From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Homewood Suites by Hilton Orlando-UCF Area 1 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.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The curbside greeting there is included in the fare; the Meet & Greet at the terminal is a $40 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
Homewood Suites by Hilton Orlando-UCF Area 1 is an extended-stay hotel set in Orlando, in the district that surrounds the University of Central Florida. It is built for travelers who want more room than a standard room gives — a place to unpack, spread out, and settle in for a few nights rather than one. That makes it an easy landing spot after a long day at sea, whether you are in town for a single evening or the front end of a longer Central Florida trip.
The location keeps the wider city within reach. Downtown Orlando and Winter Park supply the grown-up side of the metro — lakeside parks, museums, and a boutique-lined main street. Guests often work in Lake Eola Park and the Kia Center once they are ashore, with the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum and the surrounding arts district also close by in Orlando. It is a practical base that puts the peaceful, walkable corners of the city on one side and the bigger attractions on the other.
At the property itself, the front desk handles the details that matter most after a cruise: help with luggage, holds for bags when you reach ahead of your room, and early check-in when it can be arranged. The current amenity list and check-in specifics live on Homewood Suites by Hilton Orlando-UCF Area 1’s own page, so you can confirm the particulars for your dates before you journey.
This is a terminal-to-door private transfer. Once you clear disembarkation at the Port of Miami, your chauffeur is already staged at the cruise terminal, so the wait is theirs and not yours. You are met curbside, your bags are loaded, and the group rides together — one vehicle, one flat fare, no strangers and no added stops along the way.
From the port, the driver takes Florida’s Turnpike and I-95 north toward Orlando, a run of roughly 230 to 243 minutes depending on traffic and the hour. Your luggage stays with you in the vehicle the whole way, and the group sets the pace. At the end, the driver pulls up to the entrance of Homewood Suites by Hilton Orlando-UCF Area 1 and carries your bags to the curb beside you. On a drive this long, having your own vehicle is the difference in how the day feels.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
