From $630 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Vacation Village Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full trip one way. Select by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Vacation Village Resort sits in Clermont, out in the Central Florida countryside that draws cruise travelers looking to keep the vacation going after they step off the ship. It is a resort base rather than a swift overnight stop — the sort of place you settle into for a few days once the port is behind you. Booking a private ride straight to the door means the last leg of the trip is already handled before you dock.
Clermont sits well inland from the coast, and the resort is about 228.8 miles from Port of Miami by road. That distance is part of what makes a dedicated vehicle worth it: you are covering most of the Florida peninsula in one run, and doing it in your own car with your group and your luggage keeps the long stretch relaxing. The drive follows Florida’s Turnpike for the bulk of the trip, and your chauffeur brings you right to the resort entrance.
What you find on arrival is a resort meant for unwinding — room to spread out and a quieter pace than the port, in a Central Florida setting away from the coastal crowds. Bags are carried to the curb beside you, so the first thing you do at Vacation Village Resort is walk in, not wrestle suitcases. Plan on roughly 231 to 242 minutes between the port and the resort depending on the hour, and the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation so the ride is ready when you are.
The ride is door to door and private to your group. Once your ship clears and your group walks out, your chauffeur is waiting at the terminal on Dodge Island, organized by message as you exit so nobody circles the hall looking for a car. Luggage goes into the vehicle for you, and then it is one straight run to Vacation Village Resort with no shared stops along the way.
From Port of Miami the driver picks up Florida’s Turnpike and stays on it for most of the 228.8-mile trip, pulling off at the resort entrance in Clermont. Budget somewhere around 231 to 242 minutes depending on traffic and the hour you leave. The pickup is set to your real disembarkation time, and 60 minutes of courtesy wait is built in, so the pace of customs and the walk off the ship never costs you the ride within that time.
