From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Aloft Orlando Downtown Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full trip one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Aloft Orlando Downtown Hotel puts you in the heart of Orlando, in the part of the city that has little to do with the theme parks most visitors picture. This is the real downtown — a walkable grid of streets where the hotel sits within reach of the things that create Orlando a genuine city rather than a collection of attractions on the edge of town.
Step outside and the neighborhood opens up. Lake Eola anchors downtown with its resident swans and a loop that locals walk in the evening. A short trip north takes you to Winter Park, where Park Avenue lines up its boutiques and cafes. On game and concert nights, the Kia Center fills the surrounding blocks with people, and the energy carries into the restaurants nearby. Staying downtown means you are close to all of it.
When you reach after a long drive up from the coast, the priority is getting inside and settled, and a downtown address makes that simple. For questions about your room, parking, and check-in timing, the hotel itself is the place to ask — those details belong to the property, and the front desk can confirm them for your dates. What we handle is everything up to the moment your chauffeur pulls up to the entrance, so the arrival end of your trip is one less thing to arrange on your own.
The ride runs from your ship’s terminal at the Port of Miami straight to the entrance of Aloft Orlando Downtown Hotel, with no stops along the way. Your chauffeur is waiting when your group clears the terminal, loads every bag at the curb, and points the vehicle north up Florida’s Turnpike for a single, direct leg. Your luggage rides in the vehicle with you, and the car is reserved for your party alone from the port all the way to the hotel door.
Plan on roughly 230 to 240 minutes between the port and the hotel, depending on the hour and the traffic on the day you travel. It is a real road trip, and that distance is exactly where a private vehicle earns its place — room to spread out, your own climate control, and a driver who knows the route. Because the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation, you are not standing at the curb waiting, and the drive begins as soon as your group is ready to go.
