FLL and MIA Airport to Port Everglades
Port Everglades sits just minutes from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), making it the closest and most convenient airport for most sailings. We track your inbound flight in real time and transfer you straight from the terminal to your cruise line drop-off, so a delayed flight never costs you your embarkation window. Flying into Miami International Airport (MIA) instead? We handle that longer transfer just as smoothly, with a flat rate confirmed up front. See our airport limo service for arrival details.

Embarkation Day Timing
Most cruise lines open boarding about three to four hours before departure and close it 60 to 90 minutes prior. We plan your pickup so you arrive within your assigned window with time to spare, accounting for traffic on I-595 and around the port. Your chauffeur assists with luggage from the vehicle to the terminal porters, so your vacation starts the moment you step out of the car.
Post-Cruise Pickups
Disembarkation mornings are hectic. We schedule your return around your ship’s arrival time and monitor for early or delayed clearance, then transfer you to FLL, MIA, your Fort Lauderdale or Miami hotel, or onward to Key Largo and the Keys. No standing in taxi lines with your luggage after a week at sea.
Vehicles for Every Group Size
From a private sedan for two to a 31-passenger coach for a full tour group, we match the vehicle to your party and luggage. Families with cruise bags travel comfortably in our SUVs, and groups sailing together stay together in our executive vans and coaches.
Which Cruise Lines Sail from Port Everglades
Port Everglades is a homeport for Princess, Celebrity, Holland America, Royal Caribbean, Silversea, and more, spread across multiple cruise terminals along the harbor. Each cruise line uses a specific terminal, and knowing yours saves time on a busy embarkation morning. When you book, we confirm your ship, terminal, and boarding window in advance, then deliver you directly to the correct drop-off so there is no wandering the port with luggage. For back-to-back or repositioning cruises, we coordinate the full turnaround, including any hotel night in between.
Fort Lauderdale Hotels and Pre-Cruise Stays
Many travelers fly in the day before and stay near the port for a stress-free embarkation. We provide transfers from FLL and MIA to Fort Lauderdale Beach hotels, the Riverside Hotel on Las Olas, and downtown properties, then a short morning hop to the terminal. Staying overnight removes the risk of a same-day flight delay costing you your cruise, and your chauffeur handles every leg so you arrive rested and on schedule.
