From $605 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Summer Bay Orlando by Exploria Resorts in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
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.
Summer Bay Orlando by Exploria Resorts sits in Clermont, up in the lake hills that rise above Orlando’s vacation-home belt. This is resort-style lodging set within the broad sweep of gated pool-home communities and golf that spreads southwest of Disney — close enough to the theme parks for simple day trips, yet tucked into its own quieter pocket of central Florida rather than dropped in the middle of the tourist strip. For a family coming off a cruise, it makes a natural landing spot inland from the coast.
The country around the resort is defined by water and low green hills. The Clermont chain of lakes threads through the area, and Lake Louisa State Park lies neighboring for anyone who wants trails, open water, and shade once the park days are done. That mix — vacation homes, golf, and lake country — is what draws people to this stretch of Clermont, and it is a genuine road trip up from the port, which is exactly when having your own vehicle for the run earns its keep.
When your vehicle reaches the property, look for your driver at the main entrance. Anything tied to your actual stay — parking, check-in times, resort fees, or how the buildings are laid out — comes straight from Summer Bay Orlando by Exploria Resorts, so it is worth confirming those details with the resort before you travel. Our part is simpler: getting your whole party and every bag to the door, so the vacation can start the moment you step out of the vehicle.
The ride begins right at your ship’s terminal on Dodge Island. As your group clears the hall, the driver is coordinated by message and meets you at the curb, so there is no hunting through the port for a pickup. Bags go straight into the vehicle, and from there it is one direct run north — up Florida’s Turnpike, roughly 238 miles to the door of Summer Bay Orlando by Exploria Resorts.
Plan on something close to four hours behind the wheel, give or take with the traffic on the Turnpike. Because pickup follows your ship’s real arrival with a built-in wait window, a slow gangway does not cost you the ride within that time. The vehicle is yours alone for the whole trip, with room to stretch out and stops only when you ask — a comfortable way to cover the distance with cruise luggage and a tired group in tow.
