From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Sheraton Vistana Villages 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.
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 want it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Sheraton Vistana Villages Resort sits in Orlando, set among the theme-park country that draws cruise guests inland once they step off the ship. It is a large resort property built for travelers who want room to spread out rather than a single hotel night, and it works equally well as a first stop or a last one on either side of a sailing. The lobby door is where your ride begins or ends, and the front desk is the place to sort rooms, parking, and check-in details.
The location is the real draw. The resort belongs to Orlando’s International Drive world — the long, hotel-lined boulevard that ties together Universal Orlando Resort, SeaWorld Orlando, ICON Park’s observation wheel, and the Orange County Convention Center. Shoppers have the Orlando International Premium Outlets within reach, and the wider stretch of I-Drive keeps restaurants and attractions close without a long haul between them. Guests staying here routinely fold a park day or a convention into the same journey that includes a cruise.
For a cruise traveler, that mix is the point. You can dock in Miami, ride straight to the resort, and wake up within striking distance of the parks the next morning. Or you can spend your final Orlando days here before heading down to the port. Either way the resort gives your group a home base with space, and the surrounding I-Drive corridor handles the rest. When you are ready to head back to PortMiami, the same door is where your chauffeur meets you.
The run from the Port of Miami to Sheraton Vistana Villages Resort is one long, direct leg — roughly 232 miles, and normally 225 to 245 minutes from the terminal curb to the resort door. Your chauffeur meets you at the exact terminal your cruise line uses, timed to your ship’s arrival, so a slow customs line does not cost you the ride.
Your bags go into the vehicle at the pier and come out at the lobby — no dragging luggage, no changing cars along the way. The vehicle is yours alone for the whole journey, with fuel and standard tolls already covered, so there is nothing to settle on the road. Traffic on Florida’s Turnpike is the one variable, which is why pickup is built around your actual arrival with time to spare rather than a fixed slot.
