From $645 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Fantasy Island Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside greeting costs nothing extra; the Meet & Greet at the terminal with a name sign adds $40.
Fantasy Island Resort sits in Daytona Beach Shores, the compact strip of oceanfront community that runs south along Florida’s Atlantic coast. It is a resort address rather than a hectic downtown corner, which means your ride ends where you actually desire to be — at the property door, with the coast a short walk away and the day already yours to plan.
Because this is a terminal-to-door private transfer, there is no second leg to sort out once you reach Daytona Beach Shores. Your chauffeur pulls up to the entrance, handles the bags at the curb, and hands the trip off to the front desk rather than to another line. For questions about rooms, parking, and check-in times, the resort’s own front desk is the right source; those details belong to the property, and we keep our part simple by delivering you and your luggage to it directly.
The setting is the appeal here. Daytona Beach Shores is a quieter neighbor to the wider Daytona area, built around the beach and the ocean drive, so arrivals tend to feel calm even after a long travel day. You step out of a clean, climate-controlled vehicle, the driver unloads, and the transition from cruise morning to coastal stay happens in one move. Whether you are checking in for a few nights or meeting family already there, the ride is booked to end at this one door, so the last part of a long day is the easiest part.
The trip begins curbside at your PortMiami terminal, timed to your actual disembarkation rather than to whenever a car happens to be free. Your chauffeur is waiting when you walk off the ship, loads the luggage at the terminal curb, and the bags stay locked in the vehicle for the whole drive north — no mid-route transfers, no handling your own cases along the way. It is one group per vehicle, so the car is yours alone from the port to the resort door.
Plan on roughly 247 to 250 minutes from the terminal curb to the door at Fantasy Island Resort, depending on traffic and the time of day. Saturday and Sunday mornings are the port’s busiest stretch, with thousands of passengers coming ashore at once, so the pickup is planned around your ship’s schedule and the drive is a single direct leg up the coast to Daytona Beach Shores.
