From $340 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to GreenLinks Golf 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.
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.
GreenLinks Golf Villas sits on the far side of the Florida peninsula from PortMiami, out on the Gulf coast near Naples where the state runs down to the water. Reaching it from the cruise terminal is a run of about 105.5 miles by road — a genuine coast-to-coast crossing rather than a swift journey across town. The name tells you what it is: a cluster of golf villas, the kind of place where the pace eases the moment the car pulls in and the engine goes quiet.
What catches most arriving guests is how close the water sits. The shoreline is only steps from the villas, and plenty of travelers coming straight off a sailing swap the ship’s pool deck for real sand the same afternoon they step ashore. It makes for a soft landing after days at sea — you can be standing on the beach long before you have properly unpacked.
The setting rewards anyone who likes to wander. On Florida’s opposite coast, Naples pairs powder-soft beaches and its landmark pier with the galleries along Fifth Avenue and a botanical garden worth a slow morning. Between the golf on the doorstep and that Gulf-side rhythm just up the road, GreenLinks makes a simple base for a group that wants the ship behind them and the quiet coast ahead. There is little between arrival and the water, which is part of why guests treat the first afternoon as the start of the journey, not a journey day.
The ride begins right at your ship’s terminal on Dodge Island, once your group has cleared the exit with luggage in hand. Your chauffeur is already staged at the curb, with 60 minutes of courtesy wait built in, so a slow disembarkation never costs you the car within that time. Bags go straight into the vehicle, and the group settles in for the crossing to the Gulf coast.
From the port the driver follows Southwest 8th Street onto US-41 for the 105.5-mile run west, a journey that commonly takes 128 to 138 minutes depending on the hour and the traffic. Tolls and fuel are already inside the flat rate, so nothing is added along the way, and the car pulls up at the entrance to GreenLinks Golf Villas with the bags carried to the door beside you.
