Ride private to or from Port of Miami and Touchdown Hostel Little Havana: roughly 3.3 miles, 14–16 minutes by Port Boulevard, reserved ahead at a flat rate from $80 per vehicle. One group per vehicle, a bilingual chauffeur, and a pickup staged for your ship’s arrival — never a shared shuttle.
Pricing is flat and per vehicle for the one-way run — the group travels together for a single locked fare, tolls and fuel included.
The most reliable option is a pre-booked private transfer: a private SUV assigned to your group, timed to your ship’s arrival, staged at the terminal when you walk off.
The chauffeur loads the bags at the terminal curb and takes Port Boulevard, so the roughly 3.3 miles to Touchdown Hostel Little Havana is a single, direct leg.
Calle Ocho (SW 8th Street) and the Tower Theater sit within easy reach of the stay, with Ball & Chain and Cuban Memorial Boulevard also nearby in Little Havana.
The booking terms fit on one hand — deposit, balance, refund window, done.
At the hotel, look for your driver at the main entrance. At the port, the pickup is coordinated by message as you walk off, and the included 30-minute wait window absorbs slow gangways.
For early arrivals and late flights we run flexible, private hourly tours straight from the cruise terminals — the luggage stays locked in the vehicle while you explore.
A stay near Calle Ocho means Little Havana’s music, Cuban bakeries, and Domino Park are outside the door, with downtown and the port a straight shot east.

A few things sit outside the fare, so you can plan for them:
Budget 14 to 16 minutes between Port of Miami and Touchdown Hostel Little Havana, depending on the hour.
Traffic on Port Boulevard is the only variable, which is why the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare rather than a slot cut to the minute.
Every booking gets its own vehicle and chauffeur — a higher level of service built around your sailing, not a pooled shuttle making the rounds.
For the whole vehicle. The flat rate above covers your entire group one way — it does not increase per passenger.
Roughly 14 to 16 minutes terminal to door, depending on traffic and the hour.
Yes — the same flat one-way rate covers the reverse leg. Book both directions together and each pickup is planned around your ship’s schedule.
Yes — book both legs together (each priced at the flat one-way rate) and the return pickup is scheduled for your sailing date.
Ships sail on their own clock — pickups outside the 7:00 AM–9:00 PM window carry a small surcharge:
Disembarkation mornings are exactly when app prices spike: thousands of passengers request cars at once and an Uber or Lyft fare can multiply at the terminal curb. A reserved transfer to Touchdown Hostel Little Havana is priced before any of that happens, and it cannot move.
Coming off a ship with the whole passenger list, the calculus is simple — a locked fare and a driver already assigned, instead of hoping the nearest car accepts a trip from the port at rush hour.
