From $340 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to WoodSpring Suites Naples East in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
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.
WoodSpring Suites Naples East sits on Florida’s opposite coast, in a town built around the water. Naples is the kind of place where powder-soft sand and the old wooden pier share the map with galleries, gardens, and quiet streets you can actually walk. After days at sea, having a fixed base here means you drop the bags, breathe, and let the pace slow down on your own terms rather than the ship’s.
The location keeps the shoreline within simple reach, and plenty of guests trade the pool deck for real Gulf sand the same afternoon they step off the ship. From this stay, the Naples Pier and Fifth Avenue South are close by, with Third Street South and the Naples Botanical Garden also neighboring. That mix — beach in the morning, galleries and dinner in the evening, a garden walk whenever you like — is what makes Naples a simple landing spot after a cruise, and this hotel puts you in the middle of it.
The property side of things is handled by the hotel directly. Details like available amenities, luggage holds, and early check-in are covered on WoodSpring Suites Naples East’s own page, so it is worth a quick look before you travel. What we take care of is everything before you reach that front desk: getting you and your luggage from the cruise terminal to the door in one clean run, with a chauffeur who knows the route and no shared seats along the way. You arrive rested, on your schedule, ready to start the Naples half of the journey.
This is a door-to-door private transfer from the Port of Miami cruise terminal straight to WoodSpring Suites Naples East. Your chauffeur is staged at the terminal before you clear the hall, so the wait is theirs, not yours. Bags go into your own vehicle at the curb, and from there it is a single direct leg west across the state — no transfers, no extra stops, one group in one vehicle the whole way.
The route runs along I-75, covering about 123.5 miles in roughly 118 to 131 minutes depending on the morning. Because the fare is locked when you book, cruise-day crowds and hectic terminal exits do not change your price or your plan. You set the departure and the pace; the chauffeur handles the driving and the luggage at both ends. It is the calm, direct way to cross from the port to the Gulf coast after a long disembarkation morning.
