From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Avanti International Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full journey one way. Select by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, the Meet & Greet at the terminal adds $40, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
Avanti International Resort sits at 8738 International Drive in Orlando, right on the strip that most visitors simply call I-Drive. It is an address built for travelers who want Orlando’s main attractions within simple reach and a single, familiar base to return to each evening. Arriving straight from your cruise, you pull up to the door with your bags still in the vehicle and step directly into the part of Orlando most people come to see.
International Drive is Orlando’s main tourist artery, and this resort is planted in the middle of it. Attractions, outlet malls, and the convention center are stacked end to end along the same corridor, so much of what fills an Orlando itinerary is already close by. That location is the point of the address: it keeps the theme parks, the shopping, and the dining within a short reach of where you are staying, without a long daily commute to get to any of them.
From this stretch of I-Drive, guests often work in Universal Orlando Resort and ICON Park once they are settled, with the Orange County Convention Center and SeaWorld Orlando also close along International Drive. The mix is what makes the address useful after a cruise: roller coasters and the observation wheel for one group, meetings and trade shows for another, and shopping or a quieter dinner for anyone who wants an easier day. Whatever the plan, Avanti International Resort puts you where Orlando’s visitor scene is densest.
The ride begins at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island. Once your group clears the hall, the driver meets you at the curb, loads the luggage, and the vehicle heads out with no stops between the port and the resort. It is one straight run north along Florida’s Turnpike, about 230 miles, ending at the door of Avanti International Resort on International Drive.
Because ships rarely release every passenger at the same minute, the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation, and the included wait covers the pace of customs and the luggage hall. You walk out, the vehicle is there, and your bags stay in it the whole way. Plan on roughly 231 to 242 minutes from terminal to door depending on traffic, with tolls and fuel already built into the flat fare so nothing is added along the way.

Our whole crew walked off at once and it was so easy to have one private van waiting at the terminal for the ride to Avanti International Resort — nobody splitting up. There was a thirty-minute cushion from the agreed time, so we never had to rush off the ship. The driver handled the suitcases so we didn’t have to lift a thing.
