PortMiami Cruise Transportation
Chauffeured cruise transfers to and from PortMiami from the airports and hotels, timed to your sailing, 24/7.
PortMiami cruise transportation from Genius Limo is a pre-booked, chauffeured transfer to and from the world's busiest cruise port, timed to your boarding window rather than a best-case drive.
PortMiami is about 8 miles from Miami International and a similar short hop from downtown hotels, while Fort Lauderdale and Port Everglades are roughly 30 miles north. A cruise boarding deadline is far less forgiving than a flight, so on a turnaround day, when thousands of passengers move at once, the drive time is only part of the plan: baggage, the port approach and check-in all need a real buffer.
From MIA, FLL and the hotels
From Miami International the port is about 8 miles and a short transfer; from a downtown or Brickell hotel it is minutes away. From Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood the run is roughly 30 miles and around 45 minutes to an hour, longer on a turnaround Saturday. We match the airport and the timing to your ship's boarding window.
Timing a turnaround day
On embarkation day the port and its approaches back up as a full ship boards, so we budget the drive plus baggage handling plus the port queue plus a genuine buffer. An earlier pickup is the safer choice, and we plan the pickup to land you inside your boarding window, not at the edge of it.
Return, groups and Port Everglades
Disembarkation mornings are their own kind of busy, and we stage the return so your vehicle is ready when you clear customs. For families and groups we run SUVs and Sprinters with room for cruise luggage, and we cover Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale for the sailings that leave from there.

Frequently asked questions
How far is PortMiami from Miami Airport?
About 8 miles, a short transfer of roughly 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic. On a turnaround Saturday the port approach backs up, so we build in a buffer beyond the drive time.
Should I fly into Miami or Fort Lauderdale for a PortMiami cruise?
Miami International is closer to PortMiami at about 8 miles. Fort Lauderdale is roughly 30 miles north, so unless the flights are decisively better, MIA is the simpler choice for a PortMiami sailing. We serve both.
How much time should I allow between landing and boarding?
More than the drive suggests. Allow the road time plus baggage plus the port queue plus a genuine buffer, and choose an earlier flight if you can, a missed cruise is much harder to recover from than a missed flight.
Do you also serve Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes. Many sailings leave from Port Everglades, and we run transfers there from MIA, FLL and Miami hotels on the same timed basis.
How is a cruise transfer priced?
Flat and per vehicle, quoted before you book, with tolls and your included wait time already in the fare, rather than per person.
Can you handle a family with a lot of luggage?
Yes. SUVs and up-to-fourteen-passenger Sprinters are built for cruise luggage, and we recommend the right size when you book.
