From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Sheraton Vistana Resort 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.
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.
Sheraton Vistana Resort sits along International Drive in Orlando, and the address for your ride is 8800 Vistana Centre Drive. It is a resort stay set within Orlando’s hectic tourist corridor, so after a long day at sea you reach at one settled address rather than a string of stops. Because the drop-off point is a single known address, the whole ride is planned around it in advance, and the chauffeur brings you straight to the property with your luggage, ending the journey right at the door.
International Drive — I-Drive to most people — is Orlando’s main tourist artery. Attractions, outlet malls, and the convention center are stacked end to end along its length, which puts the shops, the dining, and much of the city’s entertainment within the same stretch as your room. If your plans lean toward shopping, a show, or a simple walk to dinner, the resort’s place on this corridor keeps those options close. Much of this side of Orlando tends to gather here, which is part of why the resort sits where it does.
The region around the resort holds several of Orlando’s larger draws. Universal Orlando Resort and ICON Park are within simple reach of the stay, and the Orange County Convention Center and SeaWorld Orlando are also neighboring on International Drive. That mix — theme parks, a main convention venue, and I-Drive’s own lineup of things to do — means the destination works for a family parks week, a business journey, or a quiet stopover between sailings, all from a single base you can settle into.
From the Port of Miami, the ride to Sheraton Vistana Resort is one run north along Florida’s Turnpike — about 227.2 miles, ending at the resort’s door. Plan on 225 to 252 minutes between the cruise terminal and the resort, depending on the hour. The driver meets your group at the exact terminal your cruise line uses on Dodge Island, organized by message as you clear the hall, so there is no searching for a car once you step outside.
Your bags go into the vehicle at the pier and come out at 8800 Vistana Centre Drive, with no mid-route transfers and no sharing the space with another group. The pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare rather than a fixed slot, and traffic on the Turnpike is the only real variable on a drive this long. It is your own vehicle for the whole journey, so you set the departure and the pace.
