Miami hotels with a cruise shuttle to the port

A hotel shuttle helps most if you stay by Miami International Airport, where the hotels are 11 to 17 minutes from the cruise terminals by car. These are the hotels whose own websites say they run, sell or arrange a ride to the port, as the sites read on October 28, 2026. None of them names a terminal: they all say “the port” or “the Port of Miami”, so tell the driver which terminal is on your boarding documents.

Four of the 13 are downtown, three further out put the ride in a package, and six are by the airport. The table lists the downtown hotels first, closest to the terminals.

Is there a free cruise shuttle in Miami?

Yes, at two hotels, and both are one way. Comfort Inn & Suites Miami International Airport and Comfort Suites Miami Airport North, next door to each other in Miami Springs, run a free shuttle to the port every morning. You register at the front desk when you check in, and seats go first come, first served. Comfort Suites adds that the ride isn’t guaranteed once it’s full.

Neither brings you back for free. Both sell the return from the port for $15 through a third-party shuttle coordinator, which you arrange with the coordinator on the day you check out. Both hotels are 15 minutes from the terminals by car and run a free airport shuttle from 6:00 AM to 11:30 PM.

Two packages also include the ride. Regency Miami Airport by Sonesta makes its shuttle free for guests on its Stay & Sail package, and SpringHill Suites Miami Downtown/Medical Center takes two adults free with its Breakfast to Boarding package.

Which shuttles have a published price?

• Comfort Inn & Suites Downtown Brickell-Port of Miami: $12 a person, one way, registered at check-in. It is the cheapest ride we found that you can buy without a package, and the hotel is 7 minutes from Terminals D to J by car.
• Sonesta Miami Airport: $17 a person, with pick-ups at the hotel at 9:00 and 11:00. Luggage help is included, and the hotel asks you to be in the lobby 15 minutes early.
• Hilton Miami Airport Blue Lagoon: $17 a person, run by a third party from Friday to Monday only and booked with the concierge at check-in.
• Regency Miami Airport by Sonesta: free with its package, and $15 a person for additional guests. The hotel says the shuttle has no fixed schedule and is run by a vendor; reserve it at the front desk.

Hilton Miami Downtown uses the same third-party wording as the Blue Lagoon, Friday to Monday, at an extra cost it doesn’t state. The Elser Hotel Miami arranges a ride through a local partner for a fee it doesn’t state either.

Which rides come inside a package?

• YVE Hotel Miami: a Transfer to Port of Miami rate with a shuttle from the hotel to the port. The price isn’t published, and the FAQ says to contact the hotel for times.
• Aloft by Marriott Miami - Brickell: Stay Tonight Cruise Tomorrow (promo code ES7) adds a grab-and-go breakfast for two and two shuttle vouchers to the port, for stays from September 1 to December 1, 2026.
• SpringHill Suites Miami Downtown/Medical Center: Breakfast to Boarding (promo code QZR) includes breakfast, a one-way ride to the port for two adults, $10 for each extra guest, and $10-a-day parking for up to seven nights after your stay. It covers stays to December 31, 2026.
• EB Hotel Miami: the Stay & Cruise Package includes one-way transport to the port for two, breakfast for two and the 24-hour airport shuttle, with $20 for an additional guest.
• Miccosukee Casino & Resort: the Park & Cruise Package is one night, breakfast for two, parking while you cruise and a round trip to the port. The hotel says the offer is valid until November 30, without giving a year, and the resort is 33 minutes from the terminals by car.

We don’t print the package prices: they include the room, and room rates change daily.

Can I get a ride back from the port after the cruise?

Only a few hotels offer one. Miccosukee’s package is the only ride that says round trip, and the two Comfort hotels sell the return for $15. Two hotels pay toward a car instead: the Miami Marriott Biscayne Bay’s pre and post cruise package (promo code TRS) includes a $30 Uber voucher to or from the port, for stays to January 31, 2027, and the Hyatt Regency Miami’s cruise package gives a $10 credit per room toward transport to the port.

Otherwise it’s a taxi or a rideshare, and the PortMiami terminals guide has the times and fares to MIA.

Why isn’t my hotel on this list?

We list a shuttle only when the hotel’s own website says it goes to the port. Hilton’s brand-wide Park, Stay & Go appears on several Miami Hilton pages, but it promises parking and an airport shuttle and says only that some hotels may also serve nearby cruise ports, so it doesn’t count here.

Cruise blogs name more airport hotels with port shuttles. Some may be right, but we couldn’t confirm them on the hotels’ own sites, and older blog posts credit the DoubleTree Grand Biscayne Bay and the Hampton Inn Miami Airport East with cruise packages that neither site showed on October 28, 2026. If your hotel isn’t here, ask it directly. The Port of Miami hotels guide compares all 30 hotels we checked.
