MCO · SFB · Port Canaveral
The shortest of the southbound transfers from the cruise pier, yet still two and three-quarter hours of driving at the least — so the end point and the break are worth planning.
Shortest run south
Of the drives south from Port Canaveral listed here, West Palm Beach is the shortest: 140 to 155 miles, with an estimated 165 to 220 minutes behind the wheel. That makes it a good fit for travelers who want a hotel stay on the coast after the cruise, or who simply live there. Shorter does not mean casual, though.
Palm Beach island and West Palm Beach are two separate destinations, and crossing to the island by bridge can add time, so the booking needs the actual hotel or home rather than the town name. If something is waiting at the other end — a check-in time, a meeting, a flight from the airport — note it on the reservation so the pickup leaves room for it. As with any port pickup, the car is summoned once everyone has left the vessel and reclaimed their luggage.
By the figures
The mileage and time come from the operator and describe West Palm Beach itself. A hotel across the water on Palm Beach island, or the airport, adds its own last stretch.
Add any further stop along the coast to the itinerary before payment, so the route you pay for is the route that gets driven.
Stage by stage
A West Palm Beach hotel, a home or the airport terminal — and whether it is on the mainland or the island. Add any arrival time you need to keep.
Once the group has disembarked, cleared arrival procedures and gathered its bags, contact the chauffeur, who brings the vehicle round to the pickup area.
One break of up to 30 minutes is included. If you would like more than one stop along the coast, add it to the itinerary before you pay.
The chauffeur heads for the address on file; when it is on Palm Beach island, the bridge crossing forms part of the final approach.
Nearly three hours in the car, often more, still calls for the right seats and cargo space — particularly when the trip ends at a hotel entrance.
SedanLincoln Continental or similar
A good fit for a couple checking into a West Palm Beach hotel with one case apiece; the Lincoln-class sedan unloads quickly at the entrance.
What's included
Put your hotel's check-in time on the booking, and the Canaveral pickup is chosen with it in view.
The mainland city and Palm Beach island count as different destinations, so the reservation pins down which one.
The team includes women chauffeurs; request one at booking, subject to availability.
The included break runs up to half an hour; anything more along the coast is added to the itinerary beforehand.
Assistance for reservations and booked trips is available 24/7, in English or Spanish.
Enter the itinerary and the form displays one all-inclusive figure; look it over before any payment goes through.
Some travelers would rather not end a cruise at an airport. Heading south to a West Palm Beach hotel turns disembarkation day into the start of a few extra days, and a private car makes the move in one go, luggage and all. Give the hotel's name and street address, not just the city, and mention the check-in time if you want to arrive close to it. If a restaurant or an errand is on your list for the way down, the included stop covers up to 30 minutes; a longer break or a second stop should be added to the itinerary before you pay.
The two names are easy to confuse, and they are not the same place for a driver. Palm Beach island is reached by bridge from the mainland, and that approach can add time to the end of the trip. When you book, enter the exact hotel or residence, and if you are flying out from the area's airport, choose that terminal and add your flight's departure. The 140 to 155 miles quoted on this page are measured to West Palm Beach, so an island address or the airport sits outside that estimate.
Plans shift after a week at sea, so it helps to know the terms. On a long-distance transfer, the whole fare comes back if you cancel two days or more ahead of pickup; between one and two days out, half is charged; with less than a day to go, nothing is refunded. Sprinter bookings run on a 72-hour window. Adjusting the booking while the full-refund window is still open costs no administrative fee, although the new itinerary's own fare still applies. Cancellations must be sent in writing — by email, WhatsApp or the cancellation option in the booking system — and take effect when they are received.

Why private
The cruise starts at the gangway. The 46 miles between a runway and that gangway are the part worth handing to someone else.
Port Canaveral restricts terminal access to prearranged, permitted commercial transport. This service holds permits at the port, at MCO and at Orlando Sanford, so nothing gets negotiated at a gate.
A shared shuttle waits for other flights and stops at other ships. A private transfer leaves when your group is ready and drives to one terminal: yours.
Formal nights and a week of swimwear add up. You choose the vehicle at booking against your headcount and suitcases — up to twelve travelers and twelve bags in the Sprinter.
Up to two car seats and two boosters come free. Ask for them in the booking form.
The booking form shows an all-inclusive rate for your itinerary before you confirm — no meter running east of the airport.
Forgot the swimsuits? Every transfer includes one stop of up to 30 minutes on the way, requested at booking.
