From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Xenia Hotels & Resorts in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The curbside greeting there is included in the fare; the Meet & Greet at the terminal is a $40 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
Xenia Hotels & Resorts puts you in Orlando, a city with far more going on than the theme parks it is famous for. Once you settle in, the everyday side of town is easy to reach: Lake Eola downtown, where swans glide across the water in the middle of the skyline, and the boutiques along Park Avenue in nearby Winter Park. It is the kind of base that works whether you came for the attractions or just want a comfortable place to land after a week at sea.
The region around your stay gives you real reasons to step out. Arena nights at the Kia Center draw crowds for concerts and games, and the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum keeps a quiet, unhurried pace for anyone who would rather spend an afternoon indoors. Downtown streets, leafy residential blocks, and small shopping strips are all within an easy loop, so you are never far from a meal, a coffee, or a place to wander.
When your driver pulls up, the drop-off covers Orlando and the streets right around your stay, with your bags carried to the curb beside you rather than left on the sidewalk. You reach at the entrance, not a distant lot, which matters most after a long journey day. Whether Xenia is your first night on land or a few extra days tacked onto the journey, the location keeps the city’s downtown, its parks, and its quieter corners all within reach.
This is a genuine road journey: roughly 232 miles from the Port of Miami cruise terminal up to Xenia Hotels & Resorts, following Florida’s Turnpike for most of the way. Your driver is staged before you clear the disembarkation hall, so the wait belongs to them, not you. From the curb at your ship’s terminal, your group and all its luggage go straight into one reserved vehicle and stay together for the whole run north.
Plan on about 231 to 241 minutes door to door, depending on how the morning traffic stacks up. The bags ride with you the entire journey, your own climate and space the whole way, and the vehicle stops only when you ask. When you reach Orlando, the driver takes you right to the entrance at Xenia and helps carry everything from the vehicle to the curb.
