From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Runaway Beach Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full trip one way. Select by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Runaway Beach Resort sits in Kissimmee, the Central Florida town that spreads out just south of the Disney parks. It stands along the Irlo Bronson Highway, the long corridor that Kissimmee lines with resorts and pool-home communities — a stretch built for families who desire room to settle in after a day in the theme parks. Reaching it means leaving the coast behind and heading inland, into the flat, green country where vacation rentals and lakeside neighborhoods take over from the city.
The setting is unmistakably Central Florida. Kissimmee is lake country as much as resort country, and Lake Toho and its airboats are close enough to fill an afternoon once the parks lose their pull. The Irlo Bronson corridor keeps the everyday things — places to eat, shops, and quick errands — within easy reach of the resort, so you are never far from what you need. If you are planning extra days in the region, the official Experience Kissimmee guide lays out what is worth the trip.
After a long cruise and a longer drive up from the coast, arrival is the simple part. Your chauffeur brings you straight to the resort’s door, not a distant lot, and handles the luggage at the end of the ride the same way it was loaded at the terminal. You step out where you are staying, bags in hand, with the whole of the Kissimmee region — parks, lakes, and the highway’s resorts — laid out around you.
The ride is one direct run from the cruise terminal to Runaway Beach Resort. Your chauffeur is staged at the port, timed to your ship’s arrival, so once you clear customs and the luggage hall the vehicle is waiting curbside rather than in a parking lot. Bags go in at the terminal, and the route heads inland on Florida’s Turnpike — a single leg rather than a string of stops.
Plan on roughly 231 to 239 minutes from the terminal to the resort door, covering about 225 miles depending on the hour and the traffic. The luggage stays with you the entire way, and the vehicle is yours alone, so the pace of the drive is set by your group. You are dropped at the resort entrance with the bags carried to the door.
