From $365 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to SunStream Hotels & Resorts in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full journey one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside greeting costs nothing extra; the Meet & Greet at the terminal with a name sign adds $40.
SunStream Hotels & Resorts sits on Fort Myers Beach, over on Florida’s Gulf side and about 144.4 miles by road from Port of Miami. It is a genuine cross-state destination rather than a quick hop, which is part of what makes arriving by private vehicle feel like the peaceful, natural end to a cruise. You step out of the terminal, settle into your own vehicle, and the coast does the rest of the talking once you reach the water.
The setting is Estero Island, a long, narrow barrier island edged by seven miles of shallow Gulf water that eases out gently from the sand. At the island’s heart is the pier district around Times Square, the walkable core where the beach town gathers. Next door lie the wilder shores of Lovers Key, so the area gives you both a lively pier scene and quiet stretches of coast within easy reach of one another.
On arrival, the pace is meant to be simple. Your chauffeur brings you to the door at SunStream Hotels & Resorts, hands over every bag, and leaves you free to trade journey clothes for beach ones. With Fort Myers Beach right on the shallow Gulf, a slow afternoon by the water is the obvious first move once your luggage is inside. Drop the bags, walk toward the shoreline, and let the long drive from the port fade behind you. If you are planning extra days, the island’s mix of pier-town energy and open Gulf beaches rewards a lingering stay rather than a rushed one.
The ride runs terminal to door as one direct leg. Your chauffeur meets you at the exact terminal your cruise line uses, loads every bag at the curb, and the luggage travels inside the vehicle with you the whole way. Plan on roughly 144.4 miles and about 156 to 167 minutes along I-595, depending on the hour, and treat it as a single unbroken run to SunStream Hotels & Resorts with no other passengers along for the journey.
Because the port can be hectic on weekend mornings, the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation, so customs lines never cost you the ride. From the terminal you head straight for the Gulf coast in a vehicle kept for your party alone, with your own climate zone and room to stretch after a long sailing. The chauffeur handles the driving and the bags at both ends; you merely settle in for the crossing.

Our family of five came off the ship at PortMiami and the driver had room for all the suitcases for the ride to SunStream Hotels & Resorts.
My partner and I had a great sailing and capped it off with a private car ready at the curb to take us to SunStream Hotels & Resorts — not one worry at the terminal.
The group of us walked off together and it was a relief to have one private van waiting at the terminal for the ride to SunStream Hotels & Resorts — everyone in one vehicle. It was a private car for our party alone — no side pickups — so much nicer than piling in with strangers.
Nosso grupo todo descemos juntos e foi um alívio ter uma van privativa pronta no meio-fio para a viagem até SunStream Hotels & Resorts — todos num veículo só. Tínhamos todo o plano antes mesmo de o navio atracar, então não sobrava com o que se preocupar no terminal. A tarifa estava combinada antes, sem nada a mais no meio-fio.
