From $340 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Bayfront Inn 5th Ave Naples Downtown Hotel 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.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
The Bayfront Inn 5th Ave sits in the heart of downtown Naples, on the Gulf coast where southwest Florida meets the water. The hotel puts you within reach of Fifth Avenue South, the district that gives Naples its reputation, with its white-tablecloth blocks of restaurants, shops, and simple evening walks. Set the bags down at the front desk and the town opens up on foot, the Gulf close enough that a beach afternoon needs no plan beyond deciding when to go.
Naples refines this stretch of coast, and the hotel’s location makes that simple to feel. The historic pier is the classic place to watch the sun drop into the Gulf, and the water sits near enough to walk to once you have checked in. Third Street South, another of the city’s storied blocks, is close by, and the Naples Botanical Garden offers an afternoon somewhere green when the sun is high. The Everglades wait at the back door for anyone drawn to the wild side of the peninsula.
For travelers stepping off a ship at PortMiami, the Bayfront Inn works as a peaceful landing on the opposite coast. Drop the cruise luggage, trade the ship for a quiet room near the water, and let the first evening be a slow walk down Fifth Avenue South or out to the Naples Pier. Guests here frequently fit in the pier and Fifth Avenue South soon after they reach, with the botanical garden and the beach filling out the days that follow. It is the kind of base that rewards staying put and exploring on foot.
The ride starts the moment your group clears the terminal at PortMiami. Your chauffeur is staged at the curb of the exact terminal your cruise line uses, ready to load every bag while you catch your breath after disembarkation. From there it is one direct leg west across the peninsula on I-75 — the luggage stays in the vehicle the whole way, and the car belongs to your party alone, door to door.
