From $345 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Innovation Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the curbside greeting included in the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal available for $40 if you desire it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Innovation Hotel sits on Florida’s opposite coast, over in Naples, a good long haul from the cruise piers of the Atlantic side. The drive takes you clear across the peninsula on I-75, so by the time your chauffeur turns off toward the hotel you have swapped the bustle of the port for the quieter rhythm of the Gulf. The group is dropped right at the entrance, bags carried to the curb beside you, and the day is yours from there.
The setting is one of the real draws. The Naples Pier and the shops and galleries of Fifth Avenue South both sit within simple reach of the stay, close enough to fold into an afternoon without much planning. Naples pairs powder-soft beaches with a simple, walkable core, and that mix of sand and street is a large part of why travelers point their transfer this way.
There is more just beyond the door. The Naples Botanical Garden makes for a peaceful morning among the plantings, and Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park puts protected shoreline within a short hop for anyone who wants the beach without the crowd. For the hotel side of things — amenities, luggage holds, early check-in and the rest — Innovation Hotel’s own official page carries the current detail. What we handle is the part between the ship and that front entrance: one private vehicle, your group only, running direct to the door so the arrival is the simple part of the journey.
Pickup happens at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, planned around your sailing rather than around whatever is free at the curb. Disembarkation mornings back up speedy at the terminal exits, so your chauffeur is staged before you clear the hall — the wait is theirs, not yours. Bags go straight into the vehicle with luggage help at both ends, and then it is one exclusive vehicle, your group only, pointed west.
From the port the route runs I-75 for the long crossing to Naples, roughly 131 miles door to terminal. Plan on about 132 to 143 minutes on the road, quiet hours to rush hour, and the group is set down at the Innovation Hotel entrance. Gas, typical tolls and bag assistance are already inside the flat rate, so the number you booked is the number you pay when you step out.
