From $340 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Paradise Inn of Naples in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
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.
Paradise Inn of Naples sits in Naples, the polished corner of Florida’s Gulf coast where the pace slows the moment you reach. This is the town that refines the coastline — white-tablecloth blocks, a historic pier that draws a crowd at sunset, and the wild edge of the Everglades sitting just out the back door. Booking a private ride means you step off the ship and journey straight here, no changes and no shared stops, with your bags in the vehicle the whole way.
The setting is the draw. Fifth Avenue South is the heart of it, a walkable run of restaurants and shops that fills up in the evening. A few blocks over, Third Street South carries the same simple energy with its own quieter character. When you desire green and quiet instead, the Naples Botanical Garden is close by, and the Naples Pier is the spot to end the day looking out over the water.
Because Naples sits right on the coast, the beach is the natural next move after a cruise. Drop your things at Paradise Inn of Naples and walk toward the Gulf — the sand and the water are part of what makes the town what it is. Details on the property itself, from luggage holds to early check-in, live on the hotel’s own official page. What the ride delivers is the simple part: your group, one vehicle, and a straight line from the terminal curb to the front door.
The ride is a single, direct leg. Your chauffeur meets your group at the curb of your ship’s own terminal, loads every bag, and heads out toward Naples by way of Southwest 8th Street and US-41. There are no other passengers and no detours — the vehicle is reserved for your party alone, so the road time is yours to stretch out, set your own climate, and stop only when you ask. Your luggage rides with you the whole way, from the pier to Paradise Inn of Naples.
Plan on roughly 131 to 141 minutes between the port and the hotel, depending on the hour. Saturday and Sunday mornings are the port’s busiest stretch, when thousands of passengers walk off the ships at once, so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock. The US-41 traffic is already built into the plan, which keeps the arrival at Paradise Inn of Naples seamless and predictable.

Reunión familiar en Miami, nuestro grupo, muy paciente con nosotros.
We reserved one van for the entire crew from the terminal to Paradise Inn of Naples so nobody got left behind. No scramble at the port — we just stepped out and the car was ready. Getting to Paradise Inn of Naples with no detours meant we could settle in without waiting around. Highly recommend.
Como crucerista solo, coordiné un traslado privado del puerto a Paradise Inn of Naples para la mañana del desembarque, y fue la mejor decisión del viaje. Ya guardé el contacto para mi próximo crucero desde PortMiami.
Sacar a un grupo grande del barco y hasta Paradise Inn of Naples suele ser un dolor de cabeza, pero una van privada reservada le quitó todo el estrés. Reservar fue simple, recibimos una confirmación sólida, y todo salió tal cual. El van estaba limpio, fresco y cómodo, con el aire perfecto tras el barco. Lo reservaría para el próximo crucero.
