From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Orange Lake Resorts 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.
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.
Orange Lake Resorts sits in the Orlando region, a short drive from the theme parks that pull travelers to central Florida. It is a sprawling vacation resort built for longer stays — the kind of place where families settle in for a week rather than a single night. The property leans into golf and villa-style living, so guests reach to grounds that feel more like a small community than a single hotel tower.
When your ride pulls up after the long run from the coast, the driver takes you straight to the property, luggage and all. Because Orange Lake is set among golf courses and rental villas rather than a hectic downtown block, the arrival is peaceful — no circling for a curb, no fighting city traffic at the door. You step out where you are staying, the bags follow, and the drive is behind you.
The location is the quiet part of the Orlando story: the parks sit minutes away, but the crowds do not follow you back to the resort at night. Guests who want more than the parks find golf close at hand and plenty of room to spread out across the grounds. It makes a practical base for a cruise-and-parks journey — you dock at the Port of Miami, ride north, and land somewhere built for the days that come after the ship.
After you clear the cruise terminal at the Port of Miami, your driver is already waiting at the curb. The bags go into the vehicle once, at the terminal, and stay there until Orange Lake Resorts — no transfers, no stops along the way. The route runs north on Florida’s Turnpike as one direct leg to the resort door.
Plan on roughly 235 miles and about 240 to 248 minutes on the road, traffic depending. The pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock, so a slow morning walking off the ship does not cost you the ride. It is a long haul, but a private one — you set the pace, the vehicle is yours alone, and the journey ends where you are staying.

There were seven of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to Orange Lake Resorts was far simpler than splitting into cars. We went from the terminal to a real bed with zero hassle along the way. The driver handled the suitcases so we didn’t have to struggle with anything.
Our group came off the ship together and arranged one private van from the cruise terminal to Orange Lake Resorts. No line to stand in — we just walked from the terminal to a car that was already there. We went from the ship to the front desk of Orange Lake Resorts with nothing to worry about in between.
After a week at sea I only wanted a clean handoff, so a private car from the port to Orange Lake Resorts was money well spent.
