From $370 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Stay Inn & Suites Fort Myers in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full journey one way. Select by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
The Stay Inn & Suites Fort Myers gives you a straightforward home base in a Gulf Coast city with real character. Fort Myers grew up around Thomas Edison’s winter estate on the banks of the Caloosahatchee River, and that history still shapes the place. Arriving here after a long day at sea, you obtain somewhere quiet to unpack, a room that is yours, and a spot to set down your cruise luggage before you start exploring the wider region.
What sits within simple reach is part of the appeal. The Edison & Ford Winter Estates are close by, a pair of historic homes and gardens that draw visitors from across the coast. The downtown River District — the liveliest part of Fort Myers, full of places to eat and wander — is also a short journey from the hotel. If you are in town for baseball, JetBlue Park and Hammond Stadium are both neighboring, which makes the Stay Inn & Suites a practical choice during spring training season.
For most cruisers, the point of a stay like this is simplicity: one address, a simple check-in, and a location that keeps the estates, the River District, and the ballparks all within a manageable orbit. Whether your journey is built around Edison’s gardens, an evening downtown, or a game under the Florida sun, the hotel keeps you close to what brought you to Fort Myers without putting you in the middle of the crowd.
The journey runs terminal to door. Once your cruise clears and you step off the ship at the Port of Miami, your chauffeur is waiting at the exact terminal your line uses, ready to take your bags from the curb. From there it is one straight run of about 154.5 miles along I-595 to the Stay Inn & Suites Fort Myers, with no shared stops and no detours — the vehicle is yours alone for the whole drive.
Plan on roughly 152 to 164 minutes from the port to the hotel door, depending on how I-595 is moving that day. Your luggage rides inside the vehicle with you, fuel and typical tolls are already in the fare, and the pickup is timed to your ship’s real arrival rather than a fixed slot, so the pace of disembarkation never leaves you rushing.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
