From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Cane Island Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
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 desire it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Cane Island Resort sits in Kissimmee, about 228.8 miles by road from the Port of Miami, out along the US-192 corridor that has long served as the value base for Central Florida travelers. This is the stretch known locally as Irlo Bronson Highway, a run of vacation homes and family-sized stays set close to the theme parks. For a group stepping off a cruise ship and pointing north, it is a practical landing spot: enough room to spread out, and a short reach to the attractions that fill the rest of the journey.
The area around the resort has a character all its own. Old Town Kissimmee brings a carnival strip of rides and shops, and the classic gator attractions that Florida is known for are only minutes away. The parks themselves are close enough that mornings can start early and end without a long haul back. It is a corridor built for people who desire the parks neighboring but prefer a home base with a little more space than a room on the property.
There is also open water and old Florida within simple reach. Lake Tohopekaliga anchors the local landscape, and Gatorland gives families a genuine wildlife stop between park days. After a week at sea, the shift from ship to Kissimmee is a simple one to make, and the resort puts you in the middle of it all without asking you to chase from one end of town to the other. Everything that makes this part of Kissimmee worth the drive stays within a short journey of your door.
Your chauffeur is staged at your ship’s terminal before you clear the hall, so the wait belongs to the driver rather than to you. Bags are loaded at the curb, one group rides in the vehicle, and the car heads out on Florida’s Turnpike for a single, direct leg to Cane Island Resort. There is no hopping between stops and no stranger sharing the seat beside you; the whole journey runs door to door, from the terminal curb to the entrance of your stay in Kissimmee.
Plan on roughly 231 to 242 minutes for the drive, depending on the hour you leave, across the 228.8 miles between the Port of Miami and the resort. Disembarkation mornings back up fast at the terminal exits, but because the driver is already in place, your group moves as soon as it clears the hall. Fuel, typical tolls, and hands-on luggage help all ride inside the flat fare you booked.

Disembarking alone, I had a driver already at the curb for the ride to Cane Island Resort — no scramble at the port. There was a thirty-minute cushion from the agreed time, so I never had to rush off the ship. For a stress-free way to get from the ship to Cane Island Resort, it was money well spent. Thanks for the smooth handoff!
No íbamos a batallar con los pequeños y el equipaje buscando transporte en el puerto, así que reservamos una van privada a Cane Island Resort. Había un cartel con nuestro nombre en la acera, así que ubicamos al conductor al instante.
Smooth transfer, fixed fare, zero hassle from the terminal to Cane Island Resort. Would book again. The driver handled the suitcases so we didn’t have to juggle it all.
The two of us booked a private transfer for after the cruise so we wouldn’t hunt for a ride getting over to Cane Island Resort. We’ve already saved them for our next cruise out of PortMiami. There was a generous grace period from the agreed time, so we never had to rush off the ship.
Our group came off the ship together and booked one private van from the port to Cane Island Resort. It was a private car for our party alone — no side pickups — a relief after a week aboard. No line to stand in — we just went straight from the curb into the car. No stress at all.
