- Distance
- 30 mi
- Duration
- ~40 min
Not sailing from PortMiami? If you landed at Miami International and your cruise line's terminal is actually at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, you're in the right place. It's a common mix-up — two major Florida cruise ports, both reachable from MIA, and cruise lines don't always make the terminal name obvious on your documents.
From MIA, Port Everglades is about 30 miles north, roughly 40 minutes up I-95, cutting the opposite direction from a PortMiami run. Same airport, same baggage claim, different destination entirely — worth double-checking your boarding pass or cruise confirmation before you commit to a pickup.
We run this exact route regularly enough that it's not an afterthought add-on: it's a mirror of our MIA-to-PortMiami page, built for the segment of travelers whose ship happens to load out of Fort Lauderdale instead.
Pickup Procedure
At MIA, your chauffeur meets you curbside at the arrivals level door closest to your baggage carousel, or waits inside at baggage claim with a name sign if you selected meet-and-greet. We track your flight and hold 60 minutes of free wait time from landing, so a slow customs line or checked-bag delay doesn't threaten your Port Everglades boarding window.

Frequently Asked
My cruise confirmation says 'Fort Lauderdale' but I'm flying into MIA — is that normal?
Yes. A lot of cruise lines list the port city as Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades), and MIA is a perfectly reasonable airport to fly into for it — you're just 30 miles from the terminal instead of landing at FLL directly.
How do I know if I'm sailing from PortMiami or Port Everglades?
Check your cruise line's boarding documents for the terminal address — PortMiami addresses are on Port Boulevard in downtown Miami; Port Everglades terminals are numbered and sit off Eller Drive or Eisenhower Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale. When in doubt, tell us your cruise line and sail date and we'll confirm before booking.
What's the fare for MIA to Port Everglades?
$165 flat, door to terminal, regardless of which numbered Port Everglades terminal your ship uses.
Is 40 minutes enough buffer if my flight lands close to boarding cutoff?
It's a short drive, but we still recommend a minimum 2.5-hour cushion between landing and boarding cutoff to allow for baggage claim, the drive, and terminal check-in — especially on a Saturday turnaround day at the port.
