From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Florida Vacation Villas 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.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Florida Vacation Villas is a resort address in Kissimmee, the Central Florida town that sits just south of the Orlando theme parks. It lines up along US-192, the road locals call Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway, a busy vacation corridor stitched with resorts, restaurants, and pool-home communities. After a long drive up from the coast, arriving here means trading the port for the quieter, spread-out rhythm of Kissimmee’s tourist strip.
The region around Florida Vacation Villas gives you plenty to do once the cruise is behind you. Old Town Kissimmee, with its shops and small main street, is close by. Gatorland and the Kissimmee Lakefront are both within easy reach, and the broad waters of Lake Toho draw airboat riders looking for a slower, wilder side of Florida. It is a base that works well whether you plan on park days or lake days.
For anything tied to the property itself — room details, parking, check-in times, on-site amenities — the resort’s own page is the place to confirm it, since those specifics change and only the property can speak to them. What we handle is getting you and your bags to the door in one clean run. You step out of the vehicle at Florida Vacation Villas ready to start the Kissimmee half of your journey, with no shuttle line and no luggage-drag across the port to slow the morning down.
From the PortMiami terminal, this is one direct run of about 228 miles up to Kissimmee — no stops, no transfers, no strangers sharing the vehicle. Your chauffeur is staged and waiting before you clear the disembarkation hall, so once your group reaches the curb the car is already there. Bags go straight into the vehicle, everyone climbs in, and the drive to Florida Vacation Villas begins.
Plan on roughly 232 to 240 minutes from the terminal to the resort door, depending on the hour and the traffic. The route heads north out of the port and settles onto Florida’s Turnpike for most of the journey. You ride with your own group the whole way, and the chauffeur handles the luggage again at the Florida Vacation Villas end, so the last thing you carry is nothing.

No port scramble — we walked off the ship and the car was waiting, then straight to Florida Vacation Villas. Would book again.
There were eight of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to Florida Vacation Villas was far simpler than splitting into cars.
First time cruising on my own out of PortMiami, and having a private car ready at the curb for the trip to Florida Vacation Villas made it painless. There was a thirty-minute cushion from the agreed time, so I never had to rush to gather the bags.
