A PRE-CRUISE DAY IN MIAMI
For Journeys that Matter
Arriving in Miami a day early leaves room to enjoy the city before boarding, rather than rushing straight from an airport to the port. LUXY Ride arranges a pre-scheduled chauffeur for whichever leg of that day needs a ride, with a flat rate confirmed before you leave home.
Business travelers who extend a Miami trip into a cruise already know how to make the most of a free day in the city. The same LUXY Ride platform gets a leisure cruiser from South Beach or Brickell to their hotel or the port just as easily.
A Pre-Cruise Day in Miami, at a Glance
A single free day is enough time to take in one neighborhood, a beach afternoon, and a relaxed dinner before an embarkation morning. South Beach's Art Deco district, a Brickell or downtown afternoon, or a Wynwood art walk are common choices depending on the traveler's interests.
HOW IT WORKS
What is LUXY Ride?

WHERE WE SERVE
Pickup and Drop-Off Locations
LUXY Ride serves travelers throughout greater Miami before and after a cruise, including the following:
Miami and Nearby Neighborhoods
Downtown Miami, Brickell, and South Beach, Wynwood and other greater Miami neighborhoods
Airports
Miami International and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International
Cruise Terminals
PortMiami's terminals on Dodge Island
One Day, a Few Good Choices
With one free day, most travelers pick a single neighborhood or a short list of activities rather than trying to see all of greater Miami at once. South Beach and its Art Deco district work well for a first visit, while a returning traveler might prioritize Wynwood, Brickell, or a specific waterfront afternoon. However the day is planned, ending it near PortMiami the night before removes the morning-of transfer as a variable.
Got questions?
We Have Answers
How much time should I plan for a pre-cruise day in Miami?
One full day is generally enough to enjoy a neighborhood or the beach and have a relaxed evening before an embarkation morning, without trying to cover all of greater Miami.
What neighborhoods work well for a pre-cruise stay?
Downtown Miami and Brickell sit closest to PortMiami, keeping the morning-of transfer shortest.
Can LUXY Ride handle multiple stops during my pre-cruise day?
Yes. Multi-stop bookings are available, so a single day of sightseeing can include more than one pickup and drop-off.
Can LUXY Ride pick me up from South Beach and take me back to my downtown hotel?
Yes. LUXY Ride serves pickups throughout greater Miami, not only airport and port transfers.
How do I get from my hotel to PortMiami the next morning?
Book that trip the same way, through the LUXY Ride App or luxyride.com, with the same flat-rate pricing as any other cruise terminal transfer.
