabet (Terminal A for Royal's Oasis-class, Terminal V for Virgin, Terminal F for Carnival, Terminal J for MSC), helps with luggage curbside, and waits if traffic on the MacArthur Causeway is heavy.
Book each direction separately. That way we can match the embarkation window for your outbound leg, and the actual disembarkation time (often 7–11 AM) for the return.
