From $370 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Spark by Hilton Fort Myers in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
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.
Spark by Hilton Fort Myers puts you in a city that wears its history openly. Fort Myers is top known as the winter home of two American inventors, and the Edison & Ford Winter Estates remain the anchor of any visit here — riverside grounds, historic houses, and the botanical gardens that Thomas Edison planted. Guests staying at Spark by Hilton frequently create the estates their first stop once they have dropped their bags and settled in.
The hotel sits within reach of a downtown that has come back to life along the water. The River District is the heart of that revival: a walkable stretch of restored storefronts, restaurants, and evening activity set against the Caloosahatchee riverfront. It gives Fort Myers a character that feels lived-in rather than staged, and it is a simple way to fill an afternoon or a first night off the ship without planning much at all.
Sports travelers have their own reason to land here. Fort Myers is a spring-training town, and two ballparks sit on the edges of the city — JetBlue Park and Hammond Stadium — drawing fans during the preseason weeks. Spark by Hilton makes a practical home base for all of it: close enough to the estates and the River District to discover on foot or by short drive, and quiet enough to return to when the day is done. Whether your journey is built around the gardens, the downtown, or a ballgame, the hotel keeps you near the parts of Fort Myers people actually come to see.
The journey is booked before you sail, so disembarkation stays simple. Your chauffeur is staged for your ship’s arrival at its own terminal on Dodge Island, coordinated by message as your group clears the exit, and meets you at the curb. Bags go straight into the vehicle, and the car runs to Spark by Hilton Fort Myers with no stops along the way. A built-in 30 minutes of complimentary wait absorbs customs and the luggage hall, so the pace of the port never costs you the ride within that time.
From the Port of Miami, the route follows I-595 for the roughly 147-mile drive across to Fort Myers, normally 144 to 156 minutes depending on traffic. That is the one real variable, which is why the pickup is planned around your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare rather than a slot cut to the minute. At the other end, the driver pulls up to the hotel entrance and carries the bags to the curb beside you.
