From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham 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.
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.
Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham sits in Orlando, the Central Florida city most travelers know first for its theme parks. The all-suite name is a clue to the stay: room to spread out after a week at sea, which suits families and groups who desire more than a single bedroom. It makes a practical base once you step off the ship, close to the attractions that draw people here yet part of a genuine working city rather than a strip of gates and turnstiles.
Orlando rewards guests who look beyond the parks. Downtown, Lake Eola Park draws walkers to its lake and resident swans, while the Kia Center fills on game and concert nights. A short hop north, Winter Park lays out Park Avenue and its run of boutiques, and the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum sits close by as well. From Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham you are within reach of all of it, so a day ashore can hold something other than a queue.
Arrival is meant to be simple. Your driver brings you to the lobby door at the hour agreed, so the last leg of a long journey day ends with your bags carried in rather than dragged across a lot. The hotel puts you in a part of Orlando where dinner, a quiet stroll, or an early night are all simple choices, whichever way the cruise has left your group feeling.
The journey runs as one direct leg. Your chauffeur is staged at your ship’s terminal before you clear the hall, loads every bag at the curb, and points the vehicle onto Florida’s Turnpike. From the Port of Miami to Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham is roughly 244 miles, and the drive commonly takes somewhere between 240 and 248 minutes, lighter or heavier with the traffic of the day.
Because the ride is reserved for your group alone, there are no other stops and no waiting on strangers. Disembarkation mornings back up at the terminal exits, but that wait belongs to the driver, not to you; your reservation carries 60 minutes of free time at the port so a slow customs line never costs you the car within that time. The last mile ends at the hotel lobby, bags in hand, at the address you gave us.
