From $340 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Aster at Lely Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the curbside greeting included in the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal available for $40 if you want it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Aster at Lely Resort places you in the Naples region on Florida’s Gulf coast, about 127.1 miles by road from Port of Miami. After a morning at sea, the address feels like a genuine change of pace — the peaceful, spread-out rhythm of Naples rather than the hectic port you just left behind. This is where the ride pays off, because reaching it is a real drive across the state, and arriving fresh at the door makes the difference.
Once you are settled, Naples opens up around you. Guests staying here frequently make time for the Naples Pier and the shops and cafes of Third Street South, both easy touchstones for a first afternoon ashore. The Naples Botanical Garden and Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park sit nearby as well, giving you a mix of gardens, Gulf beach, and open air within the same stretch of coast.
Naples refines the Gulf side of Florida, and you feel it quickly. Fifth Avenue South lines up its white-tablecloth blocks for a proper dinner out, the historic pier turns golden at sunset, and the Everglades wait just past the town’s back door for anyone who wants a wilder day. From Aster at Lely Resort you can keep things quiet and coastal or push out toward the water and the wetlands — either way you land in a corner of the state built for slowing down. Tell us the ship and the arrival date and the vehicle is staged for the morning you actually walk off.
Book before you dock and disembarkation becomes the easy part. Your driver is coordinated by message as you exit the ship, so whether you come off early as a self-assist walker or later with checked luggage, someone is already tracking your arrival. Pickup is curbside at your terminal, not a distant parking lot, and it follows your ship’s real arrival time with room to spare rather than a slot cut to the minute.
From the pier it is one straight run along I-75 to the door of Aster at Lely Resort — about 127.1 miles, and usually 122 to 135 minutes terminal to door depending on traffic and the hour. Your bags ride in the vehicle with you, with hands-on help from curb to lobby, and the whole party travels together with no stops beyond the ones you ask for. The car is reserved for your group alone the entire way.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
