From $620 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to The Lodge at Hamlin in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
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 Lodge at Hamlin sits in the Winter Garden and West Orange corner of Central Florida, a quieter pocket of the region that keeps its own small-town character. It is the kind of base that puts you close to local streets and lakeside scenery rather than the middle of a hectic strip, so your arrival feels peaceful after a long day of journey. By road it lies about 245 miles from the Port of Miami cruise terminals.
Step outside and the area gives you real places to wander. Historic Plant Street is within simple reach, lined with shops that draw people in for an afternoon, and on Saturdays the Winter Garden Farmers Market brings the street to life with local produce and makers. It is a walkable, low-key scene that rewards taking your time, a welcome change of pace from the rush of a cruise turnaround.
The setting leans on water and greenery. The Butler Chain of Lakes stretches nearby, and the community of Windermere adds to the scenery that gives this part of West Orange its appeal. Whether you are here for a few nights before flying home or making Winter Garden your quiet corner of an Orlando-area journey, The Lodge at Hamlin keeps you near the shops, the market, and the lakes while staying just far enough from the crowds. For a wider look at the region, the official Visit Orlando guide is a good place to plan any extra days.
Your driver meets you at the exact terminal your cruise line uses, organized by message as you walk off the ship, so there is no wandering the port looking for a pickup. Bags go straight into your own vehicle with a hand from the chauffeur, and the ride runs door to door from the terminal to the entrance of The Lodge at Hamlin. The route follows Florida’s Turnpike for the roughly 245-mile journey, with no shared stops and no detours along the way.
Plan on about 240 to 249 minutes from the terminal curb to the hotel door, depending on traffic and the time of day. The pickup is built around your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare, and a 60-minute wait window absorbs a slow gangway, so you never feel rushed. Gas, standard tolls, and luggage assist at both ends are already covered, and the whole vehicle is yours for the drive.
